The long wait for the nfl

As I sit here typing away at my keyboard my mind cannot get off one simple fact: football season is still a good three months away. The summer is like some giant "sports purgatory" where the only sports I can watch on TV are baseball (BORING!!!), golf (rather be playing), tennis (see golf), or some other non-contact form of sports. This wouldn't be such a huge dilemma if I could afford to play a round of golf every now and then or if tennis could somehow transform itself into a full contact sport. Random side thought....imagine Roger Federrer winding up to hit a beautiful down the line backhand when all of a sudden WHAM the ball boy takes him out...now that would be worth watching. Anywhooo back to reality where that ain't gonna happen. I've tried all different kinds of substitutes like summer fantasy football (doesn't have the same excitement without real football going on in parallel) or trying to watch the 162 game baseball season with the same energy I would devote to football. After four games I gave up....The only way baseball would be watchable is if they made the season 1/3 the length and shortened games to like four innings because no games have meaning and the fans are all fat idiotic morons who simply get drunk and debate the perpetual question of Red Sox or Yankees like it's some kind of feverish religion. I swear to you any day now we will see the first Yankee suicide bomber running into Fenway if the Bronx Bombers don't pull themselves out of last soon. Really about the only thing that gets me going these days in regards to sports is the gossip and rumor articles. I love reading about A-Rods mystery blond or the every day happenings of Tank Johnson's legal life more than watching two hours of track and field. Maybe it's time that we make athlete off-season gossip coverage it's own sport the same way celebrity gossip is somehow it's own category of magazines at this point. Nothing would make me feel better at this point than seeing Tony Romo's personal life getting plastered all over the front page and bringing about another personal meltdown like the one he had after that piss poor attempt at a field goal in the playoffs. Another random side note, this has to be the first time EVER that a QB and not a kicker made the Big Tuna so pissed off he retired. Anyway to sum the article...blah blah all other sports suck...I want football back NOW.
