The constant talk about fantasy crap has really diluted it for me. I can rarely sit back and enjoy a game without someone in the vicinity wanting to tell me how if the backup TE gets 2 more catches or the defense scoops and scores he could win his matchup. For whatever reason, I hate fantasy football. I guess its because I've bet on games for years and fantasy seems like a whole lot more work for less payout.

for me its because the flags in both CFB and NFL are getting out of hand. Its getting as bad as basketball watching a foul call on every trip down the floor.. You literally have to hold your breathe on every good play or TD because 8/10 times there is gonna be a flag on the field. I'm getting really tired of seeing flags on every 2nd or 3rd play.

I would say it's because there's basically no parity.. In the NFL you've got the same few teams, New England, Dallas, Atlanta, Green Bay, and Denver and Pittsburgh maybe in that category.. In college it's the same, Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma.. Everybody knows this going into the season and the other teams and fans are just left like

Also the increased penalties and rule changes are really bringing the quality of the game down. Seems like there's a flag on every play. Ejecting good players during games ruins them. And of course there's always a few teams that get the extra help from the refs.

All of that combined and it just sucks.

High school football is the only thing keeping me from absolutely hating football right now. LSU and Saints suck while St Amant has been rising the last few years

Staying horizontal on a couch from 11:00am on Sat. to 1:00am on Sunday has lost it's luster for me.
