The NFL is a fucking beast. Football in general dominates all tv ratings, and is the most popular sport in America. From season to season, things have stayed relatively the same in the big picture. You can always count on Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. Having a great defense still matters. But most consistent of all, the Browns will be the Browns. This season however, shit has changed dramatically in the NFL timeline. Trades that shook the league to the core became normal. The contracts became bigger than imagined. Hell, even the TV broadcast booths got shaken and stirred. But perhaps the biggest change of all, was the absolute worst one.
See, for the past few years, I’ve always had the feelings that the Vikings had a better team than advertised. Harrison Smith and Eric Kendricks are studs. Danielle Hunter is fucking terrifying. Dalvin Cook is severely underrated. As true as all of that is, we always had the Zimmer cloud hanging over everything to fuck it up. Come to hear the news this past week that Zim was compared to the devil, everything we had been hearing was true.

One thing I always think about is how much I love football. A while ago, I was listening to the Power Trip After Party podcast, and Chris Hawkey brought up an interesting question: What puts a tickle in your stomach? What do you really love? A few things came up, but foolish the first thing I thought of was football. I really do love this shit. And I’m so excited that it’s back after the hiatus. Between all your fantasy lineups, bets and fall Sundays, I wish y’all the best football season ever. And it will be.
