Well NFL viewership was way down last year, and many suspect it was due to all of the politicking, which I think sports is an escape from all that for many so turned a lot of people off. I hope this trend ends, they can do that on their own time, not while on the job.

Also agree with Hank that there is less passion in the game and more X's and O's.

A bit off topic but the only place close enough to place this:
Not sure how many of you all follow the ESPN series 30 For 30 but I find the films to be well done and interesting even when I'm not familiar with the topic itself. Last night's debut was no exception. "What Carter Lost" talks about the 1988 Carter (Dallas, TX) High School football team. Apparently, although they are somewhat a footnote in the record books, they are viewed as one of the best High School Football teams in history. I forget how many players they stated received D-1 scholarships and went onto the NFL but the numbers were large considering it is a public high school as opposed to private.
I won't spoil it for anyone who wants to check it out. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and came away with much respect for many of the individuals interviewed. Also much admiration for their honesty and candor on subjects they could have tried to avoid.
Review of film - contains "spoilers"
Peace,
Mr DJA

i agree less passion today. maybe its because they pay these guys so much they don't care
Kobe, Peyton, and Tiger (first names should be sufficient) have all gotten it too. Either it's just a trendy, high-priced fad or there must be tangible results.Quote

a bunch of Seahawks have been going to Germany for regenokine treatment. something where they take the blood out & put in a centrifuge to separate out anti inflammatories which are then put back in the player. procedure banned in the US but not banned by the league. sort of reminds me of Keith getting his blood changed, haha.

And he probably dresses for a Raiders game like he's in GWAR.Quote

means nothing. I believe the lions went 3-1 in preseason and then 0-16 in the regular season

Game over. With the trade to get Sheldon Richardson the Hawks have a good shot of having the best defense of all time. Barring injury, of course. See you in Minnesota in February...GO HAWKS!

The Hawks were most likely going to cut Kearse anyway. They are very deep at receiver & Kearse underperformed last year. Richardson will be going into a strong locker room with a lot of veteran presence. He was being thrust into a leadership role with the Jets since they have gotten rid of most of their veterans. He won't have to deal with that here. + he is coming into a decidedly winning program with stable management. All of that losing in NYC has to wear on a player. The Jets are setting themselves up for next year's draft. So, the Hawks gave up a player they weren't in love with & a draft pick at the end of the 2nd round to fill 1 of the very few holes in the defense. Teams are going to have a very tough time scoring on the Hawks this year & I think the Hawk offense is totally on the mend. I'm excited!

Richardson was being a loud mouth last season too. he's had 2 different off the field issues and several issues on the field. Richardson was on the jets for 2 losing seasons and a winning season and an even season. he was projected to be a backup DE for the jets anyways, not even a starter or a needed a leader.
