And I don't miss it. In fact, usually it is midseason before I realize that there are football games being played. And now when I watch, all of the games look the same. If you've seen 15 minutes of football, you've seen enough. The games all look the same, especially if you have no idea who the players are.

I do watch the Super Bowl, but that is for the commercials as well as the game, which historically has been a real snoozer.

Ever again. I had season tickets to the ,49ers from Kezar until the last game at Candlestick.
It got to be too expensive for the thrills provided. The new stadium ain't all that. The tailgate parties so I don't know. I was a GateF GateF, and for 40 years we hung out together. I know not of them now.

I don't buy shirts, hats or any of that crap. I've got it all,, a bunch of super bowl stuff, so no need to gear up.

I am going to imagine that a lot of parents are rethinking their kids involvement in football and other high contact sports.
