It'll be an interesting season to say the least and will be a grest day for humanity when røgerr disappears for good.
I was saddened to see the players hit Drew that hard.I lost a hell of alot of respect for a few of them.
I'm not sure there were any I respected to start with.

Oh, well. To each his own. I'm going to continue to watch all sports for what it is ... entertainment.

I'm with you Arkansas.

The game has become unwatchable in recent years, with replay, dumb rules, and so many commercial breaks. YouTube an old game from the 70s, and find yourself immersed.

Now that the players have alienated me, I dont care about them anymore, so whats the point? They're like 90 year old hookers. You expect me to pay that much? For what?

The players, their hostages, like Brees, and the appeasers who should be managing them, have also forgotten that Football comes during beautiful
Fall days, when I could be kayaking, fishing, and playing outside.

So, social justice, standing up to The Man, whatever. I've lost interest. Have fun.

One idea no one else may have had already. This is a great board, with a lot of great people, many I know in real life, including the Late Great Foreverfan.
We should stay together, like the old Baltimore Colts Marching Band, which kept marching, even after the Colts left for Indianapolis. I plan to continue to visit the B&G, just to say hi. I dont know whether I will continue to organize gatherings. Im certainly going to miss the TailGating. But the CoronaHoax cut our crawfish party in half. I've made friends, for whom my
enjoyment transcends football, so I feel like our Houston group will continue.

I guess I can see where you are coming from. Kind of. But, the game for me is a relief and the ability to escape and pull for my team. I can still do that regardless of the individuals that play the game. To me, whether I agree or disagree with anything outside of the white lines with those players means less than what I get out of the game itself. I guess I am far more invested than most in the game.

As outspoken as I may seem, I let stuff roll off my back. It is almost impossible to ruffle my feathers.

That said, I also enjoy the sport of debate. Not too sporting with a few, but several step up for the game. Y'all each know who you are. Or should. Or are not able.

You definitely seem to have a degree of infamy among some of our posters. For some reason, you've never rubbed me the wrong way, even when you disagree with me. Its probably, because you an whoever you're debating are talking so far over my head. I have a special place in my heart for NWLA fans, as I remember the Persecution getting my Saints games preempted by Cowboys, by a station licensed to Louisiana. I also remember the crap spoken at me by Cowboys fans up there, in the old days. I'll be around.

College football is a real sport where the key is to win. Not to entertain mindless folks as it's primary purpose. The NFL reminds of the choregraphed world wrestling federation. It ain't real. If it's not real then I'm not all that entertained by what is supposed to be NFL competition among professional athletes unlike college football where the game still has integrity.

College football is probably the most entertainment based college sport, next to basketball, in Division I. My son was a Division I swimmer and that definitely wasn't for entertainment. LOL. 1500 meter can only be entertaining to a parent.

Sometimes I wonder if the media exists solely to sow discord among Americans for profit.

We all know subconsciously that forcing an issue never ends in agreement. An argument doesn’t aid a negotiation but actually hinders it, because it devolves into a win-lose power struggle — which engages our ego, which is so powerful, some would actually risk death than concede. It’s a fact backed up by actual brain scans.

Point is this, we’ve got two ears and only one mouth for a reason. If you can’t listen and validate each other before shutting down and blowing up in spectacular fashion, then what’s it all worth? Just take my freedom now in that case.
But people have ten fingers and a keyboard! They can rant with no consequences for their mindless ramblings. Just get on social media and say what is on your mind. It's good to move communication forward right?

Well when Brees retires before Brady and lets him take the records, It will be over for my watching anyway.

And you'll simply move your allegiance elsewhere?
