35-year fan here. Done.

I spend my time and money where it is wanted and respected. NFL-free Sundays are wonderful.

Don’t forget Charlie Jones in that list of announcers. He usually did the AFL/AFC West games for NBC, and I really liked listening to him.

Right - LOL.

It’s a good reason for people who tune out to actually tune into something else so the ratings show up elsewhere - not just “turn it off.” MeTV, AntennaTV, etc. getting ratings spikes would demonstrate we do like watching stuff and would watch stuff that isn’t trash like they make today.

All of this leads onto a salary evolution event occurring at the end of this season. Marginal players will see pay-cuts coming, and decent players will probably see zero salary gain. If this were to continue for another season or two...I could see entire team salary listings cut by 10 to 20 percent. Whether this was part of the master plan by Kaepernick or not....it is a consequence.

Now, the only one I’ll watch is the Cowboys.

You mean team whose owner is Jerry "You will stand for the anthem or your ass will be off my team" Jones?

The Cowboys are now my second favorite team after the Dolphins, and if any Dolphins players engage in any shenanigans regarding the anthem this year—or America in general—I'll immediately switch to rooting for the Cowboys...
