Why baseball is improving and the NFL is getting worse
Last night and this week said so much about why MLB leadership is kicking NFL leadership's ass.

To the NFL, the Royals would be a super bowl nightmare. Midwest city, not a national presence.

The MLB commissioner had a chance to boost ratings by eliminating defensive shifts. Getting rid of defense creates more offense which gets casual fans excited. He declined. The NFL, on the other hand, has chosen the past few years to emphasize defensive holding to open up an already advantaged passing game.

This defensive approach, by the way, favors small market. While the Yankees were loading up on power and pitching, the Royals countered with defense and bullpen. The Royals, in fact, beat a Blue Jays team that took that exact approach mid-season.

Even in the larger markets, this year FOUR out of eight playoff teams were teams that had a significant playoff drought -- Cubs, Toronto, Houston, Mets.

We saw a banned gambler and a justly punished PED in the studio. The NFL, on the other hand, is considering penalizing Johnny Manziel for an incident in which no charges were pressed and is dealing with a gambling site with integrity issues.


I love the NFL a hell of a lot more than I love MLB. It's just a shame to see the two very different directions the two leagues are moving in.

yup you nailed it

if the Chiefs were allowed to get away with defensive holding they would be in the Super Bowl! DAM YOU ROGER GOODELL FOR NOT LETTING A MIDWEST TEAM HOLD ON DEFENSE

or maybe, just maybe, the Royals have a lot of talent for their respective sport and the Chiefs have none, that might be logical.

There is far more parity in MLB now than in the NFL.

Too bad no one saw the LCS due it being on backwater cable channels that have very little subscribers.

It's almost like MLB is using the rules to control parity.


The NFL may have a cap (lol), but their rules pretty much only allow the "have's" to win consistently.

Baseball is much more of a team game. You can have the best pitcher in baseball but he can only pitch every five games. In baseball if you have a good front office you can build a dynamite team through the draft and there isn't a concrete you must have this to win way to build.

The NFL has become QB and pass centric to the determent of defenses and RBs. The only real big defensive stars are Watt, Sherman, and Revis. Compare that to earlier periods.

The NFL cares only about money, even at the expense of the product. MLB, at least not now, hasn't lose sight of the product.

I've had more fun watching the Royals the last couple years than I've had watching the Chiefs for over a decade. And I'm not even a baseball fan.

There always has been. We just didn't notice it because we sucked and blamed it on imbalance...while the Twins and Indians dominated our division.

Felt like every person I know had the games playing on their TV. I don't think any of us had to subscribe to anything special.

Of course it doesn't help that the Chiefs are a dumpster fire and the Royals are the complete opposite.

Kansas City has flipped the royals switch

The Chiefs are the financial victims of the royals success

I went to Target and Home Depot this morning because I'm married and was surprised by the number of randos that commented to me how exciting that 9th inning was last night. I wouldn't figure anyone outside of KC, Toronto, and New York would be watching on a Friday night, especially after a rain delay.
