Football and especially baseball does not have enough "downtime" to
systematically drone you to death with a robotic unforgiving recital
of the same set of rules and nuances? LOL Dude, please... You're
going to break a bone stretching your argument like that.

There is approximately 30 seconds between plays in football, and the
announcers/producers are constantly researching and developing new
stuff to talk about to fill the gaps and keep things interesting after
an incomplete pass or a boring one yard run.

In baseball, they have A HUGE amount of time between pitches to fill
with miscellaneous tidbits, history, and facts.

They don't have the downtime... LOL Vintage RASN.

Every play in football has a replay, so no, there isn't enough time to
go over and over the rules.

Baseball sucks, IMO...rarely watch it. But, if I did start watching it,
I wish they would give out the rules from time to time because there is
a lot about the game that I don't understand. Maybe that is part of the
reason that I think it sucks.

You can also look at it this way, NASCAR is the only major sport where
you can't look up the rules. If I REALLY gave a shit about BB at least I
could look up the rules to have a better understanding of the sport.

There was one poster in here, that was asking questions about the NASCAR
rules on a weekly basis....I wonder why?

And a lot of the time the only person that KNEW the answer was John McCoy.

explain ANYTHING....lol

and, it meands NASCAR is losing fans, which means they will do even more
twiddling with the rules to make it "more appealing" to the masses.
I find it's become near unwatchable with the clown announcers and the
fact they act like the audience has never seen a race before.
they take for granted the old time fans like me and keep trying to get
everybody.
they've eliminated all real racing and instead instututed phoney "close
racing" by handicapping the teams ability to innovate.
So there are no new viewers?

do baseball or football broacasts explain everything every game?.

�if NA$CAR did football
Rusty "the Cowgirls have a new first down,what that means is they movedthe
ball forward at least ten yards and they now have four more downs",
DW" a down is a play run while trying to get another first down, which gives
them four more plays".
Jarrett "A first down gives the team a new set of four downs"
Alan B"lets send it to Jerry with the cutaway field to explain what a down
is"
Jerry, "This ovoid shape is known as a football, the team on offense
controls the ball, and if you look at the cutaway..."

They don't have the "down" time that you have in NASCAR. Why don't just
turn the volume down if it bothers you so much seem you don't seem to
have the ability to block out what you don't wanna hear?- Hide quoted text -

For the second straight week, NASCAR ratings dropped on ABC.

Sunday's AAA 400 drew a mere 2.7 overnight rating on ABC, down 13%
from a 3.1 last year, and down 18% from a 3.3 in '07. The 2.7 is the
second-lowest overnight for a Chase for the Cup race on broadcast,
ahead of only a 2.5 for last week's Sylvania 300.

All three NASCAR races on ABC this season have had a double-digit
decline in overnight ratings*.

The 2.7 overnight is the lowest ever for the AAA 400 on broadcast
television (2001, 2003, 2007-09).

* The Chevy Rock & Roll 400 was down 27% compared to the '07 race; the
'08 race was postponed due to rain and aired on ESPN.

Big deal. *Is this really that important to you?

You start a post then.- Hide quoted text -

So is DEJ

You're slower.

On some days, perhaps - but I see that I'm dealing with an 'unarmed' when it comes to tongue_in_cheek .... so we'll just let this die a slow death - hope you're ok with that.
