After the Dubs/LeBron games are over,

after the random hockey final is over.

way before August when the Cowboys start up camp and you hear Chan Gailey or whatever talk about how they're going to contend again this year (!)

...when beisbol and guys eating giant hot dogs and dropping their babies to catch fly balls, is all that's left to watch.

so, enjoy watching the world cup! Go Luis Suarez, punch another guy in the nuts! Go Ronaldo, get another random injury! Go Brazil and all those hot chix in short shorts!~

Dead zone? Random MLB game #5678 is more interesting these days than an entire NBA season.

While I know what you're getting at, baseball plays way too many games. I don't know who can stay engaged for 7 months straight almost EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

They honestly should play on weekends and holidays only, and play everyone in one 3 or 4 game series, 12 team playoffs (give the best four teams a bye, they earned it). Either that or make the playoffs smaller, why play so many games if you let a third of the league in and make the better teams be at the mercy of a hot team's two best starting pitchers?

Some of that is personal preference but they still play way too many games.

My personal favorite idiocy is a 1-game playoff as a tiebreaker, ignoring any and all tiebreakers. Something like that would work better in the NBA or especially the NFL because of fewer games.

It would be if the US hadn't found some way to be eliminated in the qualification stage to a country that is smaller than Houston.

Every day...EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Not in this country, thankfully. In 3rd world shitholes and Eurotrash areas it is overly saturated.

Oh shit, forgot about the US and British Opens, too. For Tennis fans, there's Wimbledon. It's only the "Deadzone of sports" if you're a total plebian.

Yes.

None can compare to the world cup.

Billions excited to watch the second and third worst team in the competition. That passion can only be found in the beautiful game.

I'm in for the World Cup ...
My family is Belizean (I was born here) and yes, it's a "poverty ball" country. I used to hate watching teh game with dads and uncles as a kid like most americans I found it slow and boring.
But once you play yo learn it's not tehre is great skill on the "pitch"
that being said there are countries that are doing better than "U.S." (education, wealth, health etc) that adore the sport as well.
Sure it's a low priority here but it's a damn shame with all the recent progress USMNST had made that we missed qualifying.

I would think the real aMericans here would want us to succeed at a sport in theory we should dominate.
We have more money, resources, world class training but for some reason we never generate players with the passion and creativity of a Ronaldo, messi, Neymar etc.

Would love to live long enough to see the US win a World Cup to beat the world at their "own" sport would be pretty amazing ...(would be more amazing for Belize but my youngest kid won't live long enough for that they never even qualify)
