Doing a compare and contrast essay on MLB/NFL

[Brees#1]

Here's what I got so far. NFL is faster paced, NFL teams have more chances to keep a drive alive than MLB teams do an inning, MLB teams play more days per week, MLB is mostly cable while NFL is mostly national broadcast or on local affiliates. I need a fifth point. Obviously parity would be one but recently MLB's been better and last year because Manning retiring and Denver, Cincy, Carolina, and Arizona all missed playoffs there was more parity in NFL.

How about "Football is a sport and baseball is a game"?

Baseball is a sport.

With few exceptions, all player contracts in MLB are guaranteed.

The better team in MLB wins less often than their NFL counterparts. This means more variance and deviation from median total talent levels. Or as some might call it- parity; a term you'll want to define carefully.

Player pool is mostly different. MLB draws internationally with a non-uniform draft; Japan, Cuba, Dominican Republic, etc. With the exception of Canada, the NFL almost exclusively draws from the United States and in a uniform draft.

Nothing else?

Look on YouTube for the George Carlin bit comparing football and baseball. It may help you find that fifth point, and if not it will at least make you laugh.

I watch football and get amped up, I watch baseball when I can't sleep zzzzzzz. Football your teammates applaud you when you knock a guy on his ass, baseball your teammates and coaches applaud you with a pat on your ass

Football: You can do whatever you want when you are on offense
Baseball: You try to do what you want on offense

Football: There are set plays every single play
Baseball: There are few set plays, mostly improvised shit

Football: Quarterback has more than 2-3 seconds to make decision
Baseball: Batter has less than half a second to make a decision

Football: Can run out the clock
Baseball: better get 27 fuckin outs

Football: can end in a tie
Baseball: can't end in a tie (very few exceptions)

Football: CTE is the worst
Baseball: TJ surgery is arguably the worst

 

[Brees#1]

Less than half a second to make a decision but more than one chance to get a single

 

[Brees#1]

What? That was lame.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

What? That was lame.

Better then what you got on the subject.

 

[NEhomer]

Baseball would be more like football if there was one pitch. 3 & 2 every time a player steps up.

It would also be more like football if it was more exciting.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Cause baseball is a complete bore. I went to the 93 WS game 5, I think the score was like 13 to 11 and I was still bored.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

What? That was lame.

What????? That summed it up perfectly.

 

[broncosmitty]

Had it copied and ready.

 

[broncosmitty]

What? That was lame.

I hope you get a D-.

 

[jwolt92]

Won't get a single baseball supporter in the "NFL Forum." I'm a fan of both sports, but you can't expect an unbiased opinion in a forum dedicated to a sport compared to another.

 

[Brees#1]

I hope you get a D-.

I have gotten a A on everything so far. A B on one test. The only time I got anything under 88 was once. I got all As on my history essay and had a 98 average accumulate score in psychology. Ntm I moved out of math courses way early.

I hope you get a D-.

Is that supposed to be Rodgers sucking a ?
