If you stop watching football just because of the uniforms they wear, what does that make you?  Lame?  Ghey?  That just seems a tad hyperbolic to me.

Does it?  Why would I want to watch a sport that I enjoy so much if it starts annoying me because the league caves in to a bunch of 20-somethings with a box of virtual crayons?  Did you see the Maryland uniforms earlier this year?  I turned it on, saw the unis, and turned it off.  I love the game but won't be held hostage to gross stupidity in the name of profit.  

I've stopped listening to some sports radio talk shows because of their over-the-top use of rap bumper music.  I'll turn off the NFL if the game pisses me off just watching it.  I can find something else to do with my free time that won't annoy me.

If I owned an NFL team I would want my teams uniform to be in camouflage.

Grass green with big white numbers and hashmarks?

The numbers were in the correct direction, but some of the arrows were pointed the wrong way.

C'mon man.  I've seen at least 15 different occasions where you've threatened to stop watching the NFL for one reason or another.  Stop fooling yourself.  You're going to be just like the rest of us and take it up the tailpipe and then turn your TV to football on Sundays.  Do your complaining, but these empty threats have run their course.

Feel free to go ahead and list them.  Make sure to include a link with each.

I'll wait.

As for my resolve - I don't watch pro hockey any longer, and it was a sport where I grew up with foil on rabbit ears to catch Blackhawks games on WGN.  I even bought the 45 of their fight song and can still sing half of it.  Don't watch MLB with the exception of a rare few playoff games when I used to go to 30+ Brewers games a year in my mid-teens and early 20s, and followed them rabidly when they move from Seattle in '69.  I won't watch any NBA either because of the crap product it has become, but I'll watch college basketball all day long provided my wife is busy doing something.

If the NFL elects to alienate me or I don't enjoy their product, I'd drop them and my FF teams and enjoy college football on Saturdays and work on my honey-dos Sundays.  I know the NFL may care less, but they ought to unless you think I'm alone - which is possible.

You don't know me.  Don't pretend to.

You guys do realize that crappy shoes from spammers doesn't have any say on if a team changes there uniforms, right?  They can't make any team wear highligher looking garbage.  I can assure you that the Packers, Colts, Bears, Steelers, and Cowboys won't do anything crazy.  We know that the Seahawks will do something stupid, but the team itself decides what it will wear.  crappy shoes from spammers/Reebok/adidas/under armor just pay for the right to produce said spamshirts.

It's the league and what they may mandate in the name of greater profit. Hell, they're playing regular season games in freakin' London, for Pete's sake.  Tell me how much sense that makes.

Yeah, Rodger Goodell wouldn't mandate teams to make changes to there uniform.  THe owners of said teams would have to be on board.  Just like the ones who choose to play in London.  Goodell works for the owners.

I really like the crappy shoes from spammers uniforms! I've never bought an NFL jersey but I will buy a Brady Patriots one if they look like that!

You know darn well I can't go back more than 13 pages.  You also know darn well how many times you threatened to stop watching the NFL during this offseason alone.  I didn't even realize you wrote this next sentence, but I was just going to ask you "when are you going to enjoy college football on Saturdays and help around the house on Sundays?"

"If the NFL elects to alienate me or I don't enjoy their product, I'd drop them and my FF teams and enjoy college football on Saturdays and work on my honey-dos Sundays.

How many times have you said this very sentence?  Yes, I know you.  We all do.  You don't exactly hide yourself in anonymity around here.

Exactly once.  Find one time - just once - where I've written this sentence in any other thread in any other forum.

You know me about as well as you know football.

I kinda like the uniforms of the Lingerie Football League (LFL). My fantasy (league) is doing quite well this season.

Why not make your own link with tiny url dot com ?     

(wow that got filtered out to spam, I guess that means we cannot use them here, which I can understand )
