It's not just because the Bears have sucked; I actually think the NFL is kinda boring. The announcers and analysts all say the same things (and unlike in baseball, there's not that as much intellectual conversation about the game/tactics), there are too many commercials and other breaks in the action, everything that happens every week feels overhyped by every media outlet, and it seems like every season is defined by who's injured/suspended. I like the game of football: the strategy/schemes, the athleticism, the complexity -- but everything around the NFL has made it so much less fun.
