I've basically quit watching already.

I still watch the Saints if they happen to be on here in L.A. and I don't have anything better to do.

Other than that, I don't really follow the NFL anymore, though in the past I watched every game that was on TV, new the offensive/defensive leaders for every team etc.

It hasn't been one thing that made me stop, it's just that I don't like the NFL game as much as I used to, though I still LOVE CFB.

There are too many commercials and the game is over-officiated. I also hate that every year there are new rules or areas of emphasis that make it easier on the offenses and handcuff the defenses.

I don't need to see the hard, violent hits and targeting, but I hate that almost every time a DB makes a good play some BS flag is called.

Gooddell, for a variety of reasons has taken the fun out of the NFL for me.

I found myself to kind of be in the opposite boat of most of the posters in this thread. I am becoming less and less interested in college football and more interested in the NFL.I am very turned off by how unfair college football is. Powerhouse teams consistently get the top players and the schedule cream puff teams for all of their non conference games. Alabama is the prime example right now. I think the only way that they can get me interested in the product again it is if the big 5 conferences seceded, became a separate division, and only played each other.

The NFL is the opposite. It's the most fair sports league in the world. They do such a great job of keeping each team on the level playing field from the scheduling to the draft order to the salary cap. The playoff system is great, and honestly, I'm a huge fan of offense. I'm probably a little bit younger than the rest of you, so I've grown up in the " offensive revolution " ... I enjoy seeing scoring, big plays, etc... the only thing about the NFL that's kind of pissing me off right now is all the flags,and I don't expect that to continue forever. Eventually the players will either learn not to commit the penalties or the league understand that they're slowing the game down too much and get a little bit more lenient on certain penalties.
