Totally passed over this post when I first saw it, now I'm kind of intrigued. Totally skipping August though and replacing it with something else. I have a hard time thinking of something I care less about than football. Seriously, I'm more interested in what kind of fungus grows under the authors toenails than ANYTHING relating to football.
But it's strategy and theory of football. Surely there's something to it. I always wonder why we don't see more crazy trick plays, but the reason is probably that the strategy has been pretty well polished and ironed out. The only interesting desperation move is bringing the goalie out of the box when time is running out (if it's that kind of football). I hardly watch any professional sports and find it dull. But it was interesting to sit with a fan watching NBA on TV and have him explain to me what was going on. I saw eleven (I mean five, it's five, right?) tall guys trying to get the ball in the hoop. He saw something like chess played at 500x normal speed.
Sorry bud, this is a personal sticking point. I find the NFL to be criminally reprehensible at very best. I share almost the same animosity for the NCAA. And I know how easy it is for a high school kid to get serious brain damage without ever seeing the inside of an ER, of complaining of more than a headache. Among other issues. I have a limited amount of information I am able to absorb and digest. I will spend exactly 0 of that time intentionally trying to learn more about football. I can however talk for hours about this kind of stuff.But it's strategy and theory of football
