Sooie (6-26-08)

Coming to an arrested adolescent near you.

I'm actually fairly bored by the NFL. Professional sports in general, besides Major League Baseball, rank just a few rungs above pro wrestling with me. All that pageantry and money puts me off. See the NBA's ridiculously long, confoundingly organized playoff system, calculated to build the most fake excitement possible into games where even the athletes look bored. And the NFL's endzone antics and videotaping controversies fare no better in my head. Sure, the MLB has performance-enhancing drugs, but would you believe football players get by on fairy dust? You don't think Junior Seau —all 39 hulking years of him — has been injecting anything fishy of late? The man's gotta be held together by duct tape.

I manage to get excited about professional football and basketball exactly twice in each season:

1.) The playoffs (in the case of the NBA, the last hundred days or so).

2.) When a former Razorback takes the field or court. [more]

MLB is the definition of nothing on television. It's like the sh*tty appetizer you get at T.G.I. Fridays before you come to your senses, realize you're at a chain restaurant, skip out on the check (the remainder of the season) and go home and cook a damn steak (the NFL).

I bet you like the Cardinals.
