a surfeit of football
We've had “Super Wild Card Weekend” (i.e. six wild card games instead of the previous four) twice now, which I think is officially a sufficient sample size to say that it sucks. The seven seeds don't belong there (because they aren't very good). The two seeds don't belong there (because we should have a bye). Six games is too many games. Sure, I could simply not watch some of these games, but I would still know that they were happening and that would be just as bad.
The Chiefs-Steelers matchup was actually extremely fun! Nick Allegretti caught a touchdown! Travis Kelce threw a touchdown! Neither of those things were supposed to happen (because Allegretti and Kelce are an offensive lineman and a tight end, respectively). That's apropos, because the entire game should also not have happened.
Luckily there were no real injuries during the game, so we were able to enjoy this Harlem Globetrotters-style performance with no regrets…this year, anyway.
