Wait. The Broncos play WHO tonight?
The Ravens are in town, right? Their plane landed yesterday? Oh, boy this is exciting. The big NFL kickoff is finally here. All of the anticipation and hype has come down to this opening-week Thursday night clash with the mighty …. Arizona … WHAT!? The Cardinals!? The Broncos play WHO!? Oh, man.
But all we have been hearing about all week is the Flacco posters and how the league paid off the city to pimp the big game and how Vic Lombardi almost got himself arrested for desecrating one and how Denver is going to be in the national spotlight and how the Broncos must get revenge against the team that ended their 2012 campaign. Nobody said anything about the Arizona stupid Cardinals.
Don’t we play these guys every year in the preseason? Can’t we just get to the real stuff? Maybe the Denver coaches will learn a thing or two tonight, watching guys who are going to get cut crash into Cardinals players … but we won’t glean anything out of it. We’re all just going to be sitting in our living rooms pining for actual football to start. Why bother with this crap.
At least we aren’t season ticket holders. Can you imagine being forced to pay the same price for this joke of an exhibition game that you would to see the Ravens come to town? For what? To see Larry Fitzgerald sitting there watching the second tick by until he can change back into street clothes? Hey, at least Von Miller’s going to trot out there …
