plenzmd1 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The Saturday afternoon games used to really get me in the Christmas spirit. Always enjoyed going out shopping, stopping in for lunch at 12.30 to watch the game somehwere, go out and a little more shopping done, and then back in the bar for a few beers and to watch the end of the earl game and the start of the 4.00Pm game. Spose thats what lots of people did, hense the ratings sucked... But bring back my Saturday NFL football!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rackemrack Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 and what a pivotal, blockbuster of a game that will be. a snooze-fest for sure, but i'm sure it looked promising last year when the schedule was made and both teams actually looked good.

Spose thats what lots of people did, hense the ratings sucked... But bring back my Saturday NFL football!!! I don't know why the NFL isn't having games on Saturdays this year, but college football should be using these Saturdays in December to PLAY-OFF towards their national championship. Check out the articles today on the Division 3 Champions - Wisc. Whitewater. They just finished their second consecutive 15-0 season. Yes, 15 games played by the last two college football teams in Division 3, where they don't even offer those kids scholarships! Yet in major college football, where not only do the players get everything in their lives basically free, they barely even need to go to class, they finish playing their 12 games, then get anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks vacation before playing their 13th and final game of the season. And it is just soooooo exciting isn't it? Especially for the 3rd through 8th ranked teams, playing in their bowl games to decide....nothing. When they should be playing each other and the number 1 and 2 teams in a "BCS Playoff." Of course later on in the year, they can take breaks from their winter work outs in March to watch the basketball players from their respective schools playing in the NCAA Tournament if they make it, only the most exciting sporting event on television next to a good Super Bowl. But hey, they always have next year right? When they battle only about 300 Division 1 teams for TWO freakin' "playoff spots" right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
