The sport itself has lost some magic for me. I presume it's worse for you old guys here but now that I'm closer to 40 than 30 I see it more than I ever have before. In my youth I would roll my eyes at assertions that players of yesterday would have dominated today, but now I see a sport that just does not require the same type of men, durability, nor toughness and I kind of understand. I fell in love with this game because it wasn't like the other games, it required so much more than basketball, baseball, etc.
Of course some of that is still there but I have found myself watching a lot of vintage football recently. I don't find today's game nearly as interesting so I do not find myself digging through draft prospects like I may have in years past. Perhaps that has more to do with the apathy enabled by this franchise though, so there's that.

And then you read a story about a draft prospect whose dad made him watch film on John Riggins and tell him that’s how you play football!!! And the colts have the potential to get that guy, yea it’s still gets me excited and I’m 43 years old now
