Alright, alright, let’s talk about this here football stuff, the 2024 NFL season, you know? They got these magazines, see? Pro Football Weekly, they call it. Been around since way back when, 1967, longer than I’ve been wearing these darn glasses! These magazines, they tell you all about the football, college and the NFL, all them players and teams.
So, this year, 2024, they say there’s a whole bunch of stuff to watch out for. Fifteen things, they say! That’s a lot, even for a young’un to keep track of, let alone an old woman like me. But I’ll tell you what I heard, what they’re yappin’ about in them magazines.
First off, they’re all worked up about the referees. Say there’s a “crisis” or some such nonsense. Well, I’ll tell you, them refs been makin’ bad calls since Hector was a pup! Always missin’ the obvious stuff, callin’ things that ain’t even there. This ain’t nothin’ new, I tell ya. But them magazine fellas, they make a big fuss about it.
Then there’s that Aaron Rodgers fella. He got hurt last year, you know? Broke somethin’ or other. Now they’re sayin’ he’s comin’ back. Well, good for him, I guess. He’s a good-lookin’ fella, that Rodgers. Reminds me of my Billy, God rest his soul, always had that sparkle in his eye. Anyways, they’re wonderin’ if he’ll be any good after gettin’ all busted up. Only time will tell, I reckon.
- They got these team previews, too. Tell you ‘bout all the players, who’s good, who’s bad, who’s gonna win. It’s all just guessin’, if you ask me. Nobody really knows nothin’ ‘til they get out there on that field and start bangin’ heads.
- And the draft! Oh, they go on and on about the draft. These young fellas, comin’ outta college, thinkin’ they’re all that. Some of ‘em are good, I guess. But most of ‘em just end up sittin’ on the bench, collectin’ a paycheck. That’s the way it goes, though. Life’s like that, full of disappointments.
Now, them Kansas City Chiefs, they’re the team to beat, accordin’ to these magazines. Say they’re buildin’ a “dynasty.” Whatever that means. Sounds fancy, though. They got that young quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. He’s a good one, I’ll give him that. Throws the ball all over the place, runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. But he wins games, and that’s all that matters, I suppose.
These magazines, they also talk about fantasy football. Now, that’s somethin’ I don’t understand at all. Makin’ up teams, tradin’ players, it’s all just a bunch of hooey, if you ask me. But folks seem to like it. Keeps ‘em busy, I guess. Better than sittin’ around twiddlin’ their thumbs.
Athlon Sports, that’s another one of them magazines. They do the same thing, talkin’ ‘bout the teams, the players, the draft, all that jazz. They got “anonymous scouting” reports, they say. That means some fellas are watchin’ the teams and tellin’ secrets, but they don’t want nobody to know who they are. Sneaky, huh?
So, that’s the scoop, as far as I can tell. The 2024 NFL season, it’s gonna be somethin’, alright. Whether it’s good or bad, who knows? But these magazines, they’ll sure try to tell you. Me, I’ll just watch the games, if I can stay awake that long. And maybe I’ll have a little nip of somethin’ to keep me warm. You know, for medicinal purposes, of course.
One thing’s for sure, football season is a big deal. Brings folks together, gives ‘em somethin’ to talk about. And that’s important, especially these days, when everythin’ seems so messed up. So, let ‘em play their games, let them magazines write their stories, and we’ll just sit back and enjoy the show. Or at least try to, before we fall asleep in our chairs!
