What about NASCAR? Have you seen the prices of those tickets? And the crowd that's in the infield? With their 100K RV's?

Or are you excluding NASCAR from your list of "sports"? Can't argue there.

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.
