Tonight there is a HUGE football game on. The two teams involved in the greatest rivalry in sports are meeting on the gridiron tonight to fight for glory. It is all on the line. Oh, and now I'm being told it is a bowl game....
This is all stupid. The latest attempt to make people care about preseason football is tonight when the Jets and Giants play in their newly named "MetLife" Stadium in another meaningless game. Don't buy the hype. It is still a meaningless game against two teams that are in no way real rivals. It is all stupid. The fact that they are starting to call this annual preseason game the MetLife Bowl, and will be playing for a trophy that probably looks like this is silly:
Preseason football doesn't matter. It is what it is, and if it were treated as such I would not have any problem with it. But the fact that ESPN and the NFL keep trying to make people think these games matter is just stupid. Almost as stupid as chugging tequila just because the song "You and Tequila" comes on. All in all bad ideas. Just like convincing us, and even feeding hype to the players that will no doubt get injured trying to play too hard in a meaningless game for an even more meaningless trophy, is a bad idea. I can wait two weeks for real football. I can wait a few months for when these two teams actually meet up in a meaningful December game. So please, spare me this hype.
