i'll take a stab in the dark and say that jet lag may be more of a factor in the NFL, where travel is not quite as frequent. in baseball, you usually travel so much that your body doesnt have time to get used to a particular time zone.
who's got a BP writers email addy handy....id like to see a study of MLB players on the first 1-3 days after leaving an extended homestand (10+ days) and heading to the other side of the country.
