The Wait is Almost Over!

The two week wait between the conference finals and the Super Bowl sucks. There's been football on every Sunday since September 8th, and then they decide to take a week off. Why? So I can listen to Michael Irvin talk and talk? So Chris Berman can get more airtime with his "2 Minute Drill But I'm Going to Talk for 20 Minutes" segment? So every former player that ever played in a Super Bowl can get off of their Lay-Z-Boy and get back in front of a camera or microphone?

The real reason (supposedly) is to give players a week of rest so that everyone is healthy in order to make a better game. Well then why not have a week off between every game to give players the chance to get healthy? Or just have one game a month so players with sprained ankles can be back for the next game?

The only reason behind the week off is so the media can keep spouting nonsense. The players don't like it...they'd rather just get out there and play. As a fan, I don't like it either. Too much talking about absolutely nothing. Just get out there and play.

And once it's over, the only problem is the 7 months until next season.
