I know that I’ll get hammered for this but…
Is anyone else already sick and tired of football? I swear it just ended like…last week. Usually, I’m a huge fan and love watching. For some reason though, I’m already tired of it. I’ve only watched one full game and I’m just spent. I guess that is ok cause it just means I’ll have more time to fish this fall!
I was that way with baseball, but I calmed down more as the season progressed.
College Football is my favorite!

What is the NFL and this football thing :?
Your team musta lost… I’m psyched up for the regular season to get underway…
GO STEELERS
Go Terry! Go Franco!! and my favorite! MEAN Joe Greene! 
I’m with Mark. I could care less if all pseudo-professional sports were eliminated, and the prima-donnas with numbers on their work clothes were forced to get a real job for real paycheck. I don’t care how good you are at what you do, no kid fresh out of college is worth the insane salaries that their agents are getting for them, and not a one of them is smart enough to negotiate for themselves. Our education system panders to these underachievers who can can kick butt on a field of play, at the expense of kids who would appreciate a good education and make a worthwhile contribution to the job market and society. $20 million for 4-5 years, and the bozos go out and snort drugs, take steroids and gamble on dog and chicken fights. These are role models? I sure would not want my kid to join the ranks of those low lifes. And some of you actually pay your hard-earned dollars to sit in a stadium and watch this? I’m almost 57 and I have NEVER bought a ticket to a professional sporting event, nor do I plan to any time soon.
I digress, and will prepare to go fishing. BTW, Dad never bought one either, but took his sons out every weekend to hunt & fish.

ONE Football game is one too many for me. I don’t care for it & never have.
I LOVE baseball though and when the season is over I’m pretty much done with all sports until Spring Training.
Hey there Joe V,
What if I told you MY son was professional football player, would THAT ring a familiar bell??
Mark
The NFL is what it is. Large fast guys who can play one game very well.
Our family, me, my wife, son, daughter in law–their girls; my daughter and her husband–their daughter go to lots of high school games–football, basketball.
I’m a big fan of my William Jewell Cardinals. Small college football and basketball (small college sports) are great. These are kids, playing at the next level, without scholarships, because they like to play the game.
I love all the college games----I get a big kick out of the Chiefs—and Matt and I adopted the Bears, when we lived in St. Louis in the mid 1980s.
I’m busy with high school and college football and basketball until next spring.
Mark,
No, it would not ring a bell for me, since I do not follow sports and could not even tell you who the starting QB is for the Cleveland Browns, which is my home team. If your son is a pro football player, I’m sure you are very proud of him and I wish him a long and healthy career. Hopefully he paid attention in college and got a good education before joining the pro ranks.
Joe
I posted on here and it went away! :?
Anyway, NFL football? Didn’t they get that all settled last year? Why can’t they just leave it like that? Seems to be a lot of pushing and shoving for nothing. Why not give them each a ball and let them play nice.
JC,
Thanks for giving us a ‘FRESH’ perspective! :lol:
Doug
NFL?
as far as im concerned( my opinion doesnt matter if you like football you like football) i couldnt care less about it though.
HEY! What’s wrong wis yous guys!!! It’s called a “PIGSKIN!”
Show some respect!!!
Doug :lol:
:lol:
Pigskin batter dipped and deep fried. MMMM…pigskin… :lol:
Seriously, I love watching football but I’ve given up on upper level college ball. It seems completely contrary to the purpose of universities. And without a definite champion at the end of the season. Seems pointless, but it must matter to someone since everyone appears to be cheating rather flagrantly. I do like watching the NFL though. It gets me through baseball and basketball season. Sorry, but I can’t do those at all.
I’m not that old, only 50 but when I was a kid there were real men that played professional football. When Johnny Unitas retired the game was over for me. Can you imagine some over paid running back telling Papa Bear he can’t play today because he had “turf toe?” Right.
When Sammy Baugh played without a face mask. I don’t think so. These guys today could be a water boy for a bunch of real men. Take away their roids and what are they? Nothing.
My wife watches it but I could care less.
Rusty <><
PCRusty,
I’ll bet DICK BUTKUS or JACK LAMBERT could teach the babies a few things!

You should consider watching Vanderbilt’s football team. Vanderbilt seems to be completely contrary to the purpose of playing football. :shock:
