A Season of Mehs and Uhhs

I am not a die hard football fan by any means, but there's something about the start of football season that makes me happy.  Probably because I know summer is almost done, and Fall is right around the corner.  I like watching the games, sometimes intently, sometimes as a background to cleaning or some project.  We're several games into the season now, and I must say that I've been rather disappointed in the NFL.  It could be that my region apparently has decided that it can't ever show a game featuring my home team (GO SEAHAWKS!!!  even though you suck right now) or that my new state doesn't even have a professional team, thus making it continue to be on my top 5 list of states that suck.

Whatever the reason, I am not getting into the NFL this year, and frankly, it's depressing.  (You know what else is depressing?  Knowing that the best fried chicken in the state comes from KFC.... it just makes me weep.  Food here also sucks.)  I'm watching the Patriots/Cowboys game, and while the score is close, I am just not finding myself engrossed in the game either way, and I seriously hate both teams, so you'd think I'd be able to pick one (Patriots) and hope they lose.  Between lackluster plays, and Vick's whining about his teaming being horrible (when the bastard shouldn't be playing in the NFL anyway, and should still be locked in a dark solitary hole for the next 30 years, imo), and the commentators  redefining boring, the NFL is losing me this year.

I just haven't seen a team really stand out yet or even a player.  I guess the 49ers are doing better than I expected, but I have to hate them, because they're in my league, and they're doing much better than the Hawks.  (then again who isn't?  Oh yeah... the Colts.  ha f-ing ha, Colts.)  What's it going to take to get me to like the NFL this season?  Maybe nothing.  Maybe it's just me.  Or maybe they can all stop acting like a bunch of over-indulged children and actually show some humility for once.  Or maybe some of those guys can get a damn haircut (yes, I suddenly turned 90) so I don't have to stare at their dreds sticking out from their helmets.  (Seriously, what's more disgusting than a dredlock, especially on a white guy?  Gross.)  Someone needs to stand up and start shining.  Or someone who is shining needs to really start sucking.  Either way, I'm good with that, and it would at least add some interest to an otherwise unimpressive season.

Am I the only one who feels uninspired by the NFL this year?
