For some mysterious reason ... people aren't buying their crap.

I just don’t have 4+ hours to devote to the NFL and their constant advertisements.

Working Americans have stagnant incomes thanks to our massive, statist, leftist government. I have to work just to stay above water, pay for my shitty Obamacare, pay taxes, etc... I can’t give you 4 hours of my week, NFL.

And when the NFL then sides with the oligarchs, that just hurts even more.

Even if just for the survival of football, Kaepernick shoulda been bounced.

The NFL really shot itself in the foot with that whole nonsense.

ESPN has moved onto other things than football (snicker)

Yep there sure are lots of commercials on the games.

It really interrupts the flow of the game to have so many commercials. They always go to a bloc of commercials after a scoring play, then come back for the kickoff, then another delay of game for another bloc of commercials. I think they have stretched the commercial time outs too far.

I wish there was more enthusiasm for a real boycott of ESPN but it looks like that’s never really going to happen.

The cord cutters are starting to have an effect though. We need to get to 100% ala carte cable so we can control where our support goes.

In light of the “Celebrity Culture” putting on a counter-inauguration and the anti-Trump feelings expressed in the NBA, isn’t it time to totally reject celebrities - period!

I like football but I don't have the burning desire I might have had years ago....the Kapnip stuff didn't help....nor the defending of him by the coaches and NFL...

oh we can't have a tribute to the fallen police men but we do allow our uniform wearing highly paid jocks to do whatever they want to demean the whole country....

I’m always happy to contribute to their dismal ratings by not watching any of their programming.

Thursday Night
Sunday Early Afternoon
Sunday Late Afternoon
Sunday Evening
And finally Monday Night

Throw in a bunch of college games throughout the week and I'm kind of footballed-out by Monday night.

The title raises the obvious question: what was the worst season?

No patriots in America want to watch overpaid, anti-American, ungrateful pieces-of-sh*t.

I was upset with the take a knee crap but when the police could not be honored I moved from upset to downright furious! Then they announced Spirit Cooking Lady Gaga had the superbowl halftime show and my blood boiled. I don't know if I'll ever go back to watching the games, but for certain it won't be this year! Praying Kaepernick is dropped on Monday!

Heck, just listening to Sean McDonough’s monotonic lack of excitement is enough to put one in a coma. Even Jon Gruden is succumbing to Sean’s boringness.

“footballed-out” is the exact word we use in our household as well, as in the following conversation, “I’m all footballed-out.”; “Yeah, me too”.
