Well, what is it?

For me MLB, followed by NFL.

P.S.: Maybe some mod (KATMAI?) could change the second MLB to MLS?

I go NFL first followed by MLB.

The NHL is mismanaged, the NBA is crap, and MLS is still too small time.

You were smart not to include the MLS. Because anybody thinking that would be a fucking moron.

As for my vote, NFL.

The NFL, in any way I could describe "best."

It is the most profitable, most interesting, most watched and has the best format.  16 games, one each week; every game is so important that fans go from wanting to jump off buildings to wanting to throw a parade on a weekly basis.  The play-offs are great, one game elimination with the Super Big Game at the end.

The only things that mar the league:

The Pro Bowl
Two week before the Super Big Game
The Raiders
The Vikings

MLB is close but I don't like the playoff format.  They play 162 games in ~180 days; you have to have 5 starting pitchers and a good deep bullpen.  When the playoffs roll around they play 3 games a week; you can win with 3 starters and a middle reliever and a closer.  They should make the playoff rounds best of 11 and play every day.

This.  The playoffs are a big stain on MLB.  It should be like the old days with just the League Championship and the World Series.

NFL is first by a country mile.  MLB edges out NBA for second.
