I compare the NFL now somewhat to a musical superstar, actor, or actress that does so well and what happens is that personality is so exposed that sometimes the appeal loses something. Its still great, but it is just not the same.
I think in a small way the same can be said for the NFL: I think there is too much coverage now...and when the games do not live up to expectations...its disappointing.
Plus some E$PN "personalities" for example are now so big (which was created by the networks themselves and foolishly the public buys into them) that they do not leave much to our own imaginations, because the opinions are given so fast now, that we subconscously formulate our opinions on the NFL based on what the tools on E$PN radio tell us.
