Wake me when somebody gets a concussion. I'll catch it on the jumbotron.*
* I will give it this - its better than regualr season baseball, which I have not viewed since the year the Pirates were beaten by Atlanta in the NL playoffs in 92... or was that 93?

One thing I will never understand is why people - well, Americans, anyway - equate the level of excitement of a sport with how often points are scored. Does this mean that basketball is many many times more exciting than all other sports? Is arena football many times more exciting than regular football. Why is not soccer far more exciting than football and baseball because there is constant action instead of the stop-start-stop-start that occurs all throughout the game.
Not that the reverse situation is not also true. Europeans get bored when NFL games are played in Europe because they are used to seeing highlight reels.
I guess my main point is that Sebastian is a boorish American slob who is too much of a pussy to drink real Scotch.
