I feel the NFL is past its prime. Like most things that have peaked, they seem to have been taken over by money and politics.

So true.

Free agency was the death knell, where players flit from one team to another, like butterflies on flowers. What's left to support, a franchise corporation? And a leftist one, at that.

As a quick preface (linkage in a moment) I never like “Seinfeld” except for his bit at the opening of the show.

In one of those bits, he asked why anyone is a fan of any professional team. He pointed out: teams constantly change cities, ownership, even names. His conclusion: “fans are just rooting for clothes.”

That’s what’s so funny to me about this situation. He got to thinking he was hot stuff and that everyone would fall all over themselves trying to get him. So he opted out of his contract to become a free agent, only to discover nobody wanted him. If he hadn’t done that, he would still be playing.
