Packers - Vikings 2017- Round #1, But First, The State of the NFL!

NFL Football - The best way to describe the NFL in the 2017 season ugly!

Reason #1 - Politics 

You cannot just go and enjoy the game, you have to listen to WHY, some players are kneeling, staying in the locker room, or just trying to make a political statement.

Reason #2 - Media

Everything that happens in the sports world today is magnified 1000 times!  Calls by the officials!  Celebrations after touchdowns!  Coaches & player comments! And yes, starting the game by counting how many players are kneeling!!!

Reason #3 - Injuries

Wow!  This week - JJ Watt & Odel Beckham!  Every week, teams juggle the 53 man roster, just to get through the next game!  Getting through the next game, does NOT make a quality game!

Reason #4 - Player's Union

Yes, players can only hit once a week, can only fraction once a day.  High School players are doing more football practice than the professionals!

Reason #5 - Strength Programs

Players are BIGGER, STRONGER & FASTER!  They look like Greek Gods!  Are they too big?  The muscles are bigger, but the tendons & ligaments are NOT!  Can the human body handle this larger athlete and survive week to week?

Reason #6 - The NFL Schedule

Sunday Football, now - Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football!

And, playing in London!  The athlete has not time to recover!  An finally tuned athlete NEEDS a set routine!  These players DO NOT have a set routine!

Reason #7 - The Game Day Experience

Have you been to a game?  Two minutes of play TV Timeout! Three minutes of play TV Timeout! Two minutes of play TV Timeout! Four minutes of play TV Timeout! Two minutes of play TV Timeout! Five minutes of play TV Timeout! The athlete does not handle this!  The FAN cannot handle this!

Reason #8 - $$$$$$$$$$$$

Yes, the NFL is a business!  Players & Owners Greed is out of control!  Owners are billionaires, players are millionaires!  GREED!

OK, this Packer Buddy is finished!  I LOVE football!  I grew up watch it!  Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Rodger Staubach, Mean Joe Green, etc!  The ICE BOWL!  The first Super Bowls!  I LOVE the game, but I'm losing MY game!  Are you?
