Totally. There's really no off-season anymore for us fans anymore and Goodell is the reason. The NFL Network and ESPN are full of quality football content all year long now. Well, maybe quality is stretching it but they certainly keep fans engaged and watching, that's for sure. After the draft, the rooks get right to their squads and shortly thereafter, their teammates join and practices get rolling. Once dead time has started in early summer, the talking heads are looking forward to how all of the new arrangements have been looking in practice and what that'll mean for the upcoming season. I used to never watch this stuff but now do, mainly because of the players, not teams, that I follow. Personally, I like it. I'd rather watch this shit in June than a live MLB game. Baseball is like watching flys fuck. So boring.
Insert something clever here...
