I wasn't troubled at all -- mainly because I didn't watch it.

NFL football -- particularly nationally televised events -- is nothing more than a high-priced entertainment extravaganza, and has become increasingly dull for serious football fans as the "entertainment" aspect of it becomes more extraneous/ridiculous/etc.

Spike Lee in the booth is no different than Janet Jackson doing a halftime show, which was no different than Terrell Owens and some slutty broad doing a promo for an asinine show like "Desperate Housewives."

Someone like Vince Lombardi would have left football to coach women's volleyball if the NFL had tried to pollute itself this way back in his day.

You're insane. Football has never been better or more popular. The league really made some good decisions with realignment and free agency. These are the NFL's glory days.
