Like any other person who writes for this or any other NFL SB Nation blog, I love football. Growing up on Halloween, I was a Texas Longhorns football player. Birthdays were spent at football games. I think I bought a new helmet on my 14th birthday. My high school girlfriend, who went to a different school than me, was introduced to the semi-intimidating squad of friends at the Friday high-school football stadium. Despite my love affair with this sport, I know somewhere, deep down, there is something innately wrong with the the game of football.

The athletes have become too big.
