To each their own...
Doesn't it stand to reason that people who make a living covering football would approve even if they thought it was boring?

Im gonna be watching hockey but I hope people enjoy itIt is Minor League Football in Minor League Cities. That's not meant to be criticism, that's just what it is. It will help fill a void in what is, except for March, an abysmal time of the year for sports.... but I certainly won't be arranging my weekend scheduled around the Stallions-Hotshots game.
That was a damn good game today in San Antonio holy **** that was NFL quality. Our former QB Garrett Gilbert looking great for Orlando!
That game was legitimately entertaining. The AAF needs to figure out how to replicate that.That was a damn good game today in San Antonio holy **** that was NFL quality. Our former QB Garrett Gilbert looking great for Orlando!
That is why it breaks my heart, that game--not because in New York they could win because Boston lost; in that, there is a rough justice, and a reminder to the Yankees of how slight and fragile are the circumstances that exalt one group of human beings over another. It breaks my heart because it was meant to, because it was meant to foster in me again the illusion that there was something abiding, some pattern and some impulse that could come together to make a reality that would resist the corrosion; and because, after it had fostered again that most hungered-for illusion, the game was meant to stop, and betray precisely what it promised.
Of course, there are those who learn after the first few times. They grow out of sports. And there are others who were born with the wisdom to know that nothing lasts. These are the truly tough among us, the ones who can live without illusion, or without even the hope of illusion. I am not that grown-up or up-to-date. I am a simpler creature, tied to more primitive patterns and cycles. I need to think something lasts forever, and it might as well be that state of being that is a game; it might as well be that, in a green field, in the sun.

You won't see me watching it. Football is supposed to end, and then, months later, start again. There's supposed to be a void, and then a longing followed by a return.
