Greetings fellow football fans!
I know, I know, you think us coaches are all about football and x's and o's, but, when Super Bowl Sunday comes around, I turn into a fan like a million others.
I, for one, know this game is more popular than ever because of one simple thing: Spirit of competition.
Nothing more.
Oh, sure, there's a lot of pre-game hype, two weeks of press conferences, absurd amounts of cash spent on advertisements, non-stop media coverage, completely made-up drama, celeb interviews about the game, predictions, over-analysis by former players and coaches, fireworks and smoke at opening introductions resembling a WWE match and the constant drumbeat of the media telling you how popular the sport is....
I get it.
But, gambling? That's where you lose me?
You mean to tell me that a major contributor to the popularity of this sport is due to gambling?!? PUH-LEASE! It's about spirit of competition, rivalries and pageantry of football...and NOT about how many points are scored, what the score is at the end of each quarter, the point spread, prop bets or fantasy points. Folks, it's not about that.
Just enjoy the game and don't put any money on it. Watch what happens! You'll really enjoy watching other people win money on it while you try to manufacture enthusiasm for a team you don't care about. That, ladies and gents, takes character.
and that's what it's really all about.
Coach
On Jackals!
