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.

I'm one of the older posters on this site, 78 and counting. To me football is not about the game anymore, its about the money, and I blame Goodell for that. The changes that he has instituted, in my opinion, have ruined, or are ruining
the game. Kickoffs are not kickoffs anymore, you have to make appointments with the opposition for onside kicks, breathe on a QB and its a penalty. I to used to get excited when draft day approached, but Goodell has turned that into a circus also. Friday morning I'll check to see who the Colts drafted, but the excitement is long gone !!!!!
