1. IT LOOKS LIKE FOOTBALL
From Houston’s loss to Kansas City on Thursday Night to Tennessee’s after hours win over the Denver Broncos, football looked like football this past weekend. The games were sharp and crisp, and didn’t look noticeably different than anything from previous seasons.
Sure, there is the bizarre, and aspects of epidemic football that will take some getting used to. I forgot how violent the game itself is. Bloodlust screaming. Shoulder pad clattering. Wolves whooping into the night. Enormous purple splotches, like that great red spot, grew on my hands watching these games, as I remembered, how absurd it is to actually play football.
