And he's a better man for it. Scoreless football is a boring game of punts and field position. Scoreless baseball is a tense, exciting pitchers' (or in this case, bullpens') duel.

Don't get me wrong, I like football. I love my Superbowl-Champion, NFL-consecutive-game-winning-streak-holding, Patriots (gearing up for a battle of undefeateds against the Jets this week). But there is nothing like a great post-season pitching matchup.
I think almost any pro sport is more interesting during the last few rounds of play-off and championship. I don't watch much the rest of the season. Although, I like the occasional football game on Monday evening, between bouts of homework and dishes. Uh... homework help...
