As I sit here anticipating this afternoon's Cowboys/Vikings game I am thankful that the NFL is back. As other leagues struggle with falling attendances and labor problems the NFL continues to grow from strength to strength. I know I'd rather watch big play wide receivers and hard hitting safties than overpaid crybabies. Lock-outs and strikes. That's what fans of other leagues have to look forward to, but not us fans of the NFL. Aah, if everyday were Super Bowl Sunday. Why does Major League baseball think that revenue sharing is a mortal sin? If only MLB would learn a few lessons from the NFL were there are no small market teams. The Packers can compete with The Cowboys but The Brewers can't compete with The Yankees. Baseball needs to remember that horse racing used to be America's favorite sport. Now, hmm....nobody cares. As long as MLB thinks that it is invincible it is headed the same way as boxing and the ponies. More kids play soccer than baseball in this country. And nobody cares about soccer?

I agree. And what about the Texas Ranger who threw a chair into the crowd last night and broke that woman's nose? He's been charged with felony assault. I hope he's found guilty, and therefore deported back to the Dominican Republic, where he will spend the rest of his life in poverty!
