"football sucks"

I would watch more football if they got rid of the players, the game, and just put #4 out on the field in game-like conditions!

On football card collecting:
I do collect these also, though far more sparingly. In fact, my most valuable card is a football card (a very high-end Walter Payton rookie)

On the relative popularity of collecting football personalities:
I think this is still developing because of reasons cited in earlier posts, but also because these guys wear helmets and you can't see close-up photos of their faces while in action. I think this matters because people(fans) have an interest in seeing how difficult or fun a sporting action is...the grimace when a player gets hit with a pitch, slides into second headfirst, eyes popped wide open while trying to hit a ball, the pitcher's stare down into the catcher's signs, etc...A player's face is actually what alot of fans use to identify with while watching an event, baseball or otherwise...don't you catch yourself wondering what the first baseman is saying to the newly-arrived baserunner after a single that has them both laughing so hard???
It's like if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it...if guys are laughing on the football field, it's a secret....

Just a thought...
