Michael Vick, who served 21 months in prison for animal abuse played a couple more seasons after his release. As of late last month, he is being paid by Fox Sports as an NFL Studio Analyst.

Seriously? Michael Vick should be unemployed. At best.

Okay, everybody pipe down. I have an important announcement to make.

I was holding out cause I do love me some San Diego Chargers since I was a wee lad of ten. Today is a bridge too far. Here is what I will do to save America.

a.) Drop all my fantasy players to waivers and leave a note of explanation on the league forum. Which nobody reads.

b.) Never watch another minute of NFL football for the rest of my natural life. I told myself I would never die until the Chargers won the super bowl. I guess I can go ahead and croak in peace now.

c.) Tell all my friends football is for fags, like soccer.

You're welcome America.

It took a while, but the black man finally ruined football. This is why you can't give some people nice things.

You may now resume your regular broadcast.

(best anti NFL post ever, right?)

Been dead to me since the middle of last season.

Yep. When they didn't step on Krappernick and his stupidity, I kicked them to the curb. LAST YEAR.

To HELL with the NFL.

“To HELL with the NFL”.

That has a nice ring to it.

If they were kneeling on the sidelines to pray before a game the same people cheering them on would be in a panic and screaming about how they don’t have the right to do that on the field.

I watched about 10 min. of the Panther- Saints game. Came in after the game started.
Turned to NASCAR and another race from Austria.

Later I found out Julius Peppers of the Panthers demonstrated.
Sorry I watched even that much of the game now.

Here’s a guy that got 4 yrs. of college given to him at UNC. Can’t say college education because he majored in Black/African Studies.
IOW he learned how to hold a spear and tap an ox’s neck for fresh blood.
Doubt he can read, write beyond elementary school level.

And he makes more money in a year than I will make in a lifetime.

Oh, and basketball coach Roy Williams has said his national champ team will not be going to the White House.

Screw NFL and UNC. I’m a Duke fan anyway.

Oppressed? discriminated against? Unfairly treated?

I’m in the same boat; I would watch playoff or Super Bowl games if the Giants were playing, but I never changed plans to do so. I’m not quitting the NFL; I was never much of a fan anyway (and certainly not one that spent any money on them).

Many years ago I got an official NFL hat by matching two soda bottle caps and mailing them in; it honestly is the only piece of NFL merchandise I’ve ever owned (and I paid the US Postal Service, not the NFL, to get it). The problem for the NFL is that none of my children are fans in any way; the NFL is as foreign to them as the places where people wear their hair like Colin Kaepernick. As many of their friends are “replacement Americans” (Hispanic, Asian), none of them follow the NFL at all. Soccer is definitely their sport of choice, both for playing AND watching.

Catering to ghetto losers who never buy anything anyway is just bad business.

Excellent point. There are certain sideline demonstrations which the liberals would say do not belong on the football field. Among those are prayer.

I’m done as well. I started watching YA Tittle with the Giants. I’ve watched Football sink into the mire of a profane culture that will not accept any criticism of its idols. To hell with the elites and their pampered superstars. I’m turning my heart toward Home.

I remember Yelberton Abraham Tittle. The bald old man who was still good. Bart Starr who taught Sunday School and was as good as I have ever seen.

Joe Namath was flashy and probably immoral but he was fun to watch and he never slandered Aerica. I once say Fran Tarkenton butt helmets with Dick Butkus then run over him. Dandy Dan Meredith had them replay it for those who didn’t see it.

Johnny Unitas. Roger Staubach, another devout Christian. Archie Manning was as good as any but unfortunately played on one of the worst teams ever.

I never saw Dixie Howell throw to Don Hutson but played on the same field as he did. Same goes for Johnny Mack Brown who played for Dothan High. was named MVP for the Rose Bowl

Time to start following hockey. Mostly Canadian players who don’t disrespect the country or flag. Fast paced, exciting sport.
