re: Anyone else sort of feel unexcited about the upcoming season?

Two consecutive years with two frustrating endings.

I was able to reignite the fever last year, post Minneapolis Miracle, then the No-Call happened, and it zapped my energy, knowing it’ll take another September to January sustained effort to attempt a successful title run, with no guarantee of a happy ending.

Got fairly interested in the NFL draft despite no 1st rounder and even free agency moves, but then Zion and the Pelicans Rebirth has consumed all my sports fervor. (The birds will be must-see tv.)

I’m sure when LSU and the Saints kickoff, I’ll be back to normal football levels, especially if there are early nice wins. But for now, I have no significant football itch.
