It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The problems stem from conscious decisions the NFL and its marketeers have made to focus on the off-the-field stuff instead of the on-the-field product. Look for instance at what percentage of nfl.com / NFL Network is dedicated to that baloney. Imagine if the NFL put its efforts into improving its on-the-field product and left the media stuff to the media? We might see some sort of developmental league (remember the old NFL Europe) and some common sense rule changes (like letting NFL scouts give feedback to college athletes earlier so some of them would stay in school and develop some more there instead of leaving and then never making an NFL team) etc.And this goes back full circle...all of the extracurricular stuff like Defamegate, whatever-gate, Kaepernick, etc might not have registered so strongly if the one-field product were better. Alas, with a declining quality, it's easier to walk away and perhaps not come back.
Kaepernick's refusal to eat meat? What a prick. Vegetarians forcing their life styles down our throats RUINING AMERICA!!!And this goes back full circle...all of the extracurricular stuff like Defamegate, whatever-gate, Kaepernick, etc might not have registered so strongly if the one-field product were better.

Maybe they'll replace him with a clone of Gruden, "Now that might be the greatest call I've ever seen man, these officials are the best in sports I'll ya what man." "Man I agree, this is the greatest game ever and I bet the ratings are off the chart."Heard on Mad Dog sports radio this morning about this. The hosts of Morning Men were talking about the repurcussions of his comments. They were saying someone from NFL will definitely reach out to ESPN and send a message to McDonough.
It takes some guts to say during a primetime game (aside the fact that it was a horrible game). We need more announcers like him.
And that can also be blamed on the CBA for the less practice time. Less practice= sloppier play.Of the penalties called, I agreed with most of them. The fault lies more with the crappy play on the field than the refs or the rule book.
wow. I totally agree with him the flags make the game so much less watchable. I hate how "And there is no flag on the field!" after like some huge play is part of the deal, like you are always expecting the most exicting parts of football to be ruined by a flag. Imagine if in game 7, bottom of 8th or something after a long at bat, someone hits a three run homer.. The crowd goes wild.. and everyone is praying to god there is no nullifying flag. The game would suck.
There should be a version of football where you can mug each other, hold, a constant fight, the QB has to run around... All passes would be like back yard football where the receive has to get open then you gun it at him. That is what the XFL should have done.
