See what I did there? 😎
I admit I hadn’t payed much attention to the setup or format until recently, so forgive me for being late to the party, but this is nuts! Do you realize that at this point in the season that to get to the championship game a team is potentially going to have to play five (5) more games if they play in their league championship game and don’t get a bye-almost half a season? This is punishing physically and I know we gave up the ghost of “student athlete” a long time ago, but 5 more games-think about the ‘88 team, two major injuries and we were dead-even going to an 85 man roster may not help. These guys also don’t get bowl-type time to heal/recover, it’s every week.
I’m a contrarian and everybody is hyped about this new era, I’m just waiting to see how hyped the networks will be when they’re dealing with a title game where perhaps the Heisman winner is out with a foot injury or the odds on team has to play like the 49ers with a WR trying to quarterback the team in title game-makes for great television. Thank goodness these guys are getting paid, after 17 games there might not be enough left of a guy to draft or some of the NFL draft picks will need a redshirt year in the league to get healthy.
Get off my lawn! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😎
