The weather on the East Coast sucked. Plus traveling was a nightmare. A daughter coming from VA to Mass took about four hours more than usual on Saturday.

I know everyone wants to blame the players....but it would be a slog to get to most stadiums.

I hope they go belly up soon; and XFL is coming.

And the AAF will be here in 2019. Maybe if both leagues can succeed, they can have their own Super Bowl.

Salary cap for players going up....proves those running the NFL do not even understand the rudiments of profit. Fan base shrinks, give the players more money...a double down on an inevitable financial loss.

55 seasons for me. I’ve probably seen less than 10 full games in my life.

I’m a guy but football does nothing for me. I prefer nascar.

To each his own. Glad you have something you enjoy.

I was a football fanatic until the choreographed celebrations on every routine play became a thing.
Haven’t watched a football game in years. Just don’t care for it anymore.

Correct. If people are no longer “Fans in the Stands” they are probably not tuning in or buying gear... the contract negotiated based on the new ratings will tell the tale of NFL.

Me neither but the NFL exists to maximize profit. They know they’re receding from their goal.
