Is There Any Football Games On Tv Tonight
Okay, let's be honest. Are there any football games on TV tonight? The age-old question. The one we ask ourselves while simultaneously knowing the answer is probably yes. Probably multiple games.
Sometimes I feel like my TV remote only knows how to land on sports channels. It's like a magnet, eternally pulled toward ESPN or NFL Network. And let's be real, my family is addicted too.
The Endless Football Cycle
It feels like football season never really ends, doesn't it? As soon as the Super Bowl is over, the draft is starting. Then training camp. Then preseason. Then… you know… actual football. It’s like the circle of life, but with more helmets.
Must Read
Don't get me wrong. I can appreciate a good game. But is it always a good game? Is every single play worthy of my undivided attention? That's where my unpopular opinion starts to bubble up.
My Scandalous Confession
Here it comes. Brace yourselves. I... sometimes... prefer watching something other than football. I know! Blasphemy! Call the commissioner!
I'm not saying football is bad. I'm just saying... maybe there's room for other things. Like, you know, documentaries about the mating habits of the Bolivian tree lizard. Or competitive cheese sculpting. (Okay, I made that last one up... but it sounds intriguing, right?)
My wife loves watching football while I enjoy cooking some snacks for everyone. It is a great deal for me!
The Quest for Sanity (and the Remote)
So, what's a sane person to do when faced with the perpetual onslaught of pigskin? Negotiate. Compromise. Bribe with snacks.
Maybe you can suggest a movie night. Perhaps a board game marathon. Or, if all else fails, you could always hide the remote. (Just kidding! ...Mostly.)
Another way, maybe just leave the house and go see a movie? That's what I usually do and the cinemas are not that busy!
Finding Your Football Balance
The truth is, finding the right balance is key. Enjoy the games if you enjoy them! Cheer for your team! Wear your lucky jersey! But don't feel pressured to watch every single snap if you'd rather be doing something else.
The key is to be happy and enjoy yourself. After all, that's what football is supposed to be about, right? Fun! (Unless your team is losing. Then it's about existential dread.)
Ultimately, the choice is yours. But next time you ask yourself, "Is there any football on tonight?" consider this: maybe, just maybe, there's a whole world of non-football entertainment waiting to be discovered. Embrace it! (Or at least watch one episode of that Bolivian tree lizard documentary.)
And remember, it's okay to admit you need a break from Tom Brady. Even Bill Belichick probably needs a vacation sometimes.
So go forth! Explore! And may the odds be ever in your favor… of finding something good to watch that isn't football. Unless, of course, you really want to watch football. Then, by all means, enjoy! But maybe record that cheese sculpting competition, just in case.
I have a friend who likes to watch the NFL. The only reason he watches is because of Taylor Swift. Isn't that hilarious?
