FRISCO, Texas – I would love to roll my eyes at the sheer stupidity of the NFL’s schedule release. It’s typical of this league to monetize and magnify a mundane event into must-see TV, and it’s just another in a long line of exaggerated “events” that make up the long offseason.
But the honest truth is that I woke up Thursday feeling like a kid on Christmas morning – knowing that by nightfall, I’d be privy to all the juicy matchups and primetime showdowns of the 2017 season.
So I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t like the game the NFL plays for its offseason events, but I’m too hopelessly addicted to football to try to ignore it.
