I say its opening Sunday in da NFL.

U get every team playing w/o byes & bad records except 4 the novelty Thursday night game which is the equivalent 2 premature ejaculation.

Nobody knows what to expect on week 1 in da NFL=Irresistable!

In MLB u can just look @ the starting 5 pitchers on each team & virtually know who is going 2 suck. Same in the NBA & NHL.

Superbowl Sunday only involves 2 teams out of 30. No way was the Giants-Patriots more intriguing to the entire country than week 1 when everyone in the nation has a perfect record & only 16 games to work with.

In the MLB there is 162 long arse seasonal games which means opening day, etc. is meaningless until playoffs.

Opening day in the NBA is whatever, the playoffs are 7 games series instead of one & done like the NFL. Next.

NHL has outstanding playoffs, but no ONE day on the NHL calendar is better than OPENING SUNDAY in da NFL.

The World Series is 7 games, even a sweep is 4 games. I am looking for ONE day on the calendar, not a series.

NCAAB/NCAAF championship games are amateurs no matter how you want to look at it thru love of college lenses.

Give me opening day on Sunday NFL=Heaven.

"U get every team playing w/o byes & bad records except 4 the novelty Thursday night game which is the equivalent 2 premature ejaculation."

This was my statement that covers the Thurs night games. If u think NFL fans of teams that play on Mon night week 1 arent drooling to c how the competition is going to play on the day b4, then you r a teenager.

Trade deadline in the MLB? Are u serious? Only a few teams @ best actually act on the trade deadline. The Dodgers did getting Manny Ramirez. Considering they r still 2 games back in the NL West its no guarantee they will even mean playoffs. The D-Backs got Adam Dunn. Once again, Dunn was shjt for the Reds unless u love strikeouts so they shipped him west for good reason. The Brewers got CC Sabathia, which has worked out beyond money, but how many people in AMERICA were waiting on pins and needles on July 31st for that deal to go down vs. America in early September when a MAJORITY of NFL teams kick off?

A MAJORITY of MLB teams make ZERO deals at the trade deadline because A)Happy with team B) Out of the race.

Every team in NFL who starts 0-0 has a 16 game NFL dream. What other sport can say this on opening day? None.

"There isnt pitchers in the NBA and NHL."

Really, cuz I coulda swore that guy w/ the hockey mask threw a mean curveball.

Dude, if u think the MLB trade deadline is the BEST day of the sports year, u r dizzy. I told u the moves that were made in my 2nd argument on the trade deadline & NONE of them were as compelling as when the NFL kicks off its 1st week in early September.

"You do know that 2 games is a very slim division league. That can be tied in 2 DAYS."

A lead in a division can be tied in 2 days WITHOUT having picked up a player at the trading deadline. Why you think this date is more important than the NBA or NFL drafts boggles my mind, let alone thinking its more important than 2 two weeks from now when your Ravens get their arses handed to them in week 1.

"Adam Dunn leads the NL in HRs and is 1 behind the MLB lead."

Wow, sure am glad I stayed up till 12am 2 make sure the D-Backs got Adam Dunn before the T-deadline. Now I can afford 2 sleep in till Mon. on kickoff NFL Sunday. NOT!

"You can always, always, always, ALWAYS improve your team. Your team is never perfect."

Keep saying always while I keep saying whatever!
