Why the lack of fading lack of interest in the NFL?

a.) Too many teams and not enough talent to keep them all competitive? The NFL is talking of even expanding more with teams in London and Mexico City. Would there be more interest if we had fewer "stars" and they be really the 'cream of the crop'?
b.) No loyalty between players and teams, teams and players, teams and cities, cities and teams. In corporate America, we no longer see people retiring having spent 30 years with one firm. Companies are bout out. Recent college grads replace experience due to cost of overhead. Players prostitute themselves during free agency, looking for the highest bidder.
c.) Players are over-paid thugs. A baseball pitcher just signed a contract for $80 million. Are we tired of seeing people out of work, constant "news" organizations reporting unemployment numbers, and still seeing millionaire athletes and their entourages? \
d.) Has the move to fantasy football actually hurt interest in the various teams? Do people get more excited about specific players that a team or the game itself?
e.) Or, are we just tiring of the game and want to see something new... like guys in metal armor riding horses at each other with long spears in their hands.
I was enjoying the women's pro football league much more then the NFL but would've preferred smaller uniforms such as thong bottoms and pasties.

And when those unshaven 300 lb. offensive lineladies bend over just before the ball is snapped........ their boobs touch the ground before their knuckles... and the camera microphone picks up two of them farting at the same time................. I think I'll stay with the NFL and fully clothed players.

A quandry I have this week, root for the Broncos to beat the Patriots which would put them just 2 games ahead of Miami with 2 to play but that would also put the Broncos ahead of the Fins for a Wildcard spot. Or root for the Pats which would almost kill any chance for Denver for the post season?

When in doubt, pull against New England.

Stupid Chiefs!!! Andy Reed has always been faulted for his clock management. Screwed up in the first half. Then, ahead by 1 with 2 minutes left. Titans ball. Titans moved the ball downfield to where they had time for a 53 years field goal to win. Long snapper was just snapping the ball when Reed called time. Kicker came up short so Chiefs would have won. Second chance, Titan's kicker nails it and beat Chiefs by 2. Ouch!

Was my wife's fault. First game all year that she didn't wear her Chief's shirt on NFL Sunday.

Broncos have defined a new level of mediocrity........it's called suckriocity.
Living just south of Nashville I have adopted the Titans the rest of the way in. The Broncos are still defending champs but the wheels have fallen off the last few weeks. :(

I bet you go to the casino and root for the house too don't ya?
It was not easy rooting for the Pats in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I have enjoyed the past 15 years immensely. If that's rooting for the house, guilty as charged,
