Why the Super Bowl is the Best and Worst Thing About the NFL.

Hey people who think the Super Bowl is awesome, shut your freaking mouths or I will find you and I will destroy you. Yes it is the biggest game of the year. And yes it is going to complete yet another great year of professional football. All the lights and the glamor and the commercials and the celebrities and the Hall of Famers and legends of the game are there on top of the two best teams in a game to decide who is champion based on 17 regular season games and two or three playoff games, depending on their regular season record. And at the end of the game either the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Green Bay will be the Super Bowl champions, leaving no questions on who the best team in the NFL is....except for the 2007 Super Bowl in which I am still convinced the entire country saw the game wrong and the Patriots actually completed their perfect season.....it happened, trust me.....I am sure our universe skewed into a different universe and back, changing our view of the actual outcome. I digress, sorry. Whether it be the Packers or the Steelers, I am sure the game is going to be very close and very competitive, which has been the trend over the last decade or so. And yet with all this being said, the Super Bowl makes me more sad and depressed than anything does all year. Do you want to know why??? Keep chirping little birdies because here it comes.

I want you people to ask yourselves what happens once the Super Bowl is over. Where you might feel glad that a champion has been crowned or happy that you saw a great game, I realize that there is seven months until I get to see football again. Seven excruciating months of 162 baseball games, March Madness and the NBA Championship which are all good, but let us be honest people, none of that can take the place of the NFL. The Super Bowl marks the end of the season and even saying that makes me get a little nauseated. What am I going to do with myself? Get a job? Child please. Just look what happened to my number of entries during the Bye week between the Championship games and Super Bowl. My site turned into a ghost town. (BTW, the Bye week before the Super Bowl is one of the stupidest things ever, but that is an argument for a different time.)

So is it wrong for me to want football year 'round? Maybe some of the players would be seriously injured. Does that make me a bad person? Maybe, but I am alright with that because I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So no one try to contact me the week after the Super Bowl because I will be under a rock in some corner of the world in the deepest, darkest depression. Given what actually happens in the Super Bowl, it might be simultaneously the best and worst thing to happen to me each and every year. And yet I always come back....damn you football...
