I agree, in part....

this part: A handful of teams are getting nearly all the great players. I don't see that as good for the game.

I disagree with this part: 'meaningless games everywhere'. You don't have to have the best players in the nation to play good, competitive, and exciting football. I see great games from teams little noticed.

It's one of the things, (few though they may be), that I like about the internet... I get to watch games, (all sports), I would have never seen before the internet. - JamesJM
