Yeah, it's kind of a conundrum. I love watching football, but I would never play, and I would definitely not want my kids to play.
I am very much in favor of doing things to reduce the many grotesque long-term effects of the game if it meant still having it around.

In my experience following the NFLsince 1996 and living in Redskins land until last year, 3-6 is something you'd think Skins fans would have been long-accustomed to.
You know when I joke with newbies in the intro section about atheists barbecuing kittens, you are one of those atheists who actually do it.

I did play when I was young. I have the wrecked knee to prove it.

Wanted to add - when the dust finally settles, we may find out that neither of the AFC West heavyweights come out on top, at least not in the end. Everyone talks up the Broncos, and to a lesser extent KC, but there's someone else to watch out for.
I'm referring to Indianapolis - who has had a tougher schedule than Denver or KC - beating SF, Seattle, and Denver, with KC still on the schedule. AFC North leader Cincinnati is also in the schedule.
With a two-game lead over the inconsistent Titans in the NFC South, the Colts will probably win the division, and if not, they are keeping pace for the wildcard race. It seems unlikely that they would not earn a playoff berth.
What happens when they play KC and Cincy matters - if they beat Cincy, it's very likely that their first round playoff will be against a team they have already beat. If they beat KC, they will have beat all of this year's elite teams on their schedule.
The AFC playoffs look to be interesting.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I'd love to finally try a fantasy league, but I'll leave it up to someone else to operate it. I don't know enough about how it all works.

It would be an honor. I have 3 teams this year, and I'm the comish in one. It's really not hard at all to manage it. So long as we can coordinate a live draft together...that's the best part!
