Only 2.5 months or so until FF draft day.

Golf > Baseball

Soccer has been a saving grace. I'm glad ESPN is losing their ass everywhere else so they've been forced to show more soccer.

Golf can suck it. Baseball is tolerable with alcohol.

I love playing golf. I will watch the end of a golf major if things are close. Not the whole thing. Just the final few holes.

I won't watch a minute of a World Series game. I couldn't care less. Baseball is the single most boring sport in history.

If you took all the world's greatest golf moments, put them back to back, and gave me a line of coke, it's still more boring than the best World Series inning in recent memory after a couple vicodin and some scotch.

I would watch highlights of either, but I can't watch either game. But, if it were in person, I'd rather watch baseball and drink beer, than golf.

You know why you don't see tons of people getting drunk at golf events? They don't need to delude themselves into thinking they're having a good time. :D

Discussing what is more boring to watch though is like arguing which of the Real Housewife shows is best.

Long story short: The NFL and NCAA Football rule the sports landscape. #1a and #1b. Doesn't matter which one is at top, you're right either way. #2 is the NHL playoffs. #3 is the NBA playoffs. #4 is playing sports yourself and golf leads the way there.

Everything else is filler.

If everyone over the age of 50 suddenly died would baseball still exist?

I assume you stole that from an article about how baseball lets records set by obvious cheaters stand and destroys the integrity of the game because they don't care about the game or the fans only their money?

Oh fucking please. Does much blow did L.T. do on the sidelines? How many NFL players use PEDs during rehab or training that have never get penalized?

Shit. I forgot NCAA Basketball. My bad. It would be third on my list.

The NFL doesn't embrace their cheaters the way baseball did. Probably because the NFL wasn't heading the way of the dodo when all of its players suddenly realized that steroids help them play better. MLB looked the other way as their players shit all over the integrity of the game and are just giving it lip service now.

Meanwhile, Pete Rose remains banned.

Using the poster boy for how far the NFL will go to punish cheaters (remember, this Brady thing is being discussed as retaliation for the NFL not punishing the Patriots enough for Spygate) and linking clickbait isn't a good argument.

I can toss Bill, Kraft, and most of the team under that bus, too. Other sports have cheating players. The NFL has an entire team that's made a dynasty out of it.

The only "major" sport I think of a group of cheaters/thugs/undesirables who had a championship run is hockey and that's only because I don't follow it closely enough.

I include NASCAR in that despite it not being a sport.

Carson Wentz needed to be saved from a bathroom.

Do all time great QBs have careers that start this way? I doubt it.
