Fans fill the offseason in any number of ways, but few of us get away from sports completely. In my case, I recently picked up Upon Further Review, an anthology of “What If” scenarios edited by Mike Pesca. It’s a fun read, and I’d recommend it for any sports fan who is looking for a distraction. However, one particular essay stood out, and it’s worth highlighting it for the football fans in our community. It’s a piece written by Nate Jackson, and it’s titled “What If Football Were Reinvented Today?”
Jackson has an interesting take on the issue, which might not be too surprising given his background as an undrafted free agent who managed to scrape together a six-year career with the Broncos as a receiver and tight end.
