Want a reason besides overzealously penalizing end zone celebrations to hate the NFL? Well, you’ve got it. Recently, the gestapo No Fun League demanded that YouTube remove over 3,000 NFL clips from its archive. Donovan McNabb vomiting before taking a snap? Gone. The Titans goon stomping on that guy’s head? Vanished, like the Steelers hopes of repeating.

(Ahhhh, but here’s reason 5,672 we love the net: Nobody likes to listen. We found the McNabb puking video in about eight seconds. And that’s why we posted it. Fight the power!)

The NFL is a cash cow. People aren’t going to stop watching the NFL because a couple hours after the game, you can see a highlight on the internet. Eliminate gambling on sports, though, and they might.

Here’s your solution: the NFL needs to start up a YouTube-like FREE service in which we all can drop by and enjoy McNabb puking or Chad Johnson dancing or Terrell Owens sleeping. And then allow us to post the vids on our blogs for our seven friends to see.
