Unlike college football, which I commented earlier tonight snuck up on me, the kickoff of the NFL season will as always be a loooong time coming.
The difference, of course, is that college football doesn’t have a preseason nor fantasy football to suck up our attention during August. (They both have betting, but neither college football nor NFL betting is better than the other.) The NFL does, however, which makes it seem like we’ve been paying attention to the NFL for a long time without it really meaning anything.
Well next Thursday, when the Vikings and Saints reprise their titillating NFC Title Game from 2009, the games will start to mean something; and if you’re like me, it can’t come soon enough.
