Anyone else think the NFL is boring?

I am having a hard time watching football in the NFL-

I know they are the best football players athletically but--I find watching it to be boring

I feel that they have sold everyone on the pageantry of the NFL- it's "coolness" and brand name but I feel the actual football on the field has gotten boring to watch

you hear all the time that it is a "copy-cat" league (like that is a good thing)

I feel everyone runs the same type of offense and defense- I am so tired of watching inside/outside zone as the only run plays-

even the "wild cat" is not that wild- (and of course everyone started to try it)

I would much rather watch college ball- at least there is more variation in what they do even if they aren't all the top athletes.

Am I just nostalgic for what it was like when I was younger?

or does anyone else feel that it is getting boring?

Update:

a simple "no" will not suffice! You could just be into the pageantry-

I should have stipulated football answers only- Like the poor, poor Chiefs fan :)

    I wouldn't say boring but it is hard to follow because of the TV contracts. On a average Sunday afternoon the NFL has 14 games, but I can only watch 3 of them. So there are teams that I never get to watch during the regular season that I may want to see and teams that suck that are on every week. We are in the Chiefs market. Not only are they bad, but they're very boring too.

    Not everybody was meant to be a football fan. I watch as much football as I can, even during the offseason. I'm a basketball fan as well, but to me, basketball doesn't compare.

    No, it's part of American life. It's about your team, your city, your player. It's about pain and pleasure. Winning and losing.

    Go Eagles!
