Nothing is more dull than what CFB has become, especially in person. Four hours and for the majority of the time you are watching nothing but people stand around because of commercials.

Baseball was better during the “steroid” era.

MLB is much better in person. TV? It can be brutal. I enjoy going to Cincinnati a couple times a season. Generally, it's a good family atmosphere and laid back.

The upshot of being 52 is that I can attend Senior Day games at half price admission lol.

Disagree. It's not the first option, but it's not torture.

I will say the new timing rules REALLY make the games move.

Don’t care about MLB that much anymore. But to steal a quote from someone that posted recently, baseball is back and there’s nothing more American than going to the park , getting a hotdog and watching nine guys from the Dominican Republic play .

MLB is The Final Four compared to golf….I’d watch the Sr. Ladies Bowling Tour or the Air Guitar Championship Tournament before I watched MLB or golf.

I've watched at least one every day since opening day last week. Now that I can finally watch Astros games at home, I'll be watching a lot more games in the future

You continue to have some terrible takes. MLB has been setting attendance records. It must suck to go through life with no intelligence.

Like reading this topic. You started a topic to express outrage, and then post no details. Details matter if you want to become a man and enjoy sports.

Check your estrogen levels, and then rub some Lume on the ole hoo-ha.

I’d take it a bit further. So many other sports have multiple feeds. Why not have one that show things from a “fan in the stands” perspective? One thing I like about going tot the games is being able to see everything that’s happening outside of the standard camera angles.

It isn’t baseball anymore. With all the silly rules and even more absurd strategies it’s more like watching extremely slow paced 7-8 year old baseball.

I watch some almost everyday. I rarely watch the NFL and never the NBA. It is almost like people enjoy different things.

But for some reason MLB TV producers love shoving the cameras up the nostrils of the batter and pitcher the entire game. I would watch more baseball if they stopped doing the constant closeups the entire game. I’d be happy seeing the centerfield cam for pitches and a camera on the second deck behind the plate showing the entire field between pitches.

I always find it interesting how insecure people like you are that you’ll defend anything modern no matter how inferior the product is. It’s really telling.
