NFL Madness
What the he** is going on in the NFL? Peyton Manning's leaving the Colts? Drew Brees won't sign a contract? The Saints have a bounty system? The Cowboys are in desperate need of a quarterback? Oh wait....that one's old news. I'm not sure if it's because I just didn't notice when I was younger, but there sure seems to be a great deal of public interest in the business side of the NFL these days. Personally I don't care, because I believe in free markets and I believe that the owners should be able to pay whatever they want to pay their players. But hey, the last thing we need is another debate on the matter, right? After all, everyone has an opinion. People complain that the pros "make too much money." Seriously, what could possibly be your motive in that besides envy? I do not care what they make, I just love the sports & I love watching the sport. Someone fires a coach, or coughs without covering their mouth, and it's all over ESPN for a day. I switched from the Sirius NFL Radio Channel to the Fox News Channel because I got bored with the live public address from Peyton Manning & Colts' Owner Jim Ursay, and it was playing on Fox as well! Again, I love the sport, but is it really that important? Speculation is fun, but I think public involvement with the business side of things has gotten out of hand. Peyton - find another team. Drew - sign a contract. Goodell - fine the Saints, everybody else - Let's play ball!

I'm not a fan of football, so I always feel lost when people talk about it!
