MISS ME YET?
Yes, we do Mr. Rozelle. Come down from Heaven or wherever you are and take back the league from that puke Goodell.

The NFL opened the 2017 season Thursday night to its lowest television ratings in eight years.
NBC’s broadcast of the Kansas City Chiefs’ stunning 42-27 upset of the New England Patriots drew an overnight rating of 14.6. That’s down nearly 12% from the 16.5 posted by the Denver Broncos-Carolina Panthers season kickoff from a year ago.
That’s bad news for the NFL since the ratings had also dropped for the 2016 opener, down approximately 7% from the 17.7 rating posted the previous year, when the Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers played in the first game of the season.

Hoping this Sunday is the lowest rated opening week since 1900.
Keep hiring players who disdain the flag, and the numbers are going to go down further.
Just watch the Packer game at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field.
Packers don’t sit down!

MISS ME YET?
Yes, we do Mr. Rozelle. Come down from Heaven or wherever you are and take back the league from that puke Goodell.
Not watching overpaid, un-patriotic, ghetto scum, ever.
Left out a key word, though I expect most all knew what I meant.
Let them find another nation to be the football league of since they don’t like this one.
Being a chiefs fan, I decided to end my boycott and watch the game. As soon as I saw them highlight the @hole sitting, I turned it off. I did turn it back on with about four minutes left, but I was only looking to see who won.
I avidly followed the NFL for over 50 years.
I wouldn’t watch a “game” now if they paid me.
So far, the Redskins have escaped all the overpaid, anti-American snowflake-ism so I will happily watch on Sunday. Hokies are the best, though! :^)
I’ve cut my viewing down from four or five games per week to about two, mostly Patriots and Cowboys games. Might even cut it further depending on how the season progresses.
I read a press release from the owner of the Chiefs that said anyone protesting the flag would be fired on the spot. Was that fake news?
I hadn’t read that about the Chiefs, but there was the one Chiefs player who protested last night.
Patriots blew it but our team does not “sit” or knee.
The whole pregame show honors the Military as always.
One of the Chiefs players did sit last night.

NFL = No Fans Left
I went to the first game the Chiefs played upon moving to KC. I went to the longest game ever played, the Chiefs/Miami Christmas Day game (with my wife) and scandalized the family.
I went to a lot of games and for a dozen years the company I helped run had 8 club level seats and club passes. I met Lamar Hunt and his original GM. I met players and staff. I spent thousands on the Chiefs.
Last night I went to a pizza joint. The game was on the TV. I sat where I couldn’t watch.
