It was based on the fans knowing that the players were giving their all and the excitement generated brought them back.
TV ratings, fiddlesticks, I never get asked by any TV polling person what I watch. Thank goodness there are options out there besides ESPN, I do not need them telling me what it is I should be watching.
As far as excitement goes since I am limited to your choices, there cannot be a bigger more exciting game then football. I say as an objective observer. I cannot deny the amount of people who watch and follow the game and the massive amount of coverage the game receives. I don't know enough about basketball to comment and baseball well, a few good pieces of drama in an otherwise dull and laboriously long season does not fuel the old excit-o-meter in my book.

Then you my friend are not a true fan. Sure it is dull. Remember that I am taking this from my point of view (my rant). I follow baseball more than I do, but I am sure that is biased because of the team that I follow, and have since I was 7 years old. Maybe its because Bonds is in the lime light all the time
Each pitch can be exciting, you never know what is going to happen next. Football has its predictable situations!
