I've never really gotten into baseball, but it's been a long sportless drought without hockey so I'm thinking of watching a game or two -- really watching and not kind of scorning. And maybe going to see a college game since everyone says it's different when you see baseball live and we do have a good baseball team.

Discovering hockey has kind of taken the shine out of my love for football. I never thought of football as being really slow until I compared it with the speed and fluidity (is that a word?) of hockey. With hockey the final minutes mean something -- sure it may be impossible for the losing team to win (or maybe even score a goal) but there are usually shots on goal -- there's plenty of action. Football has a tendancy to stagnat at the end. And the games end, sometimes, without the clock actually running out, because there's no chance of the other team even getting the ball.

Fluidity is a word, and a good one. I have on occasion turned on a football game of my own accord and watched it by myself. Like, the Hall of Fame pre-season game featuring the newly re-constituted Browns vs. the Cowboys. Ok, in reality? That was the most recent time. So, I'm not a big football fan. And I have never tuned in to watch a baseball game by myself.

But I find it enjoyable to watch a game in a room full of people who really like it.
