Professional football is the most violent thing your eyes have ever seen.

Football can stand parity better than any of the other sports, I think. Baseball, basketball and hockey need a defining team, in essence to frame the season. Football? Not so much.

God, I'm glad I grew up in a time when kids followed sports in the newspaper and on TV and knew every sport.

The great thing about media now is that you have 360 degrees worth of opinions and can find whatever you want and tune out whatever you want.

Somebody once told me that whatever you're listening to at 30 years old is going to be what you listen to for life and that's largely true.

I'm 52 years old, which means I'm of an age where my reading habits are more or less set. I read plenty of stuff on line but I rely on pretty traditional sources. I'm a newspaper reader, whether in hand or on my iPad.

Baseball should adopt replay, plain and simple. If we can see it at home or on hand-held PDAs, the technology should be used in games.
