Hey Man, you're kids about to to go for the swirly ride! Unless that's just a big arse toilet. One that size would make the mornings a little easier. It's like the all in one. You could incorporate it into the 3 S's in the morning. Not that I would want to, but you could..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two groups of very physically talented, and intelligent, individuals going at it on a field of a hundred yards. Boil it down as you will, but, what I saw was a great game, battle of wills. They get paid the money because they can do what you and I can't, showed on the field tonight. Ever played the game? I only did in HS, was tough for me then. Can't imagine what it's like at that level. Vegas tries to make money on whether Punxsutawney Phil will come out of the hole or not. It's ROI, they make their franchises dough because people watch, in bunches. How many sporting events close the nation as the Super Bowl, none. I agree with everything except the intelligent part. Google the average IQ of a pro football player, it's pretty sad. 5 hours ago, Arrow#422 said: It's still stupid money, paid to grown men - and women, to play a GAME. Contracts in the $100's of millions are being paid to individuals negating the ability of an average fan to even attend a game. Is a sports player worth a BILLION dollars over the course of a career? WOW, I say no. As I age, I see the ridiculousness of it all especially the "made for television" stages that are sold to the masses. Great reason for a get together party though, but to get hung up on the outcome of the game - not so much. Pappy used to say: Will this matter in 100 years? If not, then........do not be at all bothered by it. I don't blame the players for the high cost of attending a game. I really do not have a problem with these athletes making the money they do. If I'm the best in the world at something, I should be compensated for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I don't turn the game on until after the national anthem and never ever watch the half time show or the after game interviews. I believe I still have the recording floating around somewhere of the old halftime show when the "You know what" was exposed in high definition.

I don't think it's an age thing as much as it's as folks get older they realize there are more important things to contemplate. I find it interesting more Americans seem to care about these games than what is going on in the real world. On that note, I think younger Americans are starting to get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as folks focus on the game they forget about reality. That's my 2 cents. Btw, I don't think this is a new phenomena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him surely beats scouring media for a bunch of negative stories about what's wrong with our society. To hell with all that. Back to football....
