The NFL is getting killed by the election will it have a hang over?

9. It's Bad TV. Simple As That.

The NFL is the Fox News of broadcast sports. They pump in the fake patriotism - and you BETTER CONFORM TO IT OR ELSE - with what until recently was secretly paid military flyover involvement. Absolutely everything is over-the-top capitalism, just trying to dig into your wallet. Just look at the actual broadcasts aside from the garbage they pump in through your teevee before the game even starts. How many times have we seen this sequence:

1. Field goal
2. Commercials
3. Kickoff
4. Commercials
5. Run a play or two - end of quarter/injury/time-out
6. Commercials

I'm a lifelong Packer fan, and for kicks I actually paid attention to stuff like this during last week's game. In 18 minutes of real time during one stretch, viewers saw FOUR plays from scrimmage. That didn't include a halftime, either - just the end of a quarter.

Mark Cuban may be proven right - hogs get slaughtered. You couple all of this with the legitimate concerns about concussions and CTE and you've got a leauge that's slowing down.

Fine with me.
