I gave up caring much about the NFL when we got saban, combined with my home team being the jaguars. Never been a huge pro guy, but even less now. I'll still do a jag game per season in person, and casually watch the game on Sundays... but 0 f's are given.

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.

So what you're saying is you're a communist?

The on field product is getting worse and worse. I have always enjoyed defense and it's becoming a thing of the past in football as a whole. I really only watch saints games at this point and often fall asleep on the couch . Don't really care about Ff anymore either. Just kinda over football.

It's just so boring compared to cfb too.

I love the NFL and as annoying as it can be, it's gonna take a lot for me to stop watching. If anything, fantasy football will keep me interested.
As for college football, I'm about done with it. Hardly cared about it last year and I care even less about it this year.

Already stopped in some ways.
I made the decision about 2 weeks ago that I'm not going to plan anything around any NFL game.
If I am doing nothing and it's on, I will watch, but as far as planning for a game, I'm done.
Still don't know who won the Chiefs Pats game last night and wow, my life is completely unaffected.

Perfectly stated.

The minute a female stepped on the field in any capacity I'm done. until then I'm good.

I quit watching no fun league games 2 weeks ago

Never quitting on my team but my overall satisfaction at watching the NFL this year is as low as its ever been and that's not reactionary hyperbole

I haven't watched a complete game in 4 or 5 years. I might watch a half a game at the most. The league has taken the excitement out of the game with crap like replacement refs, constantly changing rules and Goodell and his antics with fines and suspensions like he is god. To top if off, I can't stand to listen to any of the broadcast teams without feeling sick to my stomach.

I still love the NFL.
The guy on Conan just said it well:
"Goodell could come on stage and punt a baby and I would still watch on Sunday"

Nothing. I love the NFL and everything about it and always will unless it ceases to exist.

If you love everything about ANYTHING, your standards are too low.

Roger Goodell is a saint compared to David Stern.
