In the past few weeks it has come to my attention that I’m simply too dumb to handle preseason football.
Sure it’s all good and fun that football is back but my tiny brain can’t handle it. I don’t know who is good and I’m all confused. Every time I see one nice throw or a cool catch my brain immediately recalibrates and becomes confident of the new future Super Bowl champ.
This is torture. Obviously preseason doesn’t mean anything and it’s mostly backups or starters playing at half speed but don’t tell my brain that. My brain is positive that he has the tightest grip on which players will break out and who is gearing up for a playoff run.
We need to go back to treating preseason football the way we treat Halloween decorations in August or Christmas music in October. NOT YET! Our brains work on a very strict seasonal and holiday timeline and preseason football has got me messed up.
