The NFL had a great idea: Throw a giant party to open up the football season. The party was in New York, as was the game, and there were a lot of people there. The only downside is that Bon Jovi was there.
But think about this now. Could you imagine baseball throwing a party before the Sunday night game that starts the season in April? Can you see ESPN covering it? I can't either. Football's become so much more popular than baseball, that it's assumed MLB's place as the national pastime.
(On the downside, I have to deal with Yinzers decked out in black and gold for the next 20 weeks or so. Goes with the territory, I guess.)
