Not a football fan Kyle?

by jmeks23 on Feb 6, 2011 11:58 AM CST reply actions

I watch it on Sundays because there's nothing else.

But on my list of priorities, it’s below the Brewers and Badger basketball.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

Thats a rec

Football is just something to pass the time between the end of The World Series and pitchers and catchers reporting…..

A little crazy the way its covered in the local media. I doubt that residents of Wisconsin are aware that there was a revolution in Egypt last week.

That's another rec

The main reason I don’t watch football because I became so annoyed by how overboard the media goes with its football coverage. But then again, they go overboard with everything.

My goodness.

Football is great live, but fantastic with a TiVo

Skipping the time between plays – it’s almost always exactly 30 seconds so the 30-second skip “undocumented feature” on TiVo means you can watch and entire game in around 45 minutes. I don’t have to watch commercials, I don’t have to listen to the inane chatter of the announcers and It’s practically non-stop action. If anyone’s watched the compress MLB games on MLB.TV, you’ll know what I mean.

Even my wife will watch football games when TiVo’d.

Recorded games are great for skipping commercials, but I don't skip the time between plays.

But then again I like to think about the plays that I would call, look at coverages and formations, and watch line play. That is why I like the replays.

Packers are in the super bowl?….wow I wish the local news would have told me over and over and over and over and over and over for 2 weeks

by onbeer8 on Feb 6, 2011 1:35 PM CST via mobile reply actions

Funnily enough, my local news hasn't mentioned it at all

OK, so I live in the middle of Scotland, but considering one of the main stories in the local news is that a man got caught driving while drunk it wouldn’t surprise me if they’d tried to find a tenuous link to the Superbowl to try to fill up their news quota. Mind you, the Superbowl is on again on BBC1 (about the third year in a row) and it seems there’s miles more coverage than previously…

Packers are going to destroy Pittsburgh and their quarterback, Ben Kerwin.

Ryan Braun: He loves it. -- Four pitchers in history with 8.5+ WAR and <250 IP seasons: Greg Maddux (age 29), Pedro Martinez (age 28), Roger Clemens (age 27), Zack Greinke (age 25).

I never knew Ben Kerwin played 2 sports professionally

That’s officially 2 sports more than Kendall has managed to play for a few years…

Well, it will be a good year in Wisconsin if the Brewers make the postseason and the Badgers make a deep run

I'm a little drunk.

More than a little, I think, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.

Baseball was my first love, with football a close second. But the economic structure of the NFL is such that I love that league more than I love the MLB. The Packers have enough resources to put together a dynasty built around the roster they have now. If they don’t, it won’t be because they can’t afford to keep or acquire the right players. It’ll be because they made mistakes and acquired or kept the wrong ones.

The Brewers, if they’re lucky enough to win a title this year (and it appears to my non-expert eyes to be a possibility) have no chance at a dynasty because in the next two years they’ll lose Fielder, Grienke and it looks like Weeks as well. Not because they want to. Not because they’re mis-valuating their talent or because their front office is bad, but because the structure of the league (economically) leaves teams like Milwaukee with no opportunity to keep and acquire the best players.

That’s why I love baseball, but I hate the MLB.

PS: Fuck the Cards, the Vikings, the Bears and the Cubs.

This drunken rant is brought to you by the Green Bay Packers and various products of New Glarus and (most recently) GlenFiddich.

I’ve got to be up teaching cops stuff in like 8 hours. I’m not going to be worth a shit.

So long BCB.

I read that in a drunk voice

and agree with everything that I read in that drunk voice.

BTW – have you tried the NG Apple Ale yet?? Great dessert beer. Still not as good as the Cherry Stout though.

by Saberilliterate on Feb 7, 2011 6:36 AM CST up reply actions

I agree with most

But I want to say that Ted Thompson is also running his club from the draft and in the framework / system that the NFL has. Instead of going out and buying high priced FA, he’s doing it the ‘right’ way (IMO) by focusing on player scouting instead of the biggest fish in the pond.

by SgtClueLs on Feb 7, 2011 9:08 AM CST up reply actions

Eh, I think it always has to be a mix

Woodson was a big free agent signing, I think the biggest money deal given out that offseason.

Football and baseball are completely seperate when it comes to the draft

In baseball you might never see half of the guys you draft, and even the big prospects take 1-4 years to get to the big leagues. In football they’re right there fighting for a roster spot from the beginning. Most make the team, others make the practice squad which is the equivalent to being in AAA, one call away from the big show.

Not saying you can’t draft and develop in both sports, just saying in baseball it takes about 5-8 years of good drafts. We saw it (and are kind of still seeing it) right now with the Brewers. We waited and waited and waited for Weeks, Fielder, Braun, etc so we could have success.

And they're completely different in the way they share broadcast revenues

That’s the whole problem in a nutshell.
