I just watched part of this season's "Hard Knocks" which features the Cincinnati Bengals (or Bungles, as the case may be... felons doesn't quite fit as well or I'd use that nickname, for sure). It just reminded me why I absolutely freakin' love football. The intricacy and details, the number of variables that have to come together to create the perfect play - timing, athleticism, play calling, guessing, instinct, luck... it's truly incredible. Even miraculous that some of these plays can ever come together. To think about how many people are working to make these things come together blows my mind. And makes it like a sort of acrobatic display of athleticism. Like a giant spectacular show in Vegas where everything is choreographed and overwhelming and you only see the tip of the iceberg...
