Hall of Fame Game: Football is Back, so Focus On It.

The NFL has been the talk of the nation. It’s not even preseason. Deshaun Watson just recently received a six game suspension for his repulsive actions. That now is being appealed by the NFL, who is looking at a longer suspension. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was suspended six games for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton. Along with that, they were stripped of their first round pick next season. Oh, and along with a 1.5 million dollar fine. Mix in Dan Snyder being a scumbag every three months, and the NFL just looks downright ugly. So while all of these scandals, law suits, and suspensions are going on, enjoy tonight. As fans who truly love this game, let’s just sit back and enjoy it all. Live football is officially back on television. It would be a lot cooler if it wasn’t a Raiders vs Jaguars preseason game, but it’s live football.

The NFL Hall Of Fame is one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. Only the best of the best (except Kurt Warner) are a part of this club. This isn’t the NBA, where if you win a most improved award, you get in. This isn’t the MLB, where writers either hate you or love you, so they decide your fate. This is a weekend we should all be celebrating. Legends like Dick Vermeil, Richard Seymour, LeRoy Butler, and Bryant Young are getting that gold jacket. It’s so unfortunate that we have to talk about all these scandals instead. So please tonight just focus on the game and the legends. Enjoy the game we love tonight, and then we can go back to the drama. I understand these are major situations that have happened in our league. They do need to be talked about. Not tonight. Give your attention to the legends. Give it to the 5th string cornerback who’s fighting for a spot on an NFL roster. Give it to the coaches who have been preparing for months to show what they got. Rejoice America, football is back.
