Super Bowl the final act of the NFL's worst season

Anti-football writer that is for sure. Anyone could come up with this conclusion, or they could say it was one of the best seasons ever as well. For too many years the NFL overlooked many of these issues but chose, albeit with some hiccups along the way, to take a stronger stance.

The naysayers are going to complain, but it was a great season on the field and THAT is what matters!

If European football is the beautiful game, then might we say American football is the murky game? Why else would there be a need for cheerleaders to perk everyone up?

This writer doesn't know squat. Scandals happen in most sports most years. It was a pretty good season and will be capped off by the two best teams locking horns tomorrow morning in what promises to be a great game. Day off? Check. Grill? Check. Meats? Check. Premium beer? Check. Big screen TV? Check. Eye candy? Check. Can't wait!

Mocheake...you got it!, my favorite didnt make it but I am pulling for the Seahawks to repeat!

I have spent the last week drowning my sorrows (figuratively speaking) for lost chances, but it should play out to be a great game!

The 2014 NFL season was about as flat as a NE Pats football !

American football is all about the basest of brute instincts, self-righteous violence. This year is especially relevant because it is really the Cheater Bowl, featuring Cheating Pete Carroll, whose last team, the USC Trojans, are still suffering from the punishments they got when he cheated. Bill Belichik is known to all as one who will do anything to win.

The NFL is really a set of billionaires who own all the business, which gets treated as "non-profit" tax-wise (really), for the benefits of tax-dodging billionaires. Hey, if you really own America, why not run it?

Sorry, but football has become an insane obsession glorifying violence, and hopefully one day it will retire to the dust bins of history.

You are right, but then... Compared to the old Rome these gladiators do this out of their own free will and are paid extremely well. Only in very rare cases someone actually dies. But mainly, as nothing else does, this sport represents American culture and its values. That is why it is more popular than any other sport.

The author of the article clearly is not someone who knows a lot about the NFL, than things he reads in other newspapers, that is o.-k.

But he still has got it wrong. The only difference that happened in this season was, that all these subjects made it to the headlines.

And I cannot understood your least question... They do! They do! What on earth are you talking about?

gkamburoff and Yogi Zuna - So, I suppose, Rugby, Boxing, Kickboxing, K-1, PRIDE, Sumo, and other sports such as these are the epitome of kindness, honor, and sacredness? Please be aware that each of these are just as violent (in some, even more-so) as American Football and all of them --- yes, ALL of them --- have endured scandals, as well. While I'm not a great fan of the NFL, having done both boxing and Football (as well as other sports), these do instill character and training and discipline (as do the a-fore mentioned) - as well as teamwork and camaraderie - into the lives of the men and women who participate in them. Can these sports be abused? Yes, they can, but blame the abusers and not the sports themselves...
