Baseball v. Football. Football v. Baseball. Every year around the championship game, be it the Super Bowl or the World Series, fans of either sport will opine why one sport is better than the other. I'll settle this once and for all and tell you which sport is the best one.
What's more exciting than a 70-yard pass to a wide receiver? Or a quarterback sneak that ends up with the QB 40 yards downfi...eld? Or a runningback that scrambles and runs for 30 yards seemingly with every defensive player holding him? Or a 45 yard game-winning field goal? Or a lineman's 4th sack of the game? NOTHING that's what!
BUT ... what's better than a pitcher throwing a 97MPH fastball past a power hitter on a 3-2 count with the game on the line? Or a pitcher throwing a perfect game? What's more exciting than an around the horn triple play? Or a batter hitting his 4th homer of the game or a hitter getting his 6th hit of the game? NOTHING that's what!
The answer to the original question is that both sports are awesome and they should NOT be compared to each other.

I have learned
I've learned - that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I've learned - that learning to forgive takes practice.
I've learned - that there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.
I've learned - that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I've learned - that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

Mouth Wide Open
I was riding in my company shuttle the other day and noticed that about a quarter of the people in the shuttle were napping with their mouths half open and started wondering why does this happen? It happens to me too, and I know because, well, because I know.

Megapixels Schmegamixels
People in general have an infatuation with "bigger is better" or "more is better." To boot, I think that when most people think of buying a digital camera the first thing that comes to mind is that "the more megapixels the better the camera."
I happened upon this story on camera quality where a reporter took three identical pictures, one at 5 mp, one at 8, one at 13 and blew them up to 16" x 24" and went to Times Square in NYC and asked passers-by if they could tell the difference between the pictures. Out of dozens of people who stopped by ONLY ONE could tell which was the 13mp picture.
Next time I'm on deck to buy a digital camera I'm sticking with an around 5mp one. Why waste my money?
