I love football. I can’t justify my love for the game at all. I never played it. I don’t think it particularly noble or virtuous. I don’t think it makes me a better person.
But I love the complicated plays that teams run on each down and the infinite number of schemes and counter-schemes that can be employed. I love hating a team or player and pretending that one team is inherently more worthy of victory. I like how the NFL landscape changes each year with new strong or weak teams but I also appreciate the college landscape where traditional powers dominate and create fairy tale seasons for anyone who can beat them.
My love for football is the closest thing I have to an addiction. I read it, watch it, talk it, and regularly try to drag others into the debauchery with me.
Please don’t think less of me.
