It probably has to do with Missouri football becoming a lot more interesting since the late 90s, but I always considered the NFL my first sport.

But something has been drained from the NFL over the last decade, though. I don't know if it's the rule changes, or the way the media covers the league like it's TMZ and not football, or... what. Certainly, the Chiefs' utter futility for the last decade has played a part.

But for some reason as years go by I keep finding college football becoming more interesting to me and the NFL somewhat less.

Maybe it's "good old days" thinking, but it seems like defense and the running game were so important in the past. Now the league is almost entirely about the quarterback and the passing game.

I think I liked the NFL I grew up with more.
