AGREED! On all points:
NFL
Politics
The movie industry
Watch the introduction to either Sunday or Monday Night Football (with the exception of the Gifford intro which is usually awesome). They are simply over the top and gawdy. The one with Faith Hill is excruciatingly awful. Blasting the two helmets into outer space....embarassing.
Anything ESPN has become too much to handle....overproduced and disney-fied (The ABC announcers used to have to plug Dancing with the Stars during MNF). Sickening. Watching a tough man like Ditka perform like a monkey in their stupid fukng skits hurts me from the inside out.
Tiki Barber telling his team half way through his final season DURING A PLAYOFF DRIVE that he has to consider his TV career. Repulsive.
Monster rookie contracts
Guaranteed contracts
Endorsement $
Holdouts
Obsession with fantasy teams
Celebrity players/coaches with entertainment agents.
Michael Crabtree shouldn't earn more than a rookie minimum this season for missing camp. That should be a league rule.
Chest thumping and celebrating making a regular tackle, making a regular catch or any other regular positive moment. Everyone wants to be on the highlight reel.
Cleveland, Oak, KC and Buf stadiums should be empty and sh-tty, mediocre matchups should have zero viewers.
G/Hip-Hop lifestyle - How much talent and money goes into these idiots that cant stop themselves from getting into trouble?
We have become an empty culture OBSESSED with celebrity. We mindlessly consumed the product and never demanded anything better...
Don't settle for the product if you think that they can do better. It's not on them, it's on us....they don't look like they need $.
