    As soon as my team was out of the playoffs, my football season ended.

    Bruno, you’d love women’s Beach Volleyball, the suits are so tiny you can’t even see ’em….Just one thing, though….The players are all built like ten foot tall popsicle sticks….But the legs DO go on forever….

    Frankly, I miss trail riding season. ;) OK, with Flynn that was all year round, but I was younger then. Zen’s pretty happy I prefer nicer weather these days. Though I may have to officially retire him sooner then later The years fly and twenty years later, much as dogs, the bigger ponies get older sooner…. Anyway, more on subject:As for the common, er, commercial sports, lots and lots of commercials, I don’t get it. Really, minimum wage is too high, but we’ll pay guys who don’t think they should have to be role models millions of dollars to play a game?????Um, BTW, who is playing in the Super Bowl this year? Seriously, I’m going to have to do a search to find out…. I know it’s not the Bears, so…………………………………….. if it is, go Bears? Ya, didn’t think so.

    The NFL is probably going to an 18 game regular season next year. That means there will be two bye weeks instead of one.Which means the 2017 Stupor Bowl will be at least one week later in February.And Shetland Pony, the Bears won’t be in another Stupor Bowl until the wretched McCaskey family sells off the team.

    That second guy is me to a tee! Last night while my wife and I were eating burgers at a local establishment that features a fine selection of hopped beverages she asked who I was pulling for in the Super Bowl. We both agreed that we had some leanings toward Denver as that is the team our son-in-laws follows. But, I pointed out, that the pitchers and catchers start reporting in about two weeks and the rest of the players in about three. My season in nigh.

    This is why I watch follow real football. You know, the game you play with a ball and your feet and has a 10 month plus long season. Namely the British Premiere League, and then the Euro 2016 Tournament or World Cup and then back to the BPL. (With just enough time for the Tour de France in July.)

    I have never been a fan of ritualized tribalism. My watching it doesn’t affect the outcome, and the outcome doesn’t affect me. I don’t have a month-long depression when the local team loses. Tomorrow I’ll be doing something meaningful to me, with tangible results that I can enjoy, instead of wasting my time on the Super Bowl.

    I like to watch the home team (Go Broncos!) but it drives my husband crazy. He’ll watch the playoffs involving other teams and enjoy it, but can’t watch the Broncos (or the Rockies, but that’s a little more understandable, especially with the pitching). I’ll be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow but will send him elsewhere (or I guess I can go elsewhere . . .)

    While I agree with dogsniff, partially, as the coverage of “politics” and the way that game is now played, is like football, a distraction to keep the public from looking at the whole world of events, and how they affect us. The rough and tumble of the ball field is matched by fights over pointless issues with the politicians and media.

    It’s all about Lycra and flash, quick plays to win, and dancing in the end zone. We aren’t supposed to worry about how government will be run, only about who “won”. And the body public, over fed, too much beer, and remote control in hand, will watch the violence, and ignore the violence we bring around the world. ’Cause we got football!!

    Can’t remember who said it but one of my favorite quotes is about how the ancient Greeks prized both intellectualism and athleticism: “Imagine if the Yale football team could actually play football!”

    Some baseball teams have had their ‘Fantasy Camp’ already. That’s the beginning of fan spring training. You need to work up to the beer & hotdog level.

    That should have read ’ give any revenue back’ ‘not ’get any revenue back’ They get plenty of revenue at the expense of hard working people.

    BTW: swimming, running/walking, tennis, golf, bowling, are all among sports one can participate in, not just watch, way into old age, and good health. Part of my problem with football especially is the fans, and even retired players, who indeed can’t usually play all that long, who physically fall apart early on average.

    It’s also that some of these out of shape heros tend to be chickenhawks, and “conservatives” who complain about Medicare, while being it’s largest clients. Hmm, in many ways.

    As sports, all are fine, as OBSESSIONS, not so much.

    Leave the politics out and you have definitely got a BIG point. The fanatic devotion of fans and the installing of it into their children is so unhealthy. From high school to the pros, if you’re just not into sports, you’re weird, wrong, or unbalanced. Now THAT attitude is the really sick one.

    You mean there are sports going on between the last out of the World Series and the day pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training? News to me…

    Of course, according to the news, football and basketball are 12 month sports and baseball hardly gets mentioned.. sigh
