Getting Over With Kickoff Thursday

The game wasn’t really all that exciting. Neither the Saints nor the Vikings were in anywhere close to top form. Dropped passes were the norm for both teams. Garrett Hartley was missing field goals like he had money on Minnesota. Even the final score was ho-hum. 14-9 just seems boring; especially since it wasn’t like both defenses were playing lights out football.

But thankfully, football is football and that’s all that really mattered today. The start of football season is always something that can be counted down all day long whether you are on the road, working outside or sitting in an office. Every hour you get closer to the coin toss. It makes the day go faster. Typically mundane tasks are less irritating and the minor annoyances in life are tuned out. Because once the return man opens the game none of the minutia from the day will matter anyway. The kickoff of the NFL season is all about getting over. For me, for you and for the league.
