The Lonely NFL Thread (complete with tumbleweeds)

[Master]

That was an interesting read about their rivalry when I googled it.

My knowledge is near zero, so we use to have it on channel 4 and the refrigerator was big. Think his name was Perry?

I was a fan of Washington Redskins for no special reason than they were the capital of USA.

I did not enjoy watching it because I did not really understand the rules but played it a couple of times at school where they would pull a white cloth from your belt rather than smash you.

That is the full and complete state of my knowledge.

William 'Refrigerator' Perry....back when football was worth a damn.

The game was built on hard hits and now that's against the rules. Shame.

Never really been a fan, don't mind watching highlights tho.

I still enjoy it. I don't think the "powers that be" will let the league sink into the abyss. Too much money involved. The NFL is big business. They'll recalibrate and come around and find an acceptable solution. Hell.... they're always tweaking.
Sometimes too much. But the atmosphere, rivalries, crowd, electricity....... it's unbeatable.

That's the end of my knowldge.

Great movie. Brought to the forefront a problem that exists not only with the NFL, but potentially with other sports as well. Still... the NFL continues to thrive. It's on them to continue to find ways to provide top-level entertainment without ruining the sport for the fans, while at the same time addressing the health issues. A fine line and not an easy one to tread.... but I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Nobody EVER said concussions and/or losing consciousness was beneficial to a person's health.



'member when the ESPN types wanted WOMEN to play football with/against the men? I 'member!
