Garbage time

It makes my blood boil when the Saints are down by 25 with 5 minutes left in the game, on the road and in the rain and cold ... and Brees is out there in an empty backfield set and throwing on every down!

I can handle losing, but lose with some grace. Play the game the right way. It's garbage time and we have our 100 million dollar QB methodically racking up 8-12 gains in a totally hopeless situation. What good can come of it, other than our team captain getting hurt?! Oh that's right, fantasy football! Well you can take your fantasy football and shove it somewhere. I'm done playing it and I'M NEVER GOING BACK BECAUSE I'M SICK of the mamby pamby picking up meaningless yards in meaningless situations. It's making a mockery of the game.

If Brees is peeved because he only threw one TD this game and wants to pick up a cheap one on the back end, well then his head and the coaches' heads are in wrong place. You want to talk about Goodell wussifying the league ... well we're doing our own part to wussify the game by putting FANTASY STATS ahead of team goals. Play it right and put in Chase and/or handoff to Ingram or perhaps Cadet.

Am I making too much of this?
