So question to all the utah fans

I don't watch either sport, but I suppose NFL would be better. At least I can see myself watching a game of football with friends. But baseball? No thanks.
 
Baseball is what they used before they had anasthesia for sugery. Watch one inning you are fast asleep. After 3 or 4, catatonic. So I guess I would vote for football. At least with football there is about a minute of some kind of action for every 4 or 5 minutes of game watching time.

I once watched a baseball game where the pitcher spent probably an hour looking from home plate to first base and back again, then when he was ready to pitch the batter called time out to hit his shoes about 50 times and spit roughly a gallon of tobacco juice on the baseline...I think he was setting a trap. Then he stepped back in the batter's box and the pitcher threw the ball to first base where the runner had apparently fallen asleep, complete with a pillow. The first baseman swiped at the sleeping runner then tossed the ball back to the pitcher who then looked back and forth from home plate to first base again for about 15 minutes. By then the groundskeepers were mowing the lawn because it was starting to get pretty long, so the pitcher called time out to confer with the catcher and a coach in the middle of the infield. The umpire ran out of weed for his bong so he told them to get moving, so the pitcher tossed the ball to first base again where the sleeping runner was drooling on the base. The first baseman threw the ball back to the pitcher who then bent over and stared at the catcher for maybe 10 minutes, shaking his head slightly from time to time. He then reared back and threw the ball right into the dirt at the catchers feet, getting the plate dirty and the shoes of the batter. The ump called time to clean off the plate with a little shaving brush and the batter I think went pee and changed his shoes. The outfielders were chasing butterflies and the runner on first woke up and was brushing his teeth when they finally threw the second pitch, which the batter hit. It was a ground ball to the shortstop who tossed it to the second baseman who then threw to first for the double-play.

2 outs, one to go, first inning, third day.

Wow is baseball ever fun to watch!!
 
Baseball. Watching football live is too hard to follow what's going on, no replay, it's likely colder than a well diggers ***, and it's only once a week. Baseball on the other hand has a ton of games, you can see everything on the field, it's spring and summer so you can wear what you want, and it's a lot more family friendly.
 
NFL. We already have the Bees, which seems no more or less exciting than MLB...which is to say it isn't exciting at all.
 
NFL would be better all around. But what would we be? The Salt Lake Pioneers? The Utah Vicious Mormons?

Naturally, I'm going to disagree with Trout. However, not because I want to. It's just that the laws of nature prohibit me from agreeing with him, on anything. Actually, Trout makes a pretty good argument, but there's one big thing he's missing: The NFL easily provides a better product. Even if the Utah team sucked, each and every home game some of the most amazing players in the world would be playing in Utah.

And unlike Trout, I like the fact that it's only once a week. It makes it more of an event. For those of you who have never tailgated at an NFL game, put it on your bucket list. Many times, it's just as fun as the game itself. Yes, baseball does play many more games and it's usually nicer weather, but in all honesty, who cares about a day game in the middle of the week during August when it's 100+ outside?
 
Baseball is way too watered down. I would literally shove an ice pick into my ear if I tried to follow a team through 180+ regular season games. I go to three or four Bees games a year and that is enough. But I could very easily hold season tickets to the NFL. I disagree with Trout saying it's too hard to follow in person. I have no trouble following most plays when I'm live at a game. I took my three year old son to the BYU game on Saturday and had no trouble keeping him from kicking the people in front of him and still following 90% of the plays. The action and potential for big plays every time the ball is snapped can't be matched by baseball.
