What has happened to the NFL? Why do I suddenly despise the game that I once adored?

Growing up I was never much of a football fan. Mostly because I grew up in California and football started at 9am on Sunday. My family and I were usually at church then so football was something we watched a few times a year. That all changed when I moved to New Hampshire and started college.



During my college years I took a job waiting tables at a local restaurant bar and grill. Due to my school schedule, I mostly worked weekends, Friday night, a double on Saturday, and a double on Sunday. While working there, I really became a fan of football. I jumped right on the New England Patriots bandwagon as we headed to the Super Bowl, only to be crushed by the Green Bay Packers. From there my love of the game continued to grow.

After college I took my first job in Indianapolis, ‘COLTS COUNTRY’. At this time the Colts had just acquired a new quarterback, some kid named Peyton Manning. I found myself struggling to see the games I wanted to see and missed seeing my beloved Patriots play. My best friend had just ordered NFL Sunday Ticket and so I became a couch potato on Sundays watching the Vikings (his favorite) and the Patriots.
