I know how this is going to sound and I don't mean it to, but I just have to ask after one of those epiphanies. It hit me that perhaps the trouble with some of my views and the reaction I get has a little to do with how much you actually watch NFL football vs. just the Green Bay Packers? If you only watch the Packers, or mainly, then your entire view of the game is the Packers and whomever they're playing. If you watch the entire NFL, as closely as you watch the Packers, you're going to have a very different perspective on things.

So, fan of mainly just the Packers, or fan of the NFL in general with emphasis on Packers? I'd really like to know.

I am fan of Green Bay Packers first, fan of football second. I say this because I didn't watch a single snap of football this weekend where as I normally would watch a noon, late afternoon, and primetime game and be happy. The last year or two with all of the legal lawsuit stuff and trying to make NFL global comes off as vain and greed. Also, the "protest" that continues to be shoved down our throat with every game is something I don't care for.

Packers, Badgers, College Football then NFL way down. I use to sit and watch football on the weekends now I pretty much only watch Packer and Badger games. I haven't watched more than a quarter of any other NFL game this year. and it has nothing to do with the protests, it is the product on the field. Nascar did the same thing, I use to love watching races and going to races. The rules changes in both have screwed up the product.

I used to overwhelmingly just be a huge NFL fan, although the Packers have always been my favorite team and focus. Fantasy Football really helps with this. However, as time passes and life gets more complicated, I'm becoming less of a fan. I still love the Green Bay Packers, but I simply have too many other important things to focus on rather than watching hours of NFL football. What good does it do for me or my family? If I were being truthful, there are literally hundreds of better uses of my time. So I'm trying to minimize the time I spend with the NFL by mostly only watching the Packers games. I do still keep tabs though, but I'm trying to minimize.

Frankly. I'd love it if I stopped watching sports entirely. I could get a lot more done. Ultimately, the NFL is a waste of time, frankly.

I go through periods of this all the time. Sports on TV is not all that much different than a drug addiction. Lately, I've found myself paying more attention to the NFL and even the NHL. I digress but NHL.tv is one of the greatest inventions of all time even though the experience still has bugs to work out. Time wasted on sports can have the same negative impact on relationships drugs do.

For me, I joined my first ever pay fantasy league. I was given the 12th place team in a 12 team keeper league that has been around for years I have gone overboard to win this league feeling like I was invited for my entry fee and to be a patsy. This has really heightened my desire to watch more NFL.

I was a general fan of the NFL and probably watched 3 games a week as of like 5 years ago. My interest has gradually been waning, now I just watch the Packers or any games late in the season that affect the Packers' playoff chances/position.

This is pretty accurate for me. 10 years ago I could watch 3 or 4 games a week. Or at least parts of games.

Even though my kids are out of the house I can't justify losing that much time to something that has no impact on my life.

The rule changes, the sucking the last drop of blood out of the fans, the politics have almost killed any enthusiasm I have left.

While I have loved the Packers since the 60's, being in IL and getting the bares games instead of the Packers, I prob wouldn't watch GB more than 3-4 times a year if I wasn't a Gold Package ticketholder. Eventually I would probably stop watching them all together and just read a few comments about the game online. I would more than likely drop the ticket package but my son wants them some day. For now he and I go to a game a year together. I enjoy that more than the outcome of any game.

I'm a Packers fan and was an NFL fan. Like others, the amount of NFL I watch has gone down a lot. I used to watch a ton of games on Sunday. Not anymore. If it's not the Packers, I'm just not that interested. I'll watch some of the better match-ups and games that are close & come down to the wire. I don't like all of the instant replay because it seems to take forever. I understand people want the calls right, but it's just gotten so ridiculous IMO.

I also used to watch some of the NFL pregame shows and some of the NFL shows throughout the week. Not anymore! I'm so sick of everything being analysed to death and many of the commentators/personalities are annoying.

From age 8-20, I watched everything from Inside the NFL to NFL Under the Helmet in addition to Packers games.

Now it's whatever I have time for, and I usually just set aside time for Packers games. That said, I also bet around $300 a week picking games against the spread and the over/under scores, and I have three Fantasy Football teams. So I'm still a fan, but there's too many responsibilities and things in life to be as involved as I was when I was young(er).

I started as an NFL fan in the late 80s but my parents were big-time Packers fans since Lombardi. I even went to Joe Montana's first game as a Kansas City Chief at Tampa Bay. By the late 90s, I switched to mainly being a fanatic about the Packers.

Now with Goddell and the politics, I am still a Packers fan despite the rest of the NFL.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
