The NFL is not to be confused with football in general.

That is unexpected. Next they’ll have a breaking news story about Anthony Weiner and Huma unexpectedly drifting apart.

nothing is more off-putting than teenage millionaires that have been coddled since they were in high school claiming that they’re being oppressed.

“Popularity” means nothing compared to ratings. And while NFL ratings are down they are still far higher than MLB ratings. And I say that as a baseball fan who hasn’t watched an NFL game in 20 years.

Football players were asked by The Left to AID in their own death, and they consented.

Football players are THE BIGGEST SUCKERS in the whole history of the USA.

Lessay someone walked into your very diamond store worth $63 billion and handed you a huge sledge hammer:

“Hey will ya maybe smash up all this stuff for me with this, please..? Oh! And flush all the diamonds down the toilet, kay..?”

Would you say YES..?

Cuz football players DID.

My enthusiasm for “My Boys” has tanked since “Jerrah” took a knee before the Anthem.

A technicality, his team didn’t “knee” but I’m tired of this kind of duplicity.

All the joy and expectations of a new year has virtually evaporated because of this political correctness.

All I wanted is a few hours away from the world’s weariness on Sunday but Goodall has permitted it to creep in.

I watch my team but the rest of the NFL can go hang itself.

I stopped watching NFL and I am not DVR’ing it for later view. Because my healthcare premiums go up by 9% January 1st 2018, I quit Directv then, too.
