There are a number of reasons why the NFL has dominated American sports over the last 20 years. Besides, obviously, the fact that football is more lucrative, it has also seen few steroid scandels, labor dispuits, and, with the nature of the game, a team who is mediocore one year can turn around to be a champion, and vice-versa. But what I think really makes football more exciting than baseball is the 16 game schedule. EVERY game counts in football. Period. With the MLB and NBA there are just so many games in such a long season that it's impossible to really become passionate about all of them, hell, even the players seem half-asleep on the field/court sometimes. Football, however, is full of emotion.

Hey, let's not bring golf down with baseball. The only sporting event I can't wait for besides the football regular season is the Sunday of any Major tournement.
