Long time listeners know that GamerDude is a long-suffering Jets fan, but that's not why his love for the NFL has faded over the years. This week, he talks about the problems he sees with the NFL, from the greed of the owners to the poor treatment of the retired players. He talks about the over-saturation of the market, with football on TV at least three, and sometime four, days a week. He talks about how the PSLs that the teams have been using for a few years now (which is a "Personal Seat License," if you can believe that such a thing exists) exemplifies the thing that is most important to the NFL - money.  He talks about how advertising has lengthened games unnecessarily, because of one thing - money. And he talks about how the season just keeps getting longer, for one reason - more money. 

He also talks about how the product on the field has changed over the years.  He discusses how offenses and defenses are no longer evenly matched. He talks about the disappearance of the running game, and he talks about how the officials dictate play, rather than simply regulate it. He also talks about how the NFL agonizes over things like "video review," which seems to cause as many problems as it is supposed to solve, and he discusses the convoluted overtime rule that could have been resolved very simply, and very easily.
