So my question is: If October is so synonymous with the MLB, why are fewer and fewer people watching?

Americans are starting to become one-trick ponies. It seems as though it's football or nothing. It will be very interesting to see what happens next October with the NFL lockout looming.

Family mourns killed videographer
BUFFALO GROVE, III. — Hundreds celebrated the short, bright life of Declan Drumm Sullivan with Irish song and Catholic tradition Monday, five days after the 20-year-old died while videotaping a Notre Dame University football practice.

Family members "have let go of fear and anger and emotions", said Sullivan's uncle, Michael Miley, who described the theme of the funeral service as one of
"It was beautiful and soaring." he said.
Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly and two busloads of college students attended the funeral at St. Mary Church in Buffalo Grove, where Sullivan had gone to school as a child. He graduated from Carmel High School in Mundelein, Ill., which also sent a bus filled with students to the standing-room-only service.

Speakers included Sullivan's sister, a Notre Dame student
Miley said. The funeral also featured a choir and Irish performances, said Miley, the family spokesman.
"We hope over the next few days, weeks and months that people in the community will heal as we are beginning to do." Miley said.
Sullivan, of Long Grove, Ill., was in an aerial scissor lift recording video footage of a football practice during a strong wind advisory when the lift toppled onto the street.
Indiana's Occupational Safety
and Health Administration said the death has been classified as a workplace fatality. Investigators will look into whether the lift was being operated safely, including whether it should have been used in 33-mph winds with gusts of 51 mph, officials have said.
Sullivan, a junior with a double major in marketing and film, enjoyed writing music reviews for Notre Dame's student newspaper. On Wednesday, he was working for the university's athletic department when taping the football practice.

Vikings release Moss after just four games
If the trade last month that sent Randy Moss from the Patriots to the Vikings wasn't a big enough shock, how about the Vikings releasing the mercurial wide receiver after just four games?
games.
Vikings coach Brad Childress informed his players Monday morning at a team meeting that Moss would not remain with the team. An NFL source said Monday that Moss had not been placed on waivers, but the transaction was expected to happen Tuesday. Teams would then have 24 hours to put in a claim for Moss. He would be awarded to the team with the worst record that put in a claim.
The decision to release Moss came a day after the Vikings lost to the Patriots, 28-18, in Foxboro. After the game, Moss delivered a rambling five-minute monologue in which he heaped lavish praise on the Patriots organization.
"I miss them guys, man. I miss the game," he said of the Patriots, who traded Moss for a third-round pick in 2011. "It was hard for me to come here and play. Been an up-and-down roller coaster emotionally all week. And then to be able to come in here and see those guys running plays that I know what they're doing, and the success they had on the field, the running game so I kind of know what kind of feeling they have in their locker room, man, and I just want to be able to tell the guys that I miss the hell out of them. Every last helmet in that locker room, man."
Patriots coach Bill Belichick declined to say whether he would put in a claim for Moss, or whether hed sign him as a free agent if Moss went unclaimed and cleared waivers.
players in the league or any other transactions or anything like that," Belichick said. Asked hypothetically if Moss cleared waivers, Belichick replied, "If the moon were made of Swiss cheese ... You know I can't comment."
"You know I can't comment on the status of any of the other
The Vikings lost three of the four games in which Moss played. He had only one catch for 8 yards against the Patriots. In his four games, he had only 13 catches for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Before being traded, Vikings quarterback Brett Favre had lobbied the team to acquire Moss.
Moss never turned into the deep threat the Vikings had envisioned. His longest catch went for 37 yards.
Childress didn't tell reporters about the move when he met with the media Monday morning. Asked whether he regretted making the trade for Moss, Childress said "not at present."
"I'm definitely down that we lost this game. I didn't expect wed lose this game." Moss said Sunday. "I don't know how many more times I'll be in New England again. But I leave coach Belichick and those guys with a salute: 'I love you guys. I miss you. You out.'"
Childress said he didn't see Moss' remarks as "incendiary." The closest he came to criticizing him was when he admitted Moss could have caught a pass that fell incomplete in the end zone. The Patriots were called for pass interference on the play.
"But again, I don't know," Childress said. "He was restricted. If they called pass interference, there had to be some kind of restriction."
Asked whether he thought Moss had been playing hard, Childress said, "He's playing hard when he needs to play hard."
