I was watching the World Series of Poker when they had to stop the action and look at the replay. After sixteen minutes and twenty-nine different angles an official announces, “The ruling on the table stands, the bald guy who keeps picking up and dropping his chips has a pair!”
Turns out I had dozed off and was dreaming that poker had become the NFL.
If your sporting life revolves around the NFL, then you must be more excited than the fat kid who just found out the McRib is back. This upcoming weekend of football deliciousness has been eighteen long weeks in the making and I hope you appreciate it because weekends like this one only come around once a year. Here’s a breakdown of what are historically the best weekends in American sports.
I can pretty much fix the things that are wrong with football. It just takes a little tough love and enforcing a few rules, using some common sense. Football is just like life and sometimes you get into a rut and continue to do lame things out of force of habit or because everybody else does it or because change is too hard. It’s not too hard, in fact, when I clap my hands all the fixes outlined below will magically happen.
