I'm not really sure what the point of this thread is exactly. I just thought I'd start one where quite a few of us could agree on something, and we could gripe about how much the waiting game stinks.
This week, the week leading up the start of the season, is BRUTAL for me. If I could hibernate for 7 days I would. The offseason in general can be a chore. There's the lead-up to free agency, the lead-up to the draft, and all sorts of waiting. But none of them compare to this one IMHO.
We've now been teased with so much. We have the previously mentioned free agency and the draft, we've had the preseason, and now we've got college football underway. We're so close to kickoff. And now we're going to get a week that is chalk full of coverage, filled with matchup breakdowns, injury reports, spreads, and fantasy lineups.
There's a few comparisons that I think I can make to this week, and how much I want to speed through it. One is the week before Christmas when you're a kid. All you can think about is opening your presents, and each day leading up to it seems longer than the last. Another is the last week of school before break. You're so close to being done you can almost taste it. You spend a lot of the day just watching the clock. And there's another waiting game that can be a ridiculous tease but I'm not sure it's appropriate for the board.
Anyways, I kinda just wanted to ***** and moan about something. This week takes forever. And if anyone has any ideas on ways we can pass the time this week, other than having the same conversations for the millionth time, then I'm all ears. Maybe we could start a hangman or tic-tac-toe going on this thread. Anyone heard any good jokes?
