What it comes down to is I just don’t see what everyone sees in the NFL. I don’t think it’s particularly entertaining football (I find college football way more entertaining, from the different formations and schemes in college to the way individuals can dominate on a level they can’t in the NFL, to feeling like there’s more space to work with in college football that lets more fun stuff happen to more entertaining rules like what linemen can do on screens to OT rules). I don’t think it’s very localized – all broadcasts are national broadcasts, which sucks for a variety of reasons. They’re willing to black out local games. You don’t get the same familiarty with the team and players you do when it’s more of a local thing – instead they spend a lot of their time talking about national storylines, other teams, and the like. The storylines are sooooooo overplayed it’s painful. You don’t get the same sort of atmosphere college sports breed. The NFL has no problem screwing over its customers – from blacking out local games, to the amount of money everything costs, to the limits they put on which games get broadcasted. There just aren’t that many games on a given Sunday anymore, and most of them are crappy matchups nobody cares about. At least with more selection I could find a crappy matchup I find interesting for some reason or another (like Lions v Packers!).

I guess I’m just tired of the NFL. I gave it some thought, and realized it doesn’t offer that appealing of a product. I used to be like everyone else. I did my fantasy sports, watched every Sunday….and then I realized….I don’t have to. I can have my Sundays back. The NFL really isn’t very appealing! It was like a great burden was lifted off me. :)

Also, I agree with CruzinBears:

Yes the level of play isn’t as high, but I believe this leads to many weird circumstances and unexpected mistakes that create a more exciting "anything can happen" atmosphere, that many NFL games lack.
