The 99 reasons
My favorite weekend on the sports calendar arrives this Saturday. It's the weekend wedged between the one with the two NFL conference championships and the one that hosts the Super Bowl. Nothing will be happening on the football front Saturday or Sunday. The off-weekend only exists to make possible another seven days in which to hype the big game.In commemoration of this scheduling spectacular, here's a link to Thomas Boswell's Washington Post classic "Why is Baseball So Much Better Than Football?", exactly twenty years old last Thursday. Some of it is outdated (#44 is downright tragic), but most of the references are adaptable, and the major point arrives home safely (pun intended).
