It amazes me every offseason how spoiled I am. Every fall I spend my Sundays glued to the TV, critiquing which games are on when the Lions are done playing, complaining about the Sunday Night Football matchup or feeling let down that the day’s Lions game wasn’t as entertaining as I’d hoped.
It’s silly, in retrospect. I would travel long, treacherous roads just to watch the commercials of a Week 14 Monday Night Football game between the 2-10 Raiders and the 4-8 Chargers.
I exaggerate, of course, but man does the offseason make me realize how much I take the wealth of fall football for granted—especially given that we’re now staring down an unrealistic fall for any level of football.
