    I have an idea for the NFL....

    It hit me this weekend what the NFL needs to do to take the next step.
    My idea will maximize viewership allowing growth of Sunday Ticket sales and allow more games to be seen every week.
    It will emphasize player safety without adding rules or tackling restrictions.
    It will appease the majority of fans who seem to tune in every week while disappointing only a few.

    My idea ?
    5 minute games!!

    Why ?.... because the first 55 minutes are utterly fucking useless.

    I simply don't find excitement in watching games where nearly everything is meaningless happenstance until the final minutes where defensive ineptitude reigns supreme , home fields mean nothing , and the only thing that matters is who battles the clock best and who can cram the most scores out of the final two minutes. NFL is essentially the NBA where you can watch the final period and not really have missed anything significant. Where teams score continuously in swings and for the most part defenses are only there to maximize a stupid mistake if it comes up.

    Ray Lewis getting praised for 14 tackles while his D gives up almost 40 and "willing" his team to victory by missing half his tackles and whiffing on 3 potential drive stoppers.
    Manning getting grief over a loss because his dumbass safety couldn't turn his hips on a punt of pass.
    Sea/Atl coaches making two glaring bonehead decisions that should have cost there teams there games.

    Only smart guy this week is Bellyflop who is once again prepping his team for the SB by building it for the modern game of pass pass pass pass whoopsy they fucked up we win.

    BTW Anyone else think the 3-4 defense has run its course as the dominant setup ? Front 7 alignment seems to be irrelevant and having hot pass rushers the only thing separating defenses from each other.

                This could be said for anything if you're a ADHD impatient cokehead.

                1. All you need to do is watch last 2 minutes of an NBA game.

                2. Just watch final 5 minutes of NFL game.

                3. Oh this movie is too long, just goto IMDB or WIKI and read the ending.

                4. All sports is too long just goto ESPN.com and look at boxscores.

                5. Life is too long I'm commit suicide.

                6. Waiting for Christmas is too long lemme sneak my presents early.

                7. This porn is too long I'm fast forward to the good parts and cum.

                8. This post is TL;DR

                    When scoring is a foregone conclusion and not a difficult feat it diminishes the importance of early portions of a game. That's on top of taking away the uniqueness of it. Random wild shootout of nearly 100 pts with wild finish is becoming common. Ari/GB should still be the wildest game weve seen in years...instead we get one like it every year.

                      Just think of the old days when you'd go to the DMV, stand in line for hours before the smart phone was invented.

                        I have no idea why any one runs the ball, on a Pass you can eith get A Completion, A Pass Interference, Helmet to helmet, Ruffing the passer, Defensive Holding. there is no such thing as a un-catchable ball ... Def is out there for show its all about TDs ... witch players are not to celebrate

                              1. Ray Lewis' defense did not give up almost 40 points. The Broncos scored 14 on special teams. So really the Ravens D actually gave up 21.

                              2. Home field advantage means nothing? Only 1 road team won this week and it was a double overtime game.

                              3. Manning deserves the criticism. He didn't play that well. It's funny how the same guys that blame Brett Favre or Drew Brees for similar mistakes want to defend Manning for whatever reason. He is undeniably one of the GOAT, but he was a huge reason why the Broncos lost (as was the defense).

                              4. If you didn't find any excitement in the games this weekend then you should stop watching football because you obviously don't enjoy it anymore. The games this weekend were flat out awesome.

                              5. Quit being such a debbie downer.
