Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?

Probably.

 

Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?

What about it is boring to you?

 

Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?

Nope. Still baseball season at my house.

When is it not baseball season at your house, buckdubs?

 

Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?

No. I'm kind of with you. If I didn't have a fantasy team, I'd barely watch. For all the hype about the NFL, most games are grind-it-out 24-17 type affairs where neither team takes many risks. The college game is much more fun to watch.

 

Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?

I'm with you, Hoops.

I rarely, if ever, watch a whole game.

 

Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?


Count me in the college crowd, football and also basketball.

 

Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?

So you find the NFL boring, but you're fascinating by playing make-believe football with your friends.

Sure.

Dec. 17th from 12:15 am thru 12:27 am.

Bucky is all about football for those 12 minutes!

 

Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?

The games have long been boring. Even if I'm at a live game, I feel a bit tired midway through the second quarter. I don't get my energy back up until about five minutes remaing in the game.

 

Re: am i the only who finds the nfl boring?

I go back and forth between the collegiate and the professional level, but I've come to realize that each have their own pluses and minuses and should be treated almost differently.

If I want a raucous fan base, a game with plenty of risks and innovation and outside-the-box action, I'll choose the college game. But when I tune in on Sunday, I'm looking for a more disciplined, evenly-matched, fundamentally-sound contest that is much more predictable and much less innovative.

Depending on the year, I'll find either the college game or the NFL boring. Right now, I'd tend to agree with you. But for the previous five years, I was always a big NFL guy. Just a cycle to me.
