I don’t know man. I made time to watch NFL games when I was in college 30 years ago. unless you root against the Cowboys or have action on The games, I really don’t really care about it like I did in HS. I don’t want to make excuses, but Roger Goodell has made me hate the league. I just don’t like his smugness and the political wokeness of the league.

Are you talking about mascots or teams? It seems like you don't like the mascots of the teams. What about the jersey colors?...Do you like those?

I never had much interest to begin with. I would watch casually but it’s hard to imagine dudes getting paid multi-million dollar contracts to play a child’s game really care that much


You just described every professional athlete. So you just don’t have interest in professional sports, then.

I honestly can count on one hand the anount of NFL games I’ve watched start to finish over the last 5 years. The body weight on the QB thing was the nail in the coffin.

I’ll watch the NHL and NBA all day. Especially since the Pellies are finally legit

You aren't the only one. Pretty much the only games I watch anymore are the Sunday and Monday night games. And that's only if no MLB playoff games were on. I rarely care about anything else. It's no longer must see TV anymore. It's nice not being tempted to buy the Sunday Ticket anymore.

Corporate product that isn't very entertaining imo. I prefer college sports in general though.

Yet we keep thinking we need more, even worse, football in the spring.

I am 54 and LOVED the NFL forever. I started turning some things off soon after Goddell took over. Bountygate really made me think that the whole thing was bullshite but the Rams game did me in. I still watch the Saints and some Bengals but it always passes me off to watch a game. Canned enthusiasm, incompetent and over officiating to where there is no play that doesn’t make you wait for a flag and the fact that I truly believe that there is sone type of frickery going on has pushed me out. I barely watch at all now unless the above mentioned teams play. NEZ season tix for 45 years and much rather Saturdays than Sundays but they are starting to show signs of sone NFL type bullshite too.

Yes. Too many flags and commercials. Losing appeal.

Either there is WWE type frickery going on or you have a billion dollar business who has the worst incompetent lying sack of shite commissioner ever.

The officials have an agenda on some games. There is too much bulkshit that doesn’t make sense. Then you have this 45 year old juiced up cyborg in Tom Brady and it makes you wonder…?

Made this post before

If No fantasy or gambling NFL would be in big trouble.

Why do you think gambling has been pushed down our throats last year or so

Yep quit watching when all the anti American shite was going on. I'll watch the Bengals because of JB.

I was a long time Saints fan damn near cried when they won the Superbowl, now I don't care if they ever win a game.

It's dwindled every year since 2010. First of all, I worked nights from 2010-2019 and that made it difficult to follow. I would wake to at 5:30 and check scores. It stuck

I lost a little interest three or four years ago, but I'm much more into it, since last season, with all of the 2019 LSU players doing well in the league. In the past, we mostly had defensive stars in the NFL. Now I try to watch as much of the Bengals, Vikings Chiefs, Bucks, along with the Saints and Cowboys every week.

Hell, Philadelphia is a fun watch too. I'm loving this season. There are some tough defenses this year too.

So how would you know if it’s watered down if you’re not watching other games?
