I think all the injury crap is just a liberal weenie fantasy.

The real reason it sucks more is because it stopped being like it was in the 70s. Then it was just real men, playing a cool game and little else. The Super Bowl has become a joke, a caricature of itself.
The halftime Vegas style overproduced extravaganzas are annoying. The guitar playing football robots on TV. Way too many commercials. Unsportmanslike crap like icing the kicker. Instant play review on every other play. Why not just take the calls and breaks as they come? And its a bunch of unpatriotic thugs with long dreadlock hair hanging out of their helmets. Games every other day of the week. Games in London. And ESPN is a whole other story.

They have just overplayed their hand. Give me Cowboys and Steelers from the 70s. That was football worth watching.

Agree on most: no timeout prior to a FG attempt; quit with the friggin flags on every play; get rid of most PI/defense penakties; let QBs take the hit.
