Lifelong football enjoyer here, but I can no longer stomach the NFL anymore. I realize the league is, and has always been, an entertainment business but they don’t even bother hiding the massaging anymore. They’re clearly feeling threatened by the fact that college football is more interesting now with the CFP and transfer portal, so they’re desperate for dramatic narratives. wilL iT BE A ThREEPeAT? wILL keLCe PrOposE to tayLOR SWIfT? dID wE MEnTIon TAyLOR swIFT iS HEre?
Anyways, good thing I got into rugby recently cuz it’s Six Nations time
Nope. Been a thoroughly dispiriting season for the Niners, and I have absolutely no wish to watch the Chiefs win yet again.
And that was before Trump, the End Racism thing and so on.
Also a Niners fan, yeah that was rough. I can’t help but feel like there’s something going on institutionally that’s causing all the injuries, like players are being pushed too hard in practice or players are being pressured to return from injuries too early or something. Just too many injuries in one season to chalk up to bad luck.
Yep. I mean a few years of going deep in the playoffs probably takes its toll, but still, it was ridiculous.
What really got me this year though was what seemed like an unbelievable amount of errors and stupid (and costly) penalties. I’ve not looked at the numbers to see if this is more than just my impression, but I feel like they shot themselves in the foot so many times, much more than the average.
Fingers crossed for a rested and healed team, and a good draft!
