NFL or is it......No Football Left.

I about reached the end of the line with the NFL and the game they call football, it's not football anymore at least not the football anybody over the age of 30 would remember! The next step is to wear flags or just play two hand touch so no one gets a bruise or sore body part.

It's been driving me crazy for a year or so now maybe longer with all the crap players can't do or get penalized for doing these days. I see more yellow hankies being tossed around than footballs and the men in the stripped shirts get more TV time than the players or coaches or cheerleaders! The game has become a real pussy's game if you ask me. Oh sure we don't want to see players get life threatening injures but holy cow can we see someone hit or even touch an offensive player without getting flagged and penalized? Pass interference has become a complete joke, since when is an official charged with controlling the outcome of a game. This happened and almost happened a few times Sunday and Monday too! God even stepped in at the Cardinals game when with time running out an official decided to call a ticky tack pass interference to allow the Raiders to win the game with time expiring by kicking a winning field goal...................not so fast said the football gods, this kicker that can kick one from 62 yards plus and never misses from 30 to 39 yards yanked one left and the referee was foiled once more.

Tell me how a defensive player with the speeds they have today can stop on a dime when some fool in strips decides to blow his whistle, or how does a 6 foot player run straight into another 6 foot player without these big ass helmets possibly touching each other? There you go, a helmet to the head whether it's incidental or not or if it just brushes against the other face guard in passing.................helmet to helmet, personal foul 15 yards and a first down to maybe win the game or at least change the outcome in most circumstances!

And like I said, pass interference is totally bullshit nine out of ten times, are we that worried about scoring that we need to hand offenses touchdowns and new life when the ref feels like changing the game a bit. Is this right out of a "wild buffalo wings" commercial or what?

We need to play a game or two without referees, let the players police themselves and see what a real football game should look like. These young people of today would probably be horrified by the play of the likes of Butkus, or the steel curtain, or Max Magee or Howie Long, or you could go on and on and on with tough guys from the real NFL. Holy cow how many yards would Walter Payton have run for if now one could have touched him in fear of hurting him or getting penalized, how long could Johnny U stayed in the pocket and competed 100's more passes knowing no one could hit him for fear of a personal foul penalty. The game today is for rich pussy's that do drugs and drive fast cars while drinking booze, or sitting on the sidelines with a sore toe rather than playing through pain. No this is not football and don't kid yourself if you think it is, even I played flag for an Air Force team and took more hits that these fat dudes of today's game......and we drank after the game not on the way to the game.

We need to change the name in the NFL, something other that "football" for the F and let the Euro's keep the word football since they actually can hit one another!
