Possibly even high school, even before? So, we're essentially, looking for a redo of society, a society in which thug life has become an aspiration for many. I don't see much hope.<br /><br />I stopped watching years ago, just too much bullshit.<br /><br />No newbie here, I was a 49'er fan when Y.A.

The freakin NFL/CBS announcers spent the entire time talking about the lousy 2nd string QB riding the bench, instead of covering the 1sr string QB driving his team to a TD. Fix that nonsense and maybe the viewership decline will stop. I'm only watching, because the TV is on and the beer cheap. If they put it on the cooking channel, I'd still be here.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-48784384809421366312016-10-06T20:50:14.374-04:002016-10-06T20:50:14.374-04:00How about fewer teams?
