>>Agony of decision to boycott the NFL???!!! He has got to be kidding.<<

It has been for me.

No human being on Earth loved pro football more than me — the game not any particular team. I have been an avid fan since 1969 and LIVED for football season. Even preseason football was cause for me to celebrate and set the hours of my life aside to watch even 4th stringers try to make the team. That goes back to when they called it exhibition season.

The decision of the players to flip me and all I hold dear the big bird was the same as a woman I love deeply cheating on me in front of my face.

You have no idea the pain I had the last 2 seasons and continue to have. Nothing can really plug the hole in my heart that is left from not being able to watch and analyze football games.

Something dear and precious has been stolen from me. By self-important millionaire crybabies I helped make and a league which has aided and abetted.

Well, you still have college football, and around here, high school football is big.

The Saints have always been easy to scorn and when they got rid of some of their best players, I gave up on them. Last year, the political pronouncements of Sean Peyton made it even easier.

By the way, college players play with a lot more heart. I saw a couple of Saints games where I almost wanted to suit up and go out there and help them.
