Like sloppy joes and root beer football is only popular in the United States, and especially in backwaters.

Dan Brown, as in the author of the Da Vinci Code? I admit, I was mildly entertained by that book. After reading Angels & Demons, I wanted to send him a bill for my time, I was so irritated.
No, I'm not a Dan Brown fan.
Referring to worldwide acclaim in this debate is pretty silly. It's American dollars driving both sports, so regardless of the assiness-level of the common man, the fact remains that football is a FAR greater than basketball in all but one thing: Postseason.
And, my claim that a football tourney in Dec/Jan would surpass the NCAA bball bracket is true. |
