I read the other day that journeyman receiver Adam Thielen of the Vikings, who has just over 3,000 yards receiving in five seasons in the the NFL, is on pace to have almost 2,000 yards this season and take the number two spot for yards in a single season.

The NFL is broken when the rules are set up to so favor the passing game that a guy like Adam Thielen can do that. It's turning into a video game.

It needs to be a video game in order to attract millennials, who aren’t as interested in rough and tumble old school football as years past.

That’s why the 2007 Patriots and 2013 Broncos did what they did-—score a lot of points.
