Between the horrible officiating, replays causing games to routinely last over 4 hours, Gooddell being an asshat, and now as we watch we know that players are basically killing themselves... it's hard man.

This story is very sad, too. And so many other players have problems that aren't visibly manifested and therefore are unnoticed.

Folk saying that the NFL won't exist in 20 years are mostly dismissed as hyperbole, but the NFL as-is seems unsustainable.
