Football is insanity, and we're all insane for watching it, let alone loving it.

If you just think of what these guys go through actually PLAYING this insane game at the ultra-rarefied level of the NFL ... well, it excuses much, if not everything, and we pipsqueak fans are certainly not the ones to be passing judgement, IMHO.

I am not sure about insanity, but it is such a low observation sport, it is hard to know if you are identifying the best team. But since the body can not stand playing 162 or 82 games in a season, we get to have 16 or 12 in college games determine who gets to compete in the post seasson. That is a pretty small sample size, yet I guess that is part of the appeal.

Fans apparently care less about determining who has the best team than having few enough games for them to keep track of. And I am a fan of the game too even recognizing this terrible shortcoming.

Why not? Ultimately we are the ones who pay the bills. Hell yes we can pass judgment on what we want to pay for.
