Football is my favorite sport right now. There is no doubt. Either playing or watching, it doesn’t matter, it is really fun and exciting. Having the ability to run around and hit people as hard as you possible can is not a chance you get everyday, unless, of course, you play football. But even if you don’t play football, it can still be enjoyable. Sitting on you r couch on a Saturday afternoon, what else do you watch other then college football? Even if you don’t care about either team playing, if it’s a close game, you have to stay around and watch it.
But just like any other sport, football drags on too long. 16 weeks of football, bowl games 3 weeks after the regular season is over, and the Super Bowl in February. If I played football for a living, I would just get tired of playing after a while. I think the high school season is just right. As of right now, at the beginning of the last week of the regular season, I’m thinking, “ok I’m starting to get tired of playing, but I can go for one more week.” Then comes sub-state and the playoffs, which rejuvenates everybody all over again because we all want to go out and prove that this season was not just a waste of time. Playing in the playoffs just gives you a good feeling because you can say you are better then over half the teams in the state. Winning in the playoffs gives and even better feeling, but I’m not going to go there until we actually do win.
Now I have been talking about football dragging on, but it is not even the worst. It is not even the second worst at dragging on. The worst is easily baseball, then comes basketball. Baseball is still going on right now on October 19. I thought baseball was a summer sport, but they start in the spring and play until the end of fall. I’m not interested in baseball, no matter if it’s the World Series or not, during week 9 of football. Maybe it has something to do with the ridiculously large number of 162 games played in the regular season. That’s just too much, I don’t care who you are.
Then basketball. I just saw a preseason game the other day, once again during week 9 of football. I thought basketball was supposed to be a winter sport. But they start in the fall and play into the spring, right during the time baseball starts. Its all so much, so many games played, so many practices, so many road trips. After a while, it just doesn’t seem like a game anymore.
