Sort of agree but also think they should see what they could get, if the better prospects are still a couple years away. The big risk with burning it to the ground is precisely things like injuries. Just seems to be so many these days across all sports that banking on young guys to deliver the goods AND stay healthy is a gamble. Baltimore doesn’t have much to show for a decade of terrible baseball.
Certainly nobody wants to make a commercial that could be considered inappropriate to someone, so that’s where a lot of the funny and edginess has gone. I just figure I’m old and this particular game and the spectacle around it aren’t really geared towards me these days so I don’t moan too much about it anymore. They have to (in their mind) make the game marketable to every one since the regular fan is going to watch regardless.
The commercials are never good. Ever. Tonight’s game dragged. I left my friend’s house before it was over. I think the halftime show is much too long with the set up and breakdown. It was about a 4 hour game tonight, which would be fine I suppose if the game were interesting. But 3.5 hours of mostly 3 and outs made it a bit of a snoozer.
Just a reminder, the Seahawks were about to lose to the rams in one of the last games of the season and the rams gave it away very late. Imagine how things could have changed if Seattle was the 6 seed or something. Still the better team probably would have won anyway
