Comments on: And, in conclusion, the end (at least around here) http://bountybowl.com/2009/03/01/and-in-conclusion-the-end-at-least-around-here/ What Would Buddy Do?

Bounty Bowler, I will not admit that baseball is inferior to football, because that is what you are leading to. Baseball, most certainly isn't football. Two different sports with two different dynamics and approaches. Besides, there's something about this team (the Phils managed by the incomparable, Uncle Cholly) that captures the imagination...something that this Andy Reid coached team fails to do in measure. Plus, the majority of football fans are simply uneducated heathens with no real concept of what a good football team looks like. It is much more difficult to say that of baseball fans. And if it's pagentry that you want, it's difficult to top the bunting hanging from the mezzanine in cool, crisp October air. The NFL has succeeded in overkilling it's marketing endeavors so that pro football now takes on a campy-WWE-like nature. I just don't think this is good for the game. Call me old school, but I miss the days when the most spectacular and electrifying thing about the NFL was Randall Cunningham...not the outside the whistles hype fest propagated by no less than double digit talking heads.

Baseball, most certainly isn’t football. Two different sports with two different dynamics and approaches. Besides, there’s something about this team (the Phils managed by the incomparable, Uncle Cholly) that captures the imagination…something that this Andy Reid coached team fails to do in measure.

You've definitely taken the edge off some of the tough losses, and I hope we'll continue to see your spin on the local blathertariat. Good luck to you and Derek - I think you guys will complement each other well. Gabe, glad to hear we still get to hear from you.
