It's very simple: parity.
Look at the last baseball season. In the playoffs were the Yankees, the Rays and the Phillies. And while the Giants, Reds and Rangers were surprises, the cream always seems to rise the top. The same can be said about basketball. Right now, the Lakers and Celtics lead their respective conferences.
But in the NFL, week to week, it's a mystery. It's a mystery how the Patriots can be so bad against a bad Browns team, then come back the very next week and dominate the Steelers. It's a mystery how the Cowboys, the laughing stock of the NFL right now, can go into the New Meadowlands and embarrass the Giants, who were believed to be the top team in the NFC.
These mysteries are why we keep tuning in, jumping and roaring in our living rooms over games that have little bearing on our lives. It's why the NFL is the best league out there ... by far.
