Hubris may one day finally catch up to the NFL.

I agree.

Pro football used to be a Sunday thing with a Monday night cherry on top. Now it’s Sat/Sun, Monday, Thursday, and, some now are pushing for Wednesday and Friday night games. Hint to the NFL, you make yourself not so special if you’re on the boob tube 5 or 6 nights a week. You’re on the verge of wearing people out now.

They’ve got a golden goose but that idiot Goodell is getting ready to strangle it.

I think the NFL being a talking piece for the DNC and the gay agenda is what’s turning me off.

Pink shoes and gays in the locker room did me in.

They’ve got to somehow, someway get a handle on the head injury issue. That alone will be the demise of the league eventually.

My brother and I have DVDs of the videos of NFL playoffs from the 70’s. We like to watch them in the runup to the Super Bowl. Back then, the coverage was to a certain extent understated and classy compared to today. I liked how they introduced each member of the officiating team by name.

Cuban is delusional. The NFL, just over the last few years, has finally caught up to the NBA with the disgusting gangsta/ghetto culture.

upping the ante to include player safety and behavioral issues
Behavioral issues in the National Felons League? Say it ain't so, Joe.
Actually, greedy teams/players and TV (e.g., ESPN) in all sports forced me away many years ago. Probably began when the baseball players voted to strike and canceled the '94 World Series.
After that, it was games starting at 8/9 pm and running until after midnight; never being able to see the end of a game. Why bother?
The NBA and NHL seasons now run for 9 booooring months, and then 3/4s of the teams qualify for the playoffs. Why bother playing the season?
Add in the never ending commercials and (except for the Yanks and NY Giants) I no longer watch sports.

I only watch NFL RedZone. No commercials...bouncing from play to play around the league. The average football game only has around 15 minutes of actual action.

I don’t need to hear the opinion of a commie like Mark Cuban.

Well if Mr. Cuban had designs on owning an NFL team I’d say they’re pretty much gone.
