Seriously might be my last season as a fan

I think it will go to any play/call can be reviewed by a challenge.

spkb, talk to later. You are not a fairweather fan.

Everyone else, good posts. Saints' time is drawing near. I have errands, tasks to finish first. Nerves starting to surface.

I am a lifelong football fan since I was in diapers and actually was at Tulane stadium. We went to Tulane stadium not only to watch the Saints, but to go see Tulane and high school football games. By the time I was 8 we started going to Baton Rouge to watch LSU football games.

My dad was/is a charter season ticket holder for the Saints and his seats were merged with my brother in law's family.

My brothers and I have always watched MLB in the off-season. This year we started road tripping to watch the Astros and Rangers play. We're not definitive fans of either team, but we're fans of the MLB.

Baseball is a much purer game where balls are either in or out, and umpires tend to call professional games. The level of subjectivity in officiating is not even 1/2 of what the NFL has become.

Everyone is right here when they say the game has become very subjective and oddly enough, I too find myself not enjoying it. NFL refs have become an avenue for Roger Goodell and the NFL's "agenda" with hits to the head and concussions - a problem caused by the NFL. The off-field drama of players and now politics that have made it to the game have done nothing by repulse me.

I feel the NFL, and football in general, may slip away within our lifetime. I appreciate the discussion in this thread.

Good points. The MLB has been gaining ground. They opened up the strike zone and allowed the game to actually be fair again. The NFL could take a few lessons from the MLB and learn that not everything has to be offense offense offense.

Tennis is the sport I take solace in when NFL has too much drama and BS. Or I'll fire up Madden which has its own BS but at least the game isn't about the refs and game stoppages.
