Gridiron

Football means that for one day a week, I can forget about everything that's going on in the world and focus on something I truly enjoy. All the stuff you put up with at work, all the annoyances from everyday life all seem to stop. You can then focus on something else.

Sure there are highs and lows that come, but each week offers something new. Good surprises, bad surprises, things never even thought possible all happen across the country. You could be watching a legend in his prime, the end of a storied career, or the start of something great.

To quote Vince Lombardi

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

Football is a way of life. More so in Texas than elsewhere, but it's still a major part to the American sports fan's life. We have our favorites, our mortal enemies, our fair-weather teams. They can dictate our personal preferences. I hate the entirety of New England because of the Patriots.

But I digress. Football gives you staggering highs and devastating lows. But it is a great game. Controversies, heartbreak, and joy all make it spectacular.

And it's also good toe see Tony Siragusa on TV every once in a while.
