Fantasy football and sportsbetting is the only life support that gives the NFL a pulse.

Every game is marred by senseless flags, insufferable reviews, egregious TV time-outs, head scratching coach's challenges, gutless playcalling, clock mismanagement, belaboring commentary on the whether or not a tackle constitutes targeting etc. etc. etc.

Now add to this the fact that despite the inundation of rules to ostensibly protect them, we seem to lose star caliber players to long-term injury on a weekly basis, further diluting what has already become an unwatchable product.

And then we try to send this shit-show to London? Lol, we're struggling to keep the audience on our home turf interested, much less gaining fans abroad. I'm beginning to think the rest of the world had it right with their whole soccer infatuation thing.
