I Wanted Brady vs Big Ben

Don't get me wrong.
I enjoyed the just finished NFL Playoff Weekend as much as the next guy. The end of the Viking game was arguably "one for the ages"
Much like the "IMMACULATE RECEPTION"
What It Is, Ain't Exactly Clear...
Brady vs Big Ben ... Matty vs Drew
You know . . . Like Nicklaus vs Palmer
WHAT WE WANTED -- Brady, Big Ben, Ryan and Brees

WHAT WE GOT -- Brady, Foles, Bortles and Keenum

Instead, we get Brady vs Foles (I think that's right") Or is it? . . .
No, Wait! Patriots play the Jaguars... So that's Bortles (Right?)
OK . . . I got this. . . . Just give me a sec . . .
And . . . . that leaves Case Keenum (Vikings) vs Foles (Do I know his first name . . . Oh yeah, NICK.! And that's the Eagles? RIGHT?
Bill Belichick
Patriots' Head Coach
One more time . . . Are the Eagles in the NFC or AFC? Eagles vs Patriots? No . . . That's not right. Is it? Did the Eagles, Jaguars or Vikings play in the Super Bowl last year?
I guess what I'm saying is there is no history here. There's no back-story.
My wife (the lovely Miss Donna) argues that men watching sports is the same as women watching soap operas.
She says that (men) watch highlight after highlight. She says that men consume statistic after statistic. We wait for the standings. We wait for the results to see if our guys are now better off than they were yesterday.
"SAME AS SOAP OPERAS," SHE SAYS.
Sports Center and all of the other "talking heads" on ESPN will spend the rest of the week trying to convince us that there is a STORY and that next weekend's round of games is truly meaningful.
They're mistaken.
Blah, blah, blah.
There's no playoff "story" this year. It's kinda like tuning in to "Days of Our Lives" for the first time in season twenty-two.
It's like tuning into the Stanley Cup Finals when you have not seen a hockey game all year.
Who are these teams? coaches? quarterbacks?. And will someone tell me why I'm supposed to be watching?
BOTTOM LINE -- Does it really matter? No . . . It doesn't matter at all.
Let's just give the damn Super Bowl trophy to Bill Belichick and Tom Brady get and on with the NFL Draft. I hear there's a bunch of new QB's coming out of college for next year.
Scary Thought -- I think my wife is right.
And, you know what? I definitely have to stop listening to her.
