I'm not sure why my love of pro football is only kicking in this year--probably because I was too blinded by the amazingness of college ball previously. I honest to god want to watch the draft this year so I know who I should be most excited about in the following year. I will faithfully watch and wait for Henne, Long and Hart to get a chance to play.
Ideally, the Raiders or 9ers would get better so that I can have a team that I love out here and not have to look all the way to Boston.
There's something so pure about a good game, or a dedicated team that's taken a turn around. Look at the Bills this year. And, of course, look that the Pats. I know everyone just wants to hate on them left and right, but it's just not possible. Listening to Belichick talk is just nice. He comments against the tough things that they are better discussed later and leaves it at that. He is everything that a coach is supposed to be, let's not lie.
So enough Patriots hating, peoples. Although, I'll admit, I think part of my love of them is coming from the simple fact that they are the Patriots--they have the little dudes on the helmets and I am in the midst of a huge American history and politics love session that's been going on for a few months now. Really though, we all know it's because they have a Michigan QB.
The simplicity and beauty of sports is waning and it breaks my heart. The naming of stadiums after corporate companies is disgusting and makes me not want to like them so much anymore--or the harassment of women at the Giants (the Jets) stadium. Or the players who murder dogs, or abuse significant others. But when you can watch a perfectly executed game, the underdog come up to win, a perfect season, then sometimes the world seems a little bit better. I know, I know--talk about all ridiculous statements, but you really can't deny the quiet ring of truth there.
One thing I do know is that I'm going to buy that damn NFL Network package next year. RIDICULOUS that I can't watch all the games! I don't want to watch these stupid no name bowls that are sponsored by companies I've never heard of. Give me back the Citrus Bowl, you dicks.

Hmmm... sorry to inform you sister but the only way that you can get NFL Network is via DirecTV... so I hope you guys have a dish over there or allowed to get one, otherwise you may lose out again... Don't worry too much tho, if you want to see good teams (read: Pats and not our beloved Lions), then they already play a high percentage of their games...
