Greg, stop trying to make YouTube videos happen. It's not going to happen.

But, yeah, baseball is boring as shit. Its popularity only persisted for so long because there weren't entertainment alternatives, and baseball just slightly beats out staring at a wall. The Cubs circa 2003 was the only club I remotely enjoyed watching.

Baseball's issue is you have too much of a haves vs have-nots in terms of the teams.

Yankees, Red Sox have these MONSTER payrolls and are consistently in playoff hunts/in the playoffs (Astros recently as well the cheating fucks). Then on the NL side you have teams that are consistently good like the Cards, the Nats who just won their first World Series, and like the Giants even though the Giants are in a re-build.

Then you have a bunch of gong-show goat rodeo dumpster fires for the rest of the league that once in awhile pop up to relevance (Blue Jays, Brewers come to mind)

Also, I used to play baseball and I don't find it boring. BUT THAT SAID... NBA games last what? 2 ish hours usually and you can get really good deals for mid week tickets. NHL games are about that as well if not even shorter plus there is the violence of the hits in NHL and tickets outside of playoff times are almost dirt cheap. And the NFL yeah has long 2-2.5 hour games but barring Thursday and Monday night they're weekend games and bossees don't care if you're hungover on a Friday. Tuesday they might care.

Baseball though? If I had a major league team in my city and I wanted to catch a game you need like FOUR FUCKING HOURS set aside for it.
 
Maybe it’s because of my age but Magic and Bird’s 32 and 33 respectively are way more iconic than any other basketball players after Jordan. In part because Kobe and LeBron both wore multiple numbers. But in basketball it goes Jordan, then Bird/Magic imo.

Btw, there was a ESPN front page picture of the Phillies celebrating an NLCS win back around 2007 that is one of the GOAT inadvertently explicit sports photos of all-time. Can't find it anywhere, but it depicted a black player (Jimmy Rollins IIRC) just taking a thick white load on his face.
 
1. Wilt Chamberlain -13
2. Brian Dawkins - 20
3. Mike Schmidt - 20
4. Steve Carlton - 32
5. Allen Iverson - 3
6. Reggie White - 92
7. Ryan Howard / Doctor J - 6
8. Chase Utley - 26
9. Randall Cunningham - 12
10. Cole Hamels - 35

It's probably my age but I can't think of Jordan and his 23 without ALSO thinking of Pippen with his 33 and Rodman with 91.

There's also Kemp and Payton for me too given I'm from Washington.

What about Durant? Hasn't he worn 35 at all his stops?

Forbes and MarketWatch are not mainstream? Oh.

Also not sure why you're going on an ape rampage about cultists. No one mentioned them. Stay on topic.

Cult boy hates being called a cultist, go figure lmao.

And if you think Forbes Contributors are mainstream, I guess that explains why you're dumb enough to still be pushing crypto. Your brain no work too good.

This is like when the ACR, SCAR, and ARAK were all the rage in the gun community.

What's your evidence I'm a crypto cultist, Mr. False? Looks to me like you just made that up! Silly guy.

Well let's start with the completely unfounded belief that crypto is going to unseat fiat currency, the continuing delusion that crypto has even a marginal mainstream use case for 99% of America, and then let's cap it with the fact that you're a moron.

I mean, seems pretty clear to me.

The A's have won 194 games the last two years with a really low payroll. The Astros built their superteam with drafting and player development (and sucking for a while, allowing them to get a bunch of high draft picks). Baseball is the best sport to watch and follow.

Indisputable ranking of most iconic jersey numbers in sports history:

1. Michael Jordan - 23
2. Brett Favre - 4
3. Dale Earnhardt - 3
4. Jackie Robinson - 42
5. Wayne Gretzky - 99
6. Dennis Rodman - 91
7. Emmitt Smith - 22
8. Michael Vick - 7
9. Tom Brady/Aaron Rodgers - 12
10. Babe Ruth - 3

And, yes, it's very arguable that racing is not a sport, but the Earnhardt 3 is still extremely iconic.

Durant made a fake twitter account to defend himself from haters.

He belongs on no lists besides most bitchmade superstars

LOL wut? I hope he blows out his other Achilles now fucking Christ. I know it was rumored that AB did the same thing recently.

Interesting. I've never heard of the No. 1 NFL guy (Mahomes?).

He blew up last season for the Chiefs.

Might have the best arm on a QB in NFL history and he has speed as well.

I have no idea who Jose Altuve is lol. Kind of surprised Trout is not in the top 10
