They gotta get rid of at least half the bowls. They have to bring back the pride of bowl eligibility. With everyone who isn't completely atrocious going to a bowl nowadays it just doesn't matter and that's why you have draft bound kids sitting out left and right. You don't see them sitting out of playoff games. Meanwhile, most of these poo tier bowls have the attendance of a local HS game.

What does it matter? If those bowl games didn't exist they wouldn't be playing either so it's the same thing. Let the kids who want to play, play. If you don't want to watch, don't watch.

Hell, look at MLB. You can't tell me that viewership numbers on most of those games is practically non-existent.

Meh. We're on an NFL board. I watch every Yankees game and on my Yankees board we barely mention the NFL. But yes, NFL will always get better ratings than NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS due to games played. Like many of you feel about MLB, I'd rather be shot in the head than watch a regular season NBA game.

Bowl games have had no meaning ever since voters stopped determing who was the national champion, conferences were no longer regional and smaller, and when kids stayed all four years.

They're good fun and you get interesting match ups.

When was the last time Florida played Oregon St, for example?

Yet to be bowl eligible, you need to be above .500.  Not something you can say about the NFL playoff system.

I'd prefer the bowl games go back to being quality. Yeah, for the most part I don't watch. Hence why I'd like a change. I thought I made that fairly clear.

I probably haven't watched an NBA game of any sort in at least a decade. I used to be a massive college basketball fan and still religiously watch UNC basketball but they have really fuged up the sport of basketball in the past 20 years. If I wasn't such a huge Heels fan I would've completely stopped watching the sport by now. If the Heels aren't playing I'm not watching basketball. And that's coming from a guy who used to be a college basketball over anything else fan.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
