Oh my goodness, good morning, good afternoon, whatever it is for you, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

My name is Zach Schomler. This is Strong Opinion Sports episode 627. Welcome in. It was a... I don't even know how to describe this weekend.

It was fun. First of all, I feel like I fell more in love with football this weekend.

Like, the games were not great.

Five of the six were blowouts.

Let's be honest.

We had one really, really great football game

and then a lot of blowouts.

However, even just watching the kick off of the Browns at Houston, right?

I felt this joy come over me like a playoff football it's it's just different

and when you watch playoff football and every single I mean look let be real, when you watch a football game,

every little single tiny thing that happens during a game matters.

It does. It all adds up to the final score, it all, and all year, you only get 17 games a year. Every snap has a huge

significance on the year. But I care more during the playoffs. When I'm watching a playoff game,

I'm watching every punt, I'm watching a playoff game,

I'm watching every punt, I'm watching every kickoff,

I am so much more engaged

because I know the loser goes home.

I don't know why that is, but man,

I felt just this love of football this weekend even though like I said a lot of the games were blow it's a lot of the games were I mean I'm not going to pretend like I didn't really really enjoy watching the Dallas

Cowboys get creamed.
