16 Reasons Why the Tour de France is Better than the Super Bowl:

1. The tailgate party last a month. (RhumChum's personal favorite)
2. Admission is free.
3. More than 12 million people watch some part of the Tour in person, compared to roughtly 80,000 who get to go to the Super Bowl.
4. Bike shorts are sexier than football pants.
5. The food is better.
6. So is the scenery.
7. Lance Armstrong is tougher than any football player.
8. So is Tyler Hamilton.
9. Men and thier machines - no padding.
10. And you're only inches from the action.
11. Absolutely no Astroturf.
12. Or end zone shenanigans.
13. More struggle, more pain, more drama.
14. The fans are crazier (and once you watch the Tour, you'll be one of them).
15. More Americans are kicking more butt in it every year.
16. Fewer big foam fingers.

Two reasons why football is better... Tom Brady and tight pants! (I really am a football fan though..!)

You MUST be kidding...nothing is better than the Super Bowl...even if it is the damned Pats

WOW! I like that list...though I am a big NFL fan, Cycling is a huge part of my life. Though you need to delete the Tyler Hamilton entry. He dropped out today, but rode the entire tour last year with a broken collar bone

Damn Texans

I resemble that remark.

Ahhh yes, football's just around the corner. Happy Times. My Giants should be interesting this year with Warner and Eli. I've already joined 4 fantasy football leagues and I feel I need to be stopped.

Wake me when it's ALL over

It's easy to be in that many fooball leagues 'cause you only have to set it once a week. It's tough with baseball, hockey and bball. Too many games each week. I'll have plenty of time for you. Don't you worry.

Ok, just making sure...

4 reasons why the Superbowl is better than the Tour de France (it's Sunday morning, I'm not thinking too hard today)

The Superbowl has better commercials
NFL teams have better looking cheerleaders
A hangover the day after Superbowl is understandable, every morning after the Tour de France - you're fired
No Lance Armstrong

Congrats to Lance and all, but how many of you have gathered around the water cooler to discuss the last leg of the Tour De France?

No Cheerleaders or Beer Commecials and no bantering with opposing team fans!!!

Most football fans are drunk 24/7 anyway.

Is anyone starting a BN fantasy football league? I know that it was done with baseball, but I joined too late. I would but I don't know how to start one....

Yahoo has pretty good free ones. Most of my leagues are done through Yahoo. CBSSportsline is also a good site.

So anyone interested???

I would participate in a BN fantasy football league.

Also, cycling v. football? I would rather watch a preseason NFL game than the Tour.


How bout them Cowboys!!
