I have to admit that watching games isn't that much fun. I used to love football, I'd watch about four games each week. But Rodger Goodell has decided to strip mine all the fun and excitement out of it. There's a flag on every play because of the obsessive insistence on punishing pass defense and "protecting the quarterback". Who wants to watch a game where the officials decide everything? It's boring. Not to mention that nobody even knows what a catch is anymore, it's all very arbitrary. The officials became the show and the show began to suck.

And then there's all the social justice lefty propaganda they have been forcing down our throats for watching their ever increasingly awful product. Candlelight pre-game shows to fight global warming, pink everywhere, "no means no" ads, black panther halftime shows, and super boring PC super bowl commercials with all the fun stripped out. Kapernick and his followers are just the players taking their cues from the league and stealing their PC lefty spotlight and making it their own PC lefty spotlight. It's just not a fun pastime really.

I no longer watch four or five games a week. Over the past few years I watched my Eagles and maybe one other game, if there was a good one one. Now? I still watch the Eagles. That's it.

“I still watch the Eagles. That’s it. “

Now if you were a REAL patriot you’d watch The Patriots. :-)

Go Pats !

I think oversaturation has become a problem for the NFL, too — at least in terms of year-to-year ratings. It used to be that you’d have regional games on Sunday afternoons, and one nationally televised game on Monday nights. Now you’ve got football all over the TV schedule, and with the NFL Network and the internet you can get your fill of football games and other football-related content 24 hours a day.
