1. They ruined New Years Day. What used to be the greatest football day of the year. I never cared

about having a playoff.

Last New Years Day, I decided I should be watching football and didn't even know what games were on. I start watching one and they're talking about all the top draft prospects not even bothering to play in their team's games. It's so far removed from what we had back in the 70's, it's no wonder I barely give a shit any more.

Star player just sitting out because of their draft prospects. Either the game is a crock or they are. They expect the schools fans to travel and buy tickets and that crap happens. That has nothing to do with what I ever thought a football team was about. I was lineman of the year on my high school team.

I get in this dudes bowl game pool every year. If I'm still in it when New Years Day rolls around, I might watch.
