With the season’s first week wrapped up, I find myself with that familiar feeling I’ve always known in September: the prospect of four more months of football. I wrote a few weeks ago about how I wasn’t really excited for this season due to the circumstances that are 2020, but after this first week, I’m feeling better.
Part of this feeling is the structure the National Football League provides to the week, with games happening each Thursday night, all day Sunday and Monday night. The excitement that builds throughout the week as you wait for your team to play is unmatched by any other sport, and the only thing that compares to an NFL Sunday’s buffet of sports action is March Madness.
