Subdeacon Joe Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Good lord! NFL getting weirder. https://notthebee.com/article/im-gonna-show-you-what-the-new-nfl-kickoff-looks-like-and-im-not-sure-youre-gonna-like-it "Yes, a team must be losing, it must be the fourth quarter, and they are required to alert the referee squad, along with their opponent, that they're going to try for the onside kick (where they try to recover the ball and get it back)." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 They have pussified most sports over the years. No pro sports are worth my time anymore. UH, maybe rodeo, but not much else. I'd rather watch I Love Lucy reruns,,,,and I still HATE that show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 These are NOT sports!! They’re games!! Sports are dangerous! Dangerous enough that the individuals put their lives on the line when they participate. Bull Fighting is a sport! Some forms of motor racing, (air races, auto racing, motorcycle racing, power boat racing) are sports!! Some forms of fighting are sports! You can get killed doing almost anything, but these are things that are likely to kill you if you make the slightest mistake! As Ernest Hemmingway said, “…the rest are games.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Hard to get worked up over something I haven’t watched or supported in years. If the players are okay with it because it extends their overpaid career, it tells you they are performers or actors rather than warriors.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I view it as entertainment and I like a good game but with all these distractions it's getting harder to enjoy them. Same with baseball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) I don’t know if I will watch any “professional” football this year. They have bastardized the game to the point that it is unrecognizable! I do watch some baseball. I still don’t like the pitch clock, but I can let that slide! I got into a game the other night that went nearly three and a half hours and it was one of the best games I’ve seen in a couple of years!! I guess it’s down to auto racing for the most part. The rules have changed some in ways that I don’t particularly appreciate, but the racing, (when they’re actually racing) is still pretty good and I never could get enough speed!!

Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Haven't watched the NFL since they started disrespecting my country. Don't miss it either as it had become more of some kind of constant clown show instead of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 The NFL has become a JOKE populated by over paid prima donnas. Similarlay, there is no such thing as NASCAR any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
