Thanks for posting this, 2T!

IMHO, Carlin was blasting baseball as game for wimps, so characterizing his analysis as PRO-baseball is in error.

I thought Carlin was actually saying baseball has the better of it. But I suppose anyone can read it any way they wish. That said...

Football is played in any kind of weather: Rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog...can't see the game, don't know if there is a game going on; mud on the field...can't read the uniforms, can't read the yard markers, the struggle will continue!

That was true especially of the 1958 game in which the Giants advanced to the league championship game said to have put the NFL on the nation's map once and for all: it snowed at Yankee Stadium that day and when Pat Summerall kicked the winning field goal, the field was so blanketed that it was almost impossible to tell from where Summerall was kicking. I've seen films of the game over the years and I still don't know where he began!
