And that’s the structure of football. The commentators try to predict the play, the play happens, they analyze the play. And it’s the only sport out there that really does that.

Baseball has been known for it since the first radio broadcast. The pace of the game makes it ideal for it.

That's the dirty little secret that football fans hate to admit: This "exciting" game has the same leisurely pace as baseball.

It’s not the same for baseball. Nobody shows blitz in baseball. There’s not nearly as much prediction.

Notice baseball fixed the game by borrowing from football. Pitch clock, finally.
