Taking a break from the NFL obsession
Those of you who know me and have visited the gameroom will know what kind of step this is for me so here's my checklist.

1.Recently informed my big money fantasy league that I'm out and I've already found someone to take my spot.

2.Will not be activating the other 6 DTV receivers this season.

3.Will not have Sunday Ticket

4,Will be spending more time outside in the Fall,either here or at the lake instead of being cooped up 12-14 hours on Sundays watching a game I have very little faith in anymore.

This does not mean I am done and have washed my hands of all but the plan is to take a major break which in all honesty I hope becomes a permanent thing.

Thanks for listening/reading.

In this situation, Joe's gambling is the cigarettes and watching football is having a beer. In order to quit one, he needs to cut back on the other. Doesn't mean he doesn't still love football.

I was referring to how college football has a diverse collection of offenses and defenses compared to the NFL. On any given Saturday, I can watch Army run the triple option, the spread and the air raid.

The NFL is completely "all or nothing" and despite all of the mechanisms in place to create parity, there really isn't any. It's just like college only on a much smaller scale with absolutely zero consolation for anyone other than the SB winner.
I am an Army football fan. Last year, we won 10 games. It was amazing to watch and appreciate. I know that we are never going to win another Championship but the seasons are still exciting and thrilling.

Zoners posts over the years caused me to look closer into point spreads and the like. The game is absolutely 100% influenced by outside forces not always on the field. It isn't necessarily rigged, but the results are absolutely steered towards a certain result. No doubt in my mind.

This is a pretty insightful post here.

I still love the game of football. I watch FCS ball when I can and attend the local HS games. I watch my college team if they’re on TV (I don’t have cable).

I’m just exhausted after 30 years of failure with the Chiefs and when you combine that with the product the NFL is pushing nowadays, I’m just not all that into it.

We now have concussion protocol and instant replay and yadda yadda yadda hell we now even have a former ref in the booth that is going to tell us why we should believe the call that is about to be made.
I just feel like I'm watching professional wrestling more times than not and am sick and ****ing tired of the BS.
Lastly and again sorry to be a downer,listen real close to the announcers on any game,watch the vegas spreads and then the outcomes.
I can't preach this shit if I'm not willing to step away and it breaks my heart because I LOVE sports
I believe it all.

as if the NFL /TV broadcasts hadn't already driven me away, what did it for me was the Chiefs v Texans game, and the ab-so-lutely ridiculous coverage of JJ Watt backstage, er....in the tunnel.
I can't remember if they had a overhead blimp shot / helicopter shot following the ambulance or not.

It looked liked something you'd see on WWE. I just sat there thinking "this is so reeruned".

I just have to say your avatar gets me every time.

But seriously, the Watt saga has become annoying.

Well, it ended up happening..

Man are you in luck this fall. You can tune in to watch the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes skull**** the Raiders by running a pro version of the air raid.

Yeah, but you could watch Army play 1930's football too! Don't forget about that option.

The triple option didn't start until the 1960s.

**** man. I don’t see how anyone over 30 could buy into what the NFL is selling[/QUOTE]

This! I have not watched a full NFL game, besides the Chiefs in probably 3 years. Haven't gone out of my way to watch the Chiefs for a while. This year will be different of the latter.
