I swear...

Read these ten:

You have GOT...to be kidding me.

Weren't half of these 10 baseball related? Two were golf? The two more boring- yet strategic - sports in the world? One was hockey (granted it was second overall, but still)?!

I, for one, like the end zone antics. I think it adds to the fun the fans -especially sitting closer -have as well as the originality and creativity of the NFL players themselves. As a matter of fact, few will likely remember the final score, but will remember T.O. grabbing the cellphone out of his sock and acting like he was calling someone who cared. Hilarious. (Admit it: Do you remember the final score of that game? Do you remember who even won that game?)

How about watching any NHL team (with the exception of the New York Rangers) hoist the Stanley Cup? (Note that one never "lifts" the Stanley Cup; it is always "hoisted" mind you.)

Nothing about the pizazz of a Los Angeles Lakers fast break from the 80s?

The riveting, thunderous sound or recklessly dangerous speed of a NASCAR event?

Little League I can see, but how about being there when your son (or daughter) catches their first fish? For that matter, how about throwing the baseball around- glove to glove -with one's son (or daughter) in the back yard after work that day as the sun sets?

Michael Phelps was impressive to say the least, but how about Lance Armstrong ? The man had cancer. CANCER. How quickly we forget.

It's now past midnight. I am going to bed and will reconvene (i.e. attack) this ridiculous article tomorrow morning. If I feel like it. -Eric Eswein

Baseball should be the entire top ten 10. It is the most beautiful thing in the world!
