Who wants to see a Real Game?
So many people are getting ready to watch the last game of the year. I wonder how many people want to see a "Real Game." I am talking about one that displays the courage, and heart. The display of athlete's giving their all for the NFL's ultimate prize. I am curious to know how many fans will set and watch on Sunday and really understand the game.
Who will really appreciate the 2-yard runs, not just the big throws, or a defense getting a three and out and forcing the offense to kick the ball. Who will admire those few athletes playing on Sunday whose names aren't Brady and Manning. What fan really knows what it feels like to do there jobs so others look good. Who will lay it on the line and fight through pain and injuries. Win the clock strikes midnight, who will be left partying and who will be left to console.
I can appreciate just like others a hard-fought game, but I have to ask myself, does the average fan want to see a Real Game or a blowout. Many people can see themselves in the shoes of the Giants, going up against a Mountain, that has turned everyone back, or trying to do something 18 other teams could not. As a professional, I admire the courage it takes to stand up against the odds, after all if you never take a chance you will never know how successful you can be.
