no fun league

Whatever happened to the NFL being physical? Football has lost some of its luster in my opinion. They've become the No Fun League with pansy rules. If a defender so much as looks at the quarterback the wrong way, a personal foul, 15-yard flag is thrown. Are quarterbacks not players too? Why can't they just let them play? There are also a number of other situations that call for bogus "too physical" flags. It's ridiculous. The other thing that makes the league no fun is how they flag and fine players for celebrating. I don't understand why it's such a big deal. I think it's funny when a player creatively celebrates a touchdown. It used to be that I couldn't wait to watch the celebration highlights on ESPN on Sunday nights. Let them celebrate! I understand the need for rules and structure, but they've made the game a whole lot less fun. All that said, I still love my Patriots, and won't stop watching football no matter what.

This is starting to annoy me really bad too. I think those NFL suits are just getting greedy.

I like football, but I don't know about flags and stuff.

I feel like the majority of the games are spent dealing with penalties (when I actually watch) It seems like there is a flag being thrown on every play.
