Good. The NFL is a disaster. Hit the pocketbook. Object lessons are wondrous.

Yep...there is just way too much money in the NFL now...bigtime college football is rapidly following suit.

My son (a recent LSU grad) told me that they just had a raffle for a motorhome parking spot within decent distance to Tiger Stadium. It was huge because in order to pay thousands to park your custom $150K+ motorhome close, you usually have to be on a very long waiting list...or inherit the privilege.

I love football as a sport, but sometimes...I just don't know. I guess I yearn for the days when some guys would get together and buy an old school bus - take out some seats so there is room for a keg and a grille, have some beers and paint it up before the season.

In that one specific way, baseball and hockey probably benefit from not having a super popular farm system. Much easier to weed out jerks before they make it to the big show, not that they still don’t get some for sure. Also easier to bench or suspend when you play so many more games.
