NFL = ?
Yes, and my NASCAR viewing has decreased a great deal over the last five years. I used to watch every race, now I may watch four complete races a year (Bristol, Daytona, Talledega, maybe Martinsville and Richmond). The NFL and NASCAR are very similar in their corporate structure.

NFL = ?
No Fun League? National Commercial League? Why does the league and their broadcast partners feel the need to go to commercial after a touchdown, come back for the kickoff, go to another commercial, then back to the game? At least the league is pretty good about completing games in three hours or so. As for the No Fun League comparisons, I am constantly amazed at the lengths to which the league goes to ensure ocnformity. God forbid someone wore the wrong socks or gloves. IMO over the last 20 years the NFL has gotten too big for their britches. While I'm on the subject, why not give everyone four games every afternoon? Why must the league restrict broadcasts? Wny not give their fans two games on Fox and two on CBS every Sunday afternoon? The NFL's broadcast rules are more convoluted and inane than the IRS tax code. Yesterday afternoon was a perfect example. The Tennessee/Pittsburgh game ends, there is only one 1PM game still in progress (Miami/KC). CBS shifts to the Miami/KC game, shows about three plays, then has to cut away due to NFL broadcast rules. What, exactly, is the harm in allowing people to watch the last minute of a game? For a league that depends on fans, the NFL (and other professional leagues for that matter) doesn't seem too interested in providing their fans with what they want to see. I enjoy watching football, but I find myself increasingly dissatisfied with the NFL. I do not like being force-fed games that absolutely do not interest me.

Are you a good gift buyer?
My wife sure isn't. In the 15 years we've been together, I can count on one hand the number of 'good' gifts she has given me. Over the last few years, on no less than five occasions she has given me something I already had. Heck, last week she decided to get Guitar Hero III for me. She buys it, comes home to wrap it, then sees the game sitting on my shelf. I love her, but she can't buy gifts for crap. It isn't just me. I was going to let her take care of all of the gift buying this year, but when she starting coming in with junk for her parents, I had to step in. Women....

There is absolutely no incentive for any state to agree to such a thing.

The worst gifts...
Why not? You look like a Gene Autrey type of guy. And here I was, trying to convince AJ that you were an OK guy. Next time we're locking Brody in the room your sleeping in. OK, so maybe you're a George Michael type of guy...

They don't look bad and that price is pretty good. If you're not averse to plastic and want a crawfish imitator, try these. http://www.***.com/descpageKCOP-KLTCR.html

I was kinda hoping for some blueberry poptarts. Had there been room in the box, I would have thrown in a box of whole grain strawberry.
