Favorite team and Super Bowl for commercials and halftime show since it’s been years for The Raiders at Super Bowl. We always skipped Pro Bowl. Have always felt it’s not needed and kind of boring.
Lately though, the NFL has become boring and there’s a lot of cracks. Although Gruden wasn’t the best NFL coach, those email leaks although his conduct was clearly wrong, the NFL immediately squashed all other leaks/conduct to be publicly known. Which means they are hiding a lot. Hence Gruden’s lawsuit which will be settled out of court for an undisclosed amount in the multi-millions.
There’s also a huge shortage the past couple of years of quality players especially quarterbacks. With the upcoming draft this spring, it’s an known issue where teams have been trying to talk to retired quarterbacks into coming back.
With Rogers airing his grievances, Brady’s temper tantrums, A player retiring during halftime (forgive me don’t know his name off hand), Antonio Brown’s (granted his has major off the field issues plus no doubt CTE) yesterday walk off mid game, I think we’re going to see more of that going forward due to the The Great Resignation and/or Speak Out movement.
We ditched the Olympics last year due to the treatment of athletes. Like everything else sports overall is in a transition/change period.
Long story short. We’ve been less interested lately. Could be an age thing with us, or it’s just not fun anymore, or life is getting in the way, or the direction sports overall is heading, or a combination of the above. We’re not as glued in as we once were.
