I still watch the NFL because I enjoy a hard-fought football game (preferably a defensive one, which seems to be more of a rarity now given the rule changes). But I completely agree with you all that the silliness and look-at-me culture has poisoned the league, perhaps to a point of no return. 
I know who my heroes are, and they sure as heck aren't egotistical professional athletes or Hollywood celebrities...
