What it would take to elevate to an acceptable level of interest to Mallard is drama or a record-breaking player. I suspect Mallard requires more of the former, and the latter is more what draws in the general sports-apathetic audience (like Michael Phelps managed to make swimming a watched event at the Olympics). <br /><br />But Mallard hates it, so everyone else must. I suspect Nascar is the only thing left on his list as the one true enjoyed American sport, since he hates baseball so much and Obama likes basketball and college football isn't done right.exanonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-20316118647222144432010-07-20T00:17:34.589-07:002010-07-20T00:17:34.589-07:00I think football is way more boring then soccer. ...I think football is way more boring then soccer.
