If football were more like baseball...

If football were more like baseball -

 

- the defense would get to take on offensive players one at a time.

 

- the coaches would be standing on the sidelines in tights, no matter how fat they are.

 

- the quarterback would play until early in the second half, at which point he'd be relieved by another player. Then he'd be off for the next five weeks.

 

- you'd be able to play twice a day even if you weren't in very good shape, despite the fact that everyone plays both offense and defense.

 

- if you ran into another player, everyone of both teams would become very angry.

 

- play stops when the weather is less than perfect. No problem. If you can't play today, you're welcome to come back and play some other day. We'll have some chips and dip ready.

 

- every field would have a unique size and shape. If your stadium has a bigger end zone, the number of touchdowns you score will count just as much as in any other stadium.

 

- the quarterback could take as long as he wanted to take the snap. He could stand in the pocket chewing tobacco and scratching his crotch for five or six minutes, and no one would find it unusual.

 

- if the quaterback performs poorly, the coach will take a leisurely stroll out onto the field to have a fatherly chat with him. One or more teammates may join in. Even the refs are invited.

 

- someone on the sidelines will keep track of every mistake your team makes, and in fifty years, people will still care about how many there were.

 

- Ben Gay would be less important than Preparation H.
