Those were the days when players had to get jobs off-season.

That is the truth. Most all of them had a off season job and no one minded it. In fact I remember George Blanda worked for some railroad shipping company and ended up getting his 20 years in for a pension while he was still playing pro ball.

I stopped watching last year with the exception of the Super Bowl, but I probably won't even watch the SB this season.

It's interesting that kapernick's political activism didn't start until after his QB skills diminished and opposing teams figured out how to neutralize him, thereby making him a non-factor. He also grew out the 'fro just to reinforce his "blackness" and to overcompensate for the fact that he is half-white, which requires contrition on his part in order to appease the SJW and BLM crowd.

The NFL doesn't need my viewership or my money. I hope they go the way of the USFL.

What’s funny is that Atlanta’s MLS team might wind up outdrawing the Falcons. They got 70,000+ to attend their game yesterday.

I’ve called sports the same thing and got weird looks.

It was over when the Rams moved to Anaheim back in the mid 80s.

And Roger Staubach has made a lot more money from his Real Estate business than he ever made from playing football.

I went with my wife to visit a friend that’s getting discharged from 2 weeks in hospital.

After that, a thrill ride moving my 65 jeep a few miles. It needs work.

There is some trash to toss, bolts to grind, and Metal to prep and paint.

Very true. A number of the old star players ended up doing well after their careers.

Call your TV provider and ask them to drop ESPN and all its networks.

Can I please have a one day reprieve so I can watch the Broncos?

If you want one day's reprieve, why would you waste it watching the Broncos?

It’s surreal seeing an NFL game being played at a soccer stadium, with the Chargers.

That’s when Georgia Frontiera sabotaged the team and took money from St. Louis to move the franchise and she wasn’t arrested for fraud.
