Has the NFL Lost Something
I just have this feeling that the NFL has lost some of its glory, some of its fan base. I cannot really tell you where this is coming from. To me the free agent, multi-million dollar contracts maybe have something to do with it, but then again I am just Meik.

Thoughts?

I don't know where it's coming from either. If you were talking baseball,I think you might be on to something.

Drinking already this morning Meik??

Maybe you doing a football radio show isn't the best idea. However, i guess it could be quite fun making fun of you for a while.

I think the league is going strong with the playoff races wide open. He must have read too many of Big Mike's posts.

What the NFL no longer has is that one team that for four or five years just terrorizes everybody. Parity has brought that. The patriots as the most successful team of the last six years certainly do not terrify anybody. Opposing teams and their fans always look at the Pats as beatable.

This is not really a bad thing. I think it generates the interest of the more casual(fair weather) fan.

I am biased, but if the Steelers get their act together next year they could be contenders for a few years. Brady had a slump his sophmore year as well. Also if the Bengal stop getting arrested they have a young team. Dallas has Romo and a fairly young backfield.

You know what, if'd you contact me we could get this started. Problems have been:

Jay getting headset > took forever
Wont take time to download skype and contact me to test this
Wont Answer my calls


Now back to subject! This was just a feeling that I had, maybe I am just too busy these days to really appreciate it plus the fact that my team sucks

Problems have been:

Jay getting headset > took forever --- True.
Wont take time to download skype and contact me to test this --- true
Wont Answer my calls --- No one else wants to answer your calls either.

Reason for all three above?? The end result is that i'm stuck doing a radio show with Meik.

Call me tonight douchie... we'll test it tonight after i have a few captain's in me.

No way, I say enough dumb things. I dont need it recorded. It's a lot harder to deny things caught on tape.
