a regular season NFL game. I just lack interest in it anymore.
Still likes me CFB on Saturday though.
Anyone else lost or losing interest?
Paul Warfield and Gale Sayers gave the game grace and style.
The physics of the game has changed. Players are too thick, too big, and too fast. It reminds me of playing electric football with the vibration at full power.
...is when I quit my NFL fantasy league a couple of years ago, after a 10 year membership. It feels like I have so much more time. The Super Bowl is about the only NFL game I watch these days.
game between Seattle and San Francisco the year Seattle won it all, was one of the most physical I have ever seen in recent memory. The regular season generally stinks though. I only pay attention and check stats of former ND players.
baseball only decent in playoffs/World Series and that is a bit of a stretch.
If it were dating... (insert inappropriate comment here).
watch the game due to all the stoppage.
Take a foreignor to a game and try to explain what is going on every time the players are just standing there with their hands on their hips doing nothing... while TV peddles beer and trucks.
If you're going to take a foreigner, make sure he or she is properly vetted.
vision on our society, centralized, highly arranged and planed. Anybody agree with it? of course, we all love football as a sport.
not fun to watch. Texas Tech threw 86 passes.
because defense takes longer time to develop and mature.
Good thing you're on the right side in all of this, eh, Eli?
If we just get the right people in office, we'll make these things right, yes?
In order of preference:
1) CFB...live or on TV...I'll watch almost any team.
2) NHL...preferably live and in person
3) baseball...live (but not MLB...too expensive and boring...give me my local minor league team any day)
With the protests, NFL is off my list. Never did NBA, but college basketball jumps to #1 in March.
Notre Dame is starting to price itself out of my comfort zone. If I'm going to spend $150 on tickets for a Notre Dame game, I'm sure as hell not taking my family, and the ushers better be handing me a bottle of $100 wine or scotch on my way out of the stadium if the Irish lose. I'll watch them on TV no matter what, though.
Their fans would chew you up and feed you to the fishes if you suggested that orange slice BS to them.
Like most pussified things that is an American thing for baby soccer.

in many aspects. Passion, extremely loyal fans, historic, standing instead sitting watching the games, 100% team oriented. All rivalries are true rivalries. NFL is league -oriented. Each team in the league, just like a McDonald, is a franchise. The league can move the team here or there. There is no true long term rivalry except perhaps Green Bay with Chicago/Detroit.
But with that being said, overall, American football is the best sport in the world. American college football is the best "league" in the world.
The players all have to be in excellent physical shape. Matches are over in a little more than two hours.
I don't like the injury simulation and constant whining for calls.
I love the fan passion. No one sits during the game.
I also love the creativity of the players on the fly in the game.
But not for the last 20 years. My football watching occurs on Saturdays.
But soccer? I'd rather watch a test pattern. At least it wouldn't be frustrating, because test patterns don't have a seemingly exciting moment called back due to an "offsides" penalty. That rule is one of many that makes soccer unwatchable.
watching the real game.
My grad school roommate was a college soccer player. If he had the remote, soccer was on.
The offside rule is awful, and there are too many damn guys on the field. Pitch. Whatever.
Hopefully, the academy system will produce players who can compete internationally.
I'm not holding my breath though.
the best and the NCAA basketball tournament is fantastic.
Go BVB
word. My club team growing up has so many players that have made an impact not sure why St. Louis does not have a team. FYI both my kids made the local academy team and it has changed my life...I cannot start drinking until 9PM most nights. 6 days a week and Friday is my only off day...it is certainly a commitment but the academies are finally teaching the game with a European model...US soccer is on the up and up.
Of course my nephew is playing for Cal State while Pulisic plays in the Bundesliga.
The game also did right by my kid college expense wise.
