Re: NFL product
The NFL isn't compelling to me anymore (especially after they yanked my team out of my city, twice.) I'm not invested in any of the new classes of athletes; the games are either predictable or boring (ties, field goal showdown, blowouts); and in what has become an obvious profit grab over all else for Goodell/Ownership, I can't even bring myself to watch it anymore.
NCAA on Saturdays is a whole different animal and I love it. Momentum shifts during the game, upsets are possible every week, storylines/traditions are more appealing. Now that they've got a decent enough playoff system, NCAA is the only football I'm watching.
As for ESPN, the only thing worth watching on that channel these days is 30 for 30.
