I've barely cracked a smile at one in years. Anyone who says they (or the lame-ass halftime show) are the best part of the game doesn't like pro sports but doesn't want to be left out of the conversation. I am actually considering recording the game and watching it later so I can fast-forward through them.

LOL, NFL sucks period...I'll start watching again when hitting a QB is legal.

Meanwhile, the fastest growing segment of NFL fans are female...I'll stop there.:lol:

Well, that accounts for all the drama infused into the sport lately.

Its getting sickening. Goodell has turned football into a Disney movie. Every year I get less and less excited for the upcoming season. 5 more years of Goodell, and the sport will be so unrecognizable they may as well change the name...

Hi ho, hi ho...it's off the charts we go...with daytime drama that is. I don't care about these players personal bullshit, seems like the actual games are now sideshows.

30 years ago we had fun with it, players drinking cases of beer in one sitting was no big deal...mainly b/c they rarely got into trouble.

As for the ads, I've seen a few...Budweiser does a nice job selling shitty beer via puppies. And then there's the NFL dad ads, nice but do we really want to get all sentimental during a game?...**** no. We want to drink and be entertained, which is the reason we all watch sports to begin with. It's a healthy distraction from the constant real life drama we all experience.

So the ads suck as well.

My apologies to any ladies who are reading(if we even have any:p). It was not my intention of belittling or degrading in any way, the previous comment was referencing rule changes. Women are less apt to notice this, due to fewer playing the game as opposed to men.

I actually agree, but I cannot pretend like the numbers don't show my lack of enthusiasm isn't being offset by millions and millions of more casual fans more interested in seein 55-48 games and Madden numbers in the passing game for their ESPN fantasy teams than old school, knock em down 21-17 type affairs where people out physical/defend/punt/cover each other like I grew up on for the most part.

In the end the NFL is a business.....they are making decisions to simply maximize profitability and mainstream appeal, and I cannot get mad at that.

This is why I am more of a CFB fan than an NFL fan these days. Not that all the elements above aren't seen at all in the college game, but it's just a more interesting sport overall at this point. You don't have 4-6 QBs just dominating for a decade, and there is a lot more variety in the types of defenses/offenses run.

I did enjoy the puppy bowl and kitty half time show. Tuned in to the big game just before kickoff avoiding almost all the hype and enjoyed myself thoroughly.

Couple cool movie trailers.

Otherwise I agree that the commercials sucked this year.

There was a lot less on the funny and more on the fun, tugging heart strings, or a serious message. Perhaps because the every SB commercial needs to be over the top funny has become trite....and the whole NFL domestic violence issue.

I'm happy to say that I did not waste 4 hours of my life for only 13 minutes of the ball in play.

I'm happier to say that there's a miasmic depression that befell our office today after the Sehawks lost.

At least I got my Hockey fix and the Rugby World cup is this year! :)

The "run like a girl" commercial was one of the worst I've ever seen. So sick of the feminist propaganda.

Yeah, I didn't get that one. I was like, "seriously?"

I liked the Liam Neeson one with the mobile game. My daughter plays that game religiously, so I was able to relate to it.
