Bless These Balls

Much to the consternation of many of my colleagues and associates, I'm just not that into the NFL. Some call me a sissy. Others think my refusal to field a fantasy football team is weird. Tonight's season opener between the Giants and the Redskins doesn't hold much interest for me. My emotional investment in sports is dedicated to baseball and basketball. I'll admit that it's not always easy to maintain an even keel through utter devastation and disappointing player behavior.
