All right, everybody. Let's do this. It's December 5th, year of our Lord, 2024.

You know, I can't really watch football anymore. I've noticed this.

I used to be able to watch any game, no matter what was on, no matter what teams were playing,

and I would find it at least somewhat entertaining.

Now I just have a hard time with it.

But I don't think it's the game itself.

Football is still a very good sport to play.

It's a good sport to watch, depending on the context.

But the NFL is just, it's unwatchable.

But in any case, one thing about football that I've always enjoyed is the way that really the flow of the game really dictates how things go.

In other words, you know, there's things that you do in the beginning of the game.

And the only reason that you do them is not because you necessarily think it's going to be do in the beginning of the game, and the only reason that you do them

is not because you necessarily think it's going to be successful in the beginning of the game,

but that you're looking to be successful at the end of the game when you really need it.

And one of those things are these running plays, where, you know, the running back gets, you know, handed the ball and he just dives

right into the pile and, you know, he gets one or two yards. He gets three yards. You know what I

mean? And it's just a very, it's not a very impressive play typically. It's one of those plays

that if your offense is struggling, you're like, why are we doing this?

You know what I mean?

What's the point?

You're only getting two yards, right?

But the point is that the running back is basically softening up the defense, essentially.
