It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.I love football, college and pro. I love listening to it, watching it, playing it. I love football video games. I love fantasy football. I love throwing the football around. I love tackle football, touch, flag, electronic...you name it - I dig it.
However there is one thing about football I can't stand. That is talking about it. All the preseason prognostication drives me nuts. Every called and every talk show host on television or radio is an expert. They just go on and on about this player and that player. They go on and on about football schemes. They talk about coaching trees, where players ended up in the draft.
Mind you this is different than actual play by play, which is fine. This is different than talking about the history of the game - which I personally love (being a sports nostalgia freak). This is different than talking about it with our buddies over a few brewski's too.
It is just the mind numbing ad nausea same old garbled junk turned over and over, full of speculation and conjecture. And it is all based on what? Just the industry (football) that everyone feels the need to be a part of - that where everyone and their uncle is an expert of the game and every single wanderlich test result for the last 20 friggin years.
Enough. Enjoy the game. Play it, otherwise you are just wasting time. Of all the sports, football has to be the least and most uninteresting sport to discuss. I love football!. Oh wait, I just went on and on about football didn't I?
