"IMO, the NFL is falling because of all the damn ads. The greedy billionaire owners and networks have stuffed a typical game with as much ad time as playing. A typical game lasts one hour, add in the TO's and the penalty times, plus half time, and you'll get around 1:40 of actual game, yet damn near all the games go over 3.5 hours, so are you watching a football game interrupted by commercials or a long-running commercial interrupted by a football game? Besides, who cares if the multi-millionaire players from Chicago beat the multi-millionaire players from Dallas? Greg"
