Some Idiot thinks the NFL is dull!

Ok, this guy actually gets PAID to write these articles. I can't find a single thing here that i agree with.

"Having the NFL go dark for a year or two might be more entertaining than the dreck the league has foisted upon fans in the salary cap era. Yes, the NFL is the economic model the NHL, NBA and MLB aspire to-it has cost certainty, a passive union, rich owners and financially thriving franchises in every corner of the country. That's enough to whip accountants and labor lawyers into a frenzy every Sunday. But football fans -- the ones who wipe off their face paint long enough to take a clear look at what they're watching, anyway -- know that the NFL is excruciatingly dull to watch.

It's not quite the pre-lockout NHL, but it's close. Talent is diluted, and players are little more than interchangeable parts who can shift seamlessly from one team to another. There are too many franchises, and too few of them have a distinct personality, style or edge. The league likes to call that parity. I call it a league where everyone is equally mediocre."

Does anyone agree with this Joker?

Not more dull than Baseball where guys stand around spitting and grabbing their twins, or soccer where you get one-two goals a game, or Nascar guys driving around in left circled for three hours...the NFL has everything...this author probably loves Curling and women's golf. :sidelol:

i don't find any real sport dull (i'm excluding nascar for the obvious reasons), because i care about the game itself, not player movement or whatever. this guy is probably a fan of a team that lost a good player to free agency and he's bitter. or he's just an idiot.

i think what hes trying to get at is the quality of play, not the game itself. Too many young players are being asked to perform right away, they arent being given time to develop. i also agree with him that teams dont have identities anymore (i.e. cowboys of the 90's, bears of the 80's, 49ers of the 90's, steelers of the 70's). Just look at QBs today. There are about 5-8 QBs that are considered above average. The rest are just plain garbage.

With that said, I still prefer the NFL to anything else
