Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I am a football fan, but I switched to the college games. I seldom turn it on Sunday afternoon. In my not so humble opinion, I find the college ball to be more fun and better football. The pros follow the rotation of plays like a book. What fun is that. They try to stir up interest with player controversy rather than playing skill. Not for me. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 College and HS ball for me. I never got over the player strike back in the 70's and have hardly watched a pro game since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake River Clay SASS #34984 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I would be lost if the NFL season didn't happen. I hate the end of summer and the only good thing about fall is football.

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Negative. Haven't watched NFL football since Jughead Jones bought the Cowboys and the Oilers moved to Tenneessee. I still watch college football, but it's getting nearly as bad as the NFL. Nothing matters but the money. Supposedly that how we got stuck with the BCS (Big Crock of.........Spit). If the Big 12 had totally broken up I'd have probably given up on that too. My 2 cents, JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The only time we miss having a TV is for the baseball playoffs/World Series and when USC is playing. Those are the only sports we watch/care about. We could care less if the NFL or the NBA were to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I figure that the athletes are just entertainers, not all that different from actors, singers, and musicians. They all get paid way too much but they get paid for what they do because the public wants to see it. Do I give a rat's patootie about any of them? Not a bit.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Billionaire NFL owners make millions on the backs of the players and taxpayer subsidies. Even minor market franchises have values of a billion dollars or more. Some of the players are millionaires, but the majority aren't. The average NFL career is just 5 years. I don't give a &%#! for owners who pay those salaries and cry all the way to the bank. I think the players should get whatever the market will bear. I also don't give a &%#! for division I athletic programs that make millions from teams that are little more than a farm system for the NFL and NBA. Most of the money they make is not shared with the schools but instead stays within their athletic departments. The Atlantic Coast Conference all by itself has a $1.86 BILLION deal with ESPN for football, and the University of Texas has its own TV network... Other than that, I have no opinion.
