I have not watched any of the game. For half of it, we were out of town visiting my son in the hospital, but we got home at halftime. I have been checking the score, but do not feel like watching it. I have been pretty checked out on football all year, which is weird because I have been a fan for a long time, and played through freshman year in college.
It is not the anthem protests, believe me, as the Looney Toons theme would be more appropriate than the national anthem to open a NFL game. I think the main thing is the head injuries, suicides like Andre Waters, Junior Seau, and Dave Ryerson Nd horrors like Jovan Belcher have really gotten to me. The whole argument about anthem protests sucked from both sides, and it just did not feel like any fun to watch.
I think I am headed back to baseball.

Yeah I hope your son is ok. I don’t know diddley about American football, I did the graphics for the super bowl when it was here in SF. I had to keep checking the names and faces because I had no clue who they were! I listen to NPR in the morning and the concussion thing sounds pretty bad and you can’t make a jello brain in the noggin safer for the impact.

Family is much more important that sports ball. If you are going with a different professional sport I would say hockey over baseball but you don’t exactly live in the land of hockey now do you?
On a related note do you follow any auto racing? WEC, Rally, F1, etc?

I have two boys, 3 and 11mo, so... yeah. No words. Regarding football, I played too and always dreamed of coaching my kids too, but I agree with you. I had hope when the targeting rules started, but the actual application of those rules has been so confusing and inconsistent that I now think it’s all just liability-dodging smoke and mirrors. The science is progressing, but the rules aren’t following. It makes me super sad to admit that my boys probably won’t play the sport I love the most.

I’m not a fan of it, but this one was actually good. Possibly the best I’ve seen. Too bad it went on forever.
