Furthermore ... if I want to see scantily- or not-clad women, there are ... sources ... for that, what does that have to do with football or music?

As a response to the 1992 Super Bowl switch telling people to switch to Fox at halftime to see In Living Color in response to the perceived lame SB programming at that time.
Smaller quicker linebackers are nowhere near as fun as the LBs from the other decades.
The biggest reason teams don't have FBs anymore is because the RBs and QBs aren't getting hit so hard that their helmets pop off.
The NFL would have been more fun if Alstott was a trend and not viewed as an outlier or freak. There's big fellas out there that can run, find em!
Why did the fridge trend die for pushing tushes? That was a bad decision.
I often see pics of these 5-8 165 pound guys without shoulder pads on and wonder how they survive. I avoid them in drafts but also am sure if health professionals studied their bodies, there would be some scientific advancement from it.

As a season ticketholder, I pay the same amount for pre-season tickets as I do for regular season games. I would prefer those games be regular season games as well. Personally, I don't care if the players increase their risk of injury by playing more games, they're well compensated for it.

What do you mean? I can give plenty of examples of the number 17 being used in every day life. For example:
What’s the number after 16 and before 18?
What number, besides 1, is 17 divisible by?
And most importantly,
How many games are there in the NFL regular season?
Snoopy
Footballguy
Depends on the team. Lambeau Field tickets are discounted 50% for pre-season games.
Nothing has topped Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES.
Mistakes Were Made
Footballguy
From the old days when RBs were so much more valuable than WRs that we had to add extra rules like PPR and 3 WR slots. Now get off my lawn.
Cowboys have one but they barely used him last year. I just love his college tape

And if anything slides just lead to more injuries because these QBs abuse it and slide last minute so the defender has to make a super human play in both split second decision making and acrobatics to avoid them.

Thursday night football is an abomination and it also ruined fantasy football as it turned it into a full time job instead of something fun to look forward to as the work week was ending

I mean this seems more a function of who they've booked rather than the actual concept. Last good HT show was what, Prince?

Music-wise, the last artists that I can remember whose work I like were Coldplay and Tom Petty. I don't really even like Prince. But the point ultimately is that almost all live music is still more about the "performance" which I just find irritating. There is a spectrum of garbageness to it, but even at the better end of the spectrum, I don't like live music. I couldn't care less if my favorite band is right in front of me or in Timbuktu right now, their music sounds best as studio recordings.
Guess one thing I don't agree with my fellow similar aged fantasy players on is that I love me some Thursday Night Football and think the airing of games on non-traditional days is one of the best things Goodell has done since he was commissioner. Just wish I did not need multiple streaming services to watch them all.

In the Stud RB era, they were much more valuable than WRs. PPR helped balance that out. Now that RBs are less valuable in the NFL game, WRs are more valuable in fantasy. Maybe instead of a full point PPR we should switch to half point PPR to balance things back out.

I absolutely miss changing the channel for some Simpsons or In Living Color etc. during halftime.
And bring back the Bud Bowl
maybe this is old school. I dislike turf and most I read about it. I enjoy reading about the guys that tend to the grass and all they do.
Maybe it's present as it's still a prob, the same prob with almost identical articles to ones from 1989 like "these guys got hurt so we're using this one which is better" and it's sooo tired.
Maybe I'm a dork about fields but I actually owned a VCR tape of baseball fields and loved all the old guys saying how they do this n that to the grass. I just find it fascinating. Also the lie that if I didn't work for a living, I'd do that to my lawn and it would look fantastic. As if that's what I'd do with free time but....ramble ramble I appreciate the craftsmanship or some word that they put into grass surfaces

Agree 100%.
I love watching football. Any team. Any time. So while Thursday games throws a wrinkle in the weekly cadence of fantasy football, I like the option of watching an “extra” game each week.

while I see where you are going unfortunately this would encourage and create even more conspiracy theorists.....why did the "sky" stop play and review this play for the Chiefs....but not this play for the Raiders....
I still think replay has a place in the game to change obvious missed calls. That can be done in a combo of challenges from coaches and the "sky". What needs to change is super duper slo-mo replay reviews where they are debating miniscule issues that are basically a coin flip they are so cloase and can be argued either way. In those cases just stick with the call on the field as close enough and move on. This could be really that simple.
All reviews can be slowed to at most half speed and in 30 seconds you have to decide if the call is changed. If you can't do it in 30 seconds the call on the field was good enough and move on.
Just watch the UFL use the XFL and USFL method.
It's so simple, obvious, and lacks any followup venom or contempt whatsoever.
The NFL has absolutely no standing to say their methods are better.

Boomer hot take 2028 "What's with all these International teams today? Back in my day, games were played in Merica. London Jaguars... there are no jaguars in London! Mexico Browns... though they do make me hungry for burritos on game day. Shame Cleveland missed a superbowl ring TWICE right after their franchise left town. Terrible luck!"

I thought the Mexico Browns is what you get after eating a questionable burrito?

Completely agree. The super slow fails to account for the bang bang play where something happens nearly simultaneously. When you go frame by frame, sometimes you can tell a story that just isn’t true, as we’ve all seen.
I have an opposite of a boomer (millennial?) take.
I think DUIs are grossly under punished, especially in situations where someone could have died. What Rashee Rice did bothers me a lot more than what Deshaun Watson did, not a defense of Watson at all, who is horrible, but nobody could have died. I hate this old school mentality of boys will be boys when it comes to drunk (and to a lesser extent reckless) driving.
If I were Roger Goodell, 1st offense for DUI is a 1-year suspension, 2nd offense is banishment from the league. Don't care who the player is. If that leads to some HOF level guy being kicked out of the NFL, so be it.

Non-boomer take: The various rule changes made to protect the QB have made the game better. Yes, the QB is now wearing a skirt, but games are more fun when passers are not routinely blown up on busted plays.
Boomer take: Fix the broadcasts. Get rid of TNF and make that game a 4:00 ET instead. All games air on networks, not exclusive streaming services. ST includes all games. No games played outside the US. The draft takes place a month earlier on a Saturday and Sunday.

The opposite of this. The NFL is not a court of law, and I'm tired of litigating who should be suspended for what. If a guy is walking around a free man, he should be eligible to play on Sunday. If Ben Roethlisberger got to play, then some guy who had one too many is fine in my books.

Definitely agree here. Would make Red Zone a lot more interesting for the late games, when it's usually just a small handful going on to begin with.

The tv timeout, the principle of it in the first place is ridiculous. Lets pause the game so we can let insurance companies and breweries advertize to us?
How this happened the first place notwithstanding, it seems to have gotten worse.
And back in my day the staduim was named after the city or the team or some historical figure. I think when the citizens of city have to build the damn stadium for the billionaire owner, they should get to name it. And if m&t bank wants a stadium, they should have to build it.

Mostly on the hitting rules, even though it’s right.
Anytime a logo changes and doesn’t remind me of the 90’s
Some of the divisions.
7 playoff teams.
I’m not good with change.
