TV has, in many ways, hurt the game. More accessible to the average fan but it's become too big, too "glossy." And all that TV money has made the league arrogant. Seeing the plays at ground level gives you a real appreciation for the skill and vision of the really good players.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-21044784832492091222017-12-26T16:00:29.360-08:002017-12-26T16:00:29.360-08:00The tickets we had were not cheap, not at all (not...The tickets we had were not cheap, not at all (not on the 45 front row). The number of empty seats could be explained by both teams having no shot and it was cold and it was Christmas Eve. But yeah, that taking a knee crap hurt the league. Hasn't hurt the players yet. I get where they're coming from, even if I don't agree with their method.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-39963424721174303482017-12-26T15:57:43.058-08:002017-12-26T15:57:43.058-08:00I have to admit it, I'm having a blast in NoVa...I have to admit it, I'm having a blast in NoVa.

Too often it's something the color guy saw on film earlier and wants to point it out during the game.

Starts to become real clear why a quarterback "didn't see" that so-and-so was open.

I haven't been to a football game in a few years, and may never with the Chargers gone north.
