You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
Week to week in the NFL.
It’s unpredictable and random like spilling confetti in a wind tunnel.
There is absolutely no consistency. 20 teams are 1-1 after two weeks. One win. One loss. 20 teams. It’s an NFL record.
Case in point: The Cowboys beat the Giants in week 1.
The Pundits predict the Boys are back. They’re going to the Superbowl some drunken slob says on the radio.
The Giants lose. So the so called experts say there is trouble in the Big Apple.
Week 2, the supposed superbowl bound Cowboys look sleepless in Seattle. They look as flacid as an old man without Viagra.
Meanwhile the G men come back on Tampa and win a thriller.
So what does that tell ya? Apparently not much. Anyone can win. Anyone can lose. It’s like kissing your sister.
Across the country, Washington and RG3 beat New Orleans in week 1. Everyone wants to elect RG3 to the White House. Week 2 RG3 plays well, but his skins lose and suddenly there is gridlock inside the beltway.
The Eagles win ugly week 1. They win uglier and closer in week 2.
But they are 2-0.
In many ways this is pig skin socialism at work.
Need more?
Chicago beats Green Bay week 1.
Week 2 they look like burnt toast regurgitated onto a Saltine. Suddenly everyone is questioning everything about the Bears.Is QB Cutler a leader, a stooge? TRADE HIM?
Then there are some teams like the Titans that lost convincingly in week one and then traveled to San Diego to lose emphatically with a bullet in week 2.
The NFL is predictable like a homeless man with a bottle of wine. Week to week to week, things change.
Any given Sunday any team can beat any other team in the NFL.
It’s sports equivalent of socialism. A team in Green Bay the smallest NFL market can play just as well as the New York Jets, the biggest market in the NFL.
Why? because they are under the same financial constraints. The Giants have the same salary cap as the Packers.
SOCIALISM
Ironic that the favorite sport in this capitalistic country is based on barbaric violence that is perpetuated by economic principles that make Wall Street traders nauseaus.
Baseball loves capitalism where the big markets consistently win. That’s why the Yankees are always in the mix. That’s why the Dodgers are going to compete. More money buys better players. Better players bring more championships.
But America yawns when it comes to baseball.
The NFL is America’s game. It puts blood in our special place.
America’s game is a sport where everyone has a chance to win the Super Bowl.
NFL socialism. And that is crazy.™
