Cash strapped schools pay coaches more than professors or researchers, and at the end of the day there are always the same five or six schools have a shot at the national championship.

As for the pro game, it is a waste of time. The frickin games take 4 to 5 hours...it is not worth it. There are countless replays, inane announcers and a few elite teams and little else worth watching.

I watched very little football last year and probably will watch none this year (except the Super Bowl, which no one really watches anyway. Its just an excuse to have a party).
Thoughts?


Hard to believe it wasn't a woman that posted this.

I am not surprised Ivy League has a problem with women. I bet they have a problem with him as well. Except for mom, of course, because as we all know Ivy League lives at home and spends his time in the basement in his pajamas surfing the net all day.

I don't have a problem with women. I just find a guy who sees no value in the great sport of football rather queer.

And you're basing this on what?

As usual you do not have your facts straight (or should I say you are just not straight). What I said was PRO football and the newly developed mega conferences in College football is a waste of time. I love the game of football High School, small time College, pick-up games of touch...I just don't like the NFL brand.

/I used to play football and for years loved it and attended every NFL game in town, but it has gotten to the point that I just see dollar signs running down the field. The NFL as well as the players have gotten too greedy in my mind. A lot of these fans don't have a pot to piss in but will give up all kinds of things to get the money to go to the game and pay $8.00 for a wax paper cup of beer or $5.00 -$7.00 for a hot dog. The NFL settled the players suit over concussions long term effects because they didn't want the players Attorneys getting into their finances during discovery and find out that they are taking in BILLIONS while they struggle to see a game. I have pretty much now lost interest and watch very few games anymore- except the occasional Packers game we get down here

Another reason why the NFL settled the lawsuit was to keep private their records indicating that they had longstanding knowledge that cerebral injuries were producing long term symptoms and serious ailments.

The NFL has bargained out of the workers' compensation systems of the states. In any other industry employers through their carriers or insurance companies would be liable for disability and treatment related to work injuries even if the symptoms exist after separation from employment. The NFL had a nice scam going where their aged players were suffering but the League passed off the expenses to the individuals or, more likely, the taxpayer.

Somebody else said that to me. when I pulled at the drive thru window, I was surprised by the extent of the menu. I only remembered the burgers, so I went with a quarter pounder.

Another thing is with all the trades, free agency, and players moving around all the time, it is hard to develop loyalty. Are we rooting for teams or just for uniforms of our home towns?

I don't if it's just me but it seems 10 or 20 years back these guys were a lot tougher. They weren't pussies about small shit if they had to tough out the game to win it for the team they did it!
