Then Bengals came and my dad got season tickets.
Then I Started having a strong emotional toe over the years to the Bengals.
Living in North Carolina, I have drifted from the Reds and have been mad at MLB for not adopting revenue sharing.
I watched the last game of the Series and was reminded about a lot of stuff that made me love baseball.
The point most pertinent here is the quality of the officiating. Full time professionals who rarely miss a call.
Contrast that to the NFL were crews are completely different and during games refs make calls that are completely inconsistent and decide games every week.
I think the integrity of baseball is at a much higher level than the NFL.
I think NFL ratings are dropping in part because people are getting sick and tired of refs deciding games every week with arbitrary calls.
I also think that the selfish display by multi millionaire NFL players disrespecting the country and their fans is also a huge problem that is just not present in baseball.
I can easily see baseball making a big come back and NFL dropping because of these and other issues including Roger GODell trying to jam his politically correct and NO FUN LEAGUE values down our face.
I watched the ending of the world series last night . I gave up being a die hard reds fan when griffey left I just thought they we're boring to me anymore. I loved how they had a pretty good offense back then.but I used to be hardcore, listening to the radio if they wasn't on, and I'd listen to Tracey Jones after the games and lance on the weekdays.I remember there was umpires that was horrible too. Wed lose games because the umps we're terrible. Tracey and the callers would call it out and be disgusted. So its baseball too
