Consider this my August article. To paraphrase Jimmy Buffett, it must be August 31 somewhere.
My colleague Trevor Freeman broke down the NFC this past weekend and mentioned how baseball has become “unwatchable” for him. Alas, unlike this sad soul, I am still watching the Sox on a nightly basis, and I generally hate watching preseason football, so it usually takes me a little while to mentally adjust to football. Watching preseason football, to me, has always seemed like watching someone else play blackjack—sure it can be entertaining, and you can make comments about the play, but it’s no fun unless it’s real.
