re: Thoughts on the NFL & what would it take for you to stop watching?

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.
