…But that’s not Football. The National Football League is currently facing it’s biggest competitor to date. As the modern NFL is in the middle of it’s 43rd
year; its easy to see that it's having a mid-life crisis, the NFL has an
identity problem. Bill Cowher said it best but in reality what is football?
Just ask and everyone will tell you that football was the
best in the years of their childhood. Inevitable the kids of today will talk in
glory about the epic battles of the Seahawks and ‘9ers and how Manning was the Man.
So obviously I rebuttal with No, Dan was the Man.
But wasn’t the 90’s the epitome of Football. A Bloodsport
with perfect balance of run and pass. It would be the beginning of this new era
and the end of the recognizable version of its creation. The 90’s were a time
before we knew the players off the field and when we could truly cherish who
they became on it.
The NFL even as we know it is quickly going to change.
Bringing on yet another set of fans. As it becomes an offensive league some of
us are taking offence. But even in today’s football we can still catch a
glimpse of what the NFL was like and why we became fans.
As I sit here today watching these games being played in the
snow; I am mesmerized just like when I was 12. It’s not the fact that there is
snow on the field but the show on it. As it doesn’t matter how much you change
the game; Mother Nature will find away to please her kids. What is Football?
Football is a snowy day in Foxborough.
WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?
