Right now I don't think I'll be watching, and it has to do with something I just read but have felt for weeks:

Goodell has somehow succeeded in making NFL games feel utterly meaningless, and I don't know how you can **** things up any worse than that.


I honestly feel like what we're watching isn't legit, that this isn't real NFL football. I feel like the game has changed and teams and players are taking advantage of what basically amounts to lawlessness.

So in my opinion I don't see the point of tuning in to watch something that isn't genuine.

How's that "I will never watch any BCS games because the system sucks" boycott working out?

You might think you are not going to watch. You might actually believe it today in the heat of the travesty that transpired last night. But come Sunday you know damn well you're going to tune in.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game

I've decided that I'm watching. I'm not going to miss the continuing train wreck that these officials will continue to cause. It's going to be fun.

I'll be watching, but I do hate "supporting" Goodell, the owners and the alternate referees by doing so. My love for the Packers and the NFL in general outweighs my hatred towards Goodell and the owners. We got bent over and railed by the incompetent clowns in referee uniforms last night and it cost us a W. It sucks big time, and no one is more furious than I am, but it won't keep me from watching my Packers come Sunday. Hats off to those of you who follow through though.

Fwiw, I have not watched a college football game since that buzz came about. One fan certainly doesn't matter, but other than a talent pool for the real league, college ball couldn't be any more meaningless to me.
