Baseball has often been called “America’s Pastime” but I often say it’s “past it’s time.” Conversely, Football is America’s passion and there’s no denying it, just look at the tv ratings, not only for the Super Bowl, but week in, week out in the NFL and college football. Heck, go look at ratings for mid-level bowl games like The Independence Bowl which does better TV ratings than some MLB and NBA Playoff games.
Nonetheless, as the NFL descends upon Indianapolis this week, and the NFL Network broadcasts wall-to-wall coverage, we’ll be fooled into thinking the annual college scouting combine is the be-all and end-all when it comes to determining who’s going to be the next franchise savior…it’s not.
