Care to make a wager on the Reds winning the Wildcard? I dont think they will. While I can understand real NFL games taking over the highlights of Sports Center, preseason games are awfully meaningless and shouldnt upend high quality tennis, its a freaking major tournament. I am not surprised that 72% of people could care less about tennis. Makes no difference to me. So glad I am not one of those grown men who wear football jerseys out in public and spend 7 hours on Sunday watching football in a sports bar.

Cmmon Euro. Surely your Reds can win the wildcard. Why dont you parlay some of this weekend's winnings into more with a bet with your pal Gander? Hmmm? I say no way do they win the wildcard.

While you are correct, preseason means nothing, but the return of Palmer was highly anticipated. Us NFL fans are fiending for the season to start, so any type of live football is big. Lots of fantasy football fanatics, such myself, needed to see him go out a perform. I didn't get to see the game, but from what I hear, he was lights out.

Yeah, we have a Sunday Football party each Sunday. About 16 people come over. Most are Colts fan and there are a few Titans fans and a few Bengal fans. We cook out and have some fun. The kids play football and it is a good time. But I couldnt see spending 7 hours in a bar watching TV. That would be awful.

Tennis doesnt matter. It is like hockey. No one cares. ESPN only shows the sport people care about. Notice that this year Tour de France was always one of the last segments and years past it was always the first. Well that is because people care about Lance. People really dont care about Agassi.
