Adding to baseball’s woes is that the game itself has devolved to become even more boring. Strikeouts and home runs. That’s it. It’s a crisis for baseball, as it’s become unwatchable for all but the most die-hard fans, nevermind casual observers.
I agree that soccer will continue to struggle here. I think the core of the problem is that it’s intrinsically more boring than baseball. Global dominance comes more from history and culture than the sport itself, I think.
I wouldn’t be shocked if long term (and I mean 50-100 years) basketball is the dominant global sport.
This is certainly looking like a 5 or 6 win season. I have no idea what the top 10 looks like now. The early mock drafts will look nothing like the mock drafts in late April.
The Lions need a stud RB and DE. Either will suffice.
With Stafford’s bad back, they should make it a priority to get a stud RB or next season will be a waste too.
They are a bottom 5 team without Stafford, even if they land a stud DE.
I agree with this reasoning but would like to add the thoughts that this is what the wired in generation has come to expect as this is what is glorified on electronic media such as even the early days of ESPN.
I will add that I believe the same pretty much to be true for the NBA. I used to love the game of basketball and just can’t even watch it anymore because it’s nothing more for the most part then 3-pointers and dunks because that’s what gets the media highlights with a few exceptions. The blatant bias of who gets calls for and who gets calls against is even far worse than the NFL.
According to Urban Dictionary, the phrase soy boy means: “Slang used to describe males who completely and utterly lack all necessary masculine qualities. This pathetic state is usually achieved by an over-indulgence of emasculating products and/or ideologies.“
He understands what it means, but he’s challenging the validity of how the phrase started…which was with the idea that soy increases estrogen and decreases testosterone.
Yeah! That’s my vote too. More valuable to the Packers than Rodgers ever thought of being. Rodgers couldn’t save his team from the Lions, but the Ref wearing #100 had no problem bringing his team back from the brink of defeat.
