For those of us who argue baseball's primacy in the human order of 'sport and leisure,' this weekend is a fine time to remind ourselves of football's actual place at the top of the American sporting landscape. It is hardly a problem: Major League Baseball's record revenues indicate a love of the game, dyed-in-the-national-wool, that won't subside during recessions or after a disappointingly sub par World Series. Football may have just taken over as a dominant example of our country's ethos.For now, enjoy the Super Bowl. We will resume posting (actually posting) shortly.
