Except it does exist. It's why people wept when Mariano Rivera retired and no one is even sure if Ray Lewis is still playing or not. I know a guy who tried to draft him in a fantasy league this year.
They were just bored to tears.

Honestly, if some guy quitting is the highlight of the season then your sport has issues.

:lol: Highlight of the season

It's just another memorable moment for the best sport.

Really.

How many times did Brett Farve and his fans cry when he was supposed to retire?

Now, Bryan, I'm sure Mac will remember forever how he laid the points against his "favorite" team in that big Lions win in late September '13. :lol:

The simpletons and the small-dick crowd easily fall prey to such 'tribalism' wherein they get off Mandellbauming someone else based on their likes/dislikes ... in this case, sports fandom is the banner they run around with, mouth agape.

:lol:

No, it does not. There's absolutely nothing mythical or special about baseball. It's just a bunch of grown men trying to hit a ball. You're projecting something there that doesn't exist simply because you're a fan.

And CH thinks NBA fans are elitist. :lol:

I don't know about elitist. Definitely more of them.

I choose both, which is not the same as being a Cub and Sox fan.

I was hoping you would show up. Please tell us for how many days straight you cried when Brett Favre retired the first time, and how many the second time, and how many the third time. Show us the sophistication required to act like a woman.

Baseball has a connection with people and America that the NBA and NFL just cant attain.


Which is fine. They are all good for different reasons.

The NFL has a connection with people and America that MLB can't attain. What is your point?

I can direct you to many stadiums all around the country either on Saturday or Sunday that would prove you wrong.

Yeah Roger is correct. I do realize that NFL is king right now, but in terms of the historical significance in America, no sport is really even in the same conversation as baseball is.

Obviously. Horse racing and boxing are probably second and third on that list too.

It doesn't mean that currently the NFL and college football don't have a huge connection with people and America.

He disagreed with me on this, and you said he was correct.

Im not saying there is no emotional connection in the other sports, just not like baseball.

I think the every day aspect of baseball lends itself to that

What about Dick Pond? One of my middle school or high school teams would always order our shoes through them. I think it was wrasslin.
