So tonight is the opening of the NFL season. But oh wait, I don't really care. Basically you have a bunch of younger players that all think that they should have the million dollar contracts, so much so that they leave school with no degree and think that a sport is a solid career plan, even though one good hit could end their career totally. Then you have the people making the millions on their contracts, thinking they are above the law and untouchable. So they do things like drugs and such and if they get caught they have the money to make it go away, setting a horrible example for kids. Then you have old men who should have retired but are trying to relieve their younger days.
I prefer college football. The motivation isn't I'm making a million buck s cause I'm here, its this is something I take on in addition to my normal classes because I enjoy it. And yes, I realize that some players just see it as a setting stone to the NFL to make those big bucks, but it is still more of a game that the players are into.
And I am glad to say that the Mountaineers won their opener. They beat out Villanova 48-21. It would have been great if I had gotten to see it, but it wasn't televised out here. So I just had the game cast, which is not nearly as fun. But this week they will be taking on East Carolina. Hopefully we'll keep this streak going and put another W on the board.
