1. I get sick of NFL Draft coverage. Enough already. Everyone from Dan Banks to Todd Mc(I can't remember what I said yesterday, so I'll change my opinion again)Shay to that drunk guy at the bar comes out with 339 different opinions for 11 months preceding the draft. Then this past weekend we pretend like we need 600 cameras on every potential prospect so these guys can give us an opinion that will again have changed by next weekend.
95 percent of the guys picked this past weekend will be working in an office next to you in 4 years if they were smart enough to get their degree in college. The guy below, however, will have 257 names to read off again next year.I'm over it.
2. Fans are better. They are much more loyal, and not quite as generic. Well, except for Green Bay.
3. There are still STUDENT-ATHLETES out there. For every Clarrett, Dickerson, Mike Williams, etc., there are thousands of other athletes that work their tails off all year to entertain us for 12 Saturdays a year, and they still manage to graduate from school. I respect them.
4. Saturday - I don't have to go to work the day following a big college win. I do the day following a big pro win.
5. Styles of play differ. Look, I realize some pro teams are more physical than others, but the athletes are so good, there's little variance in playing styles. I like watching spread teams versus 3-3-5 defenses, and triple-option teams try to stretch out a 50.
6. College football equals no sports agents. Thank God.
7. Did I mention NFL Draft coverage.
8. Traditions like Tiger Walks, live mascots, 12th Man, the Iowa Sway, The Grove, Chief Osceola, etc., are non-existent in pro football.
9. College fans love teams. Pro fans love players.
10. I forgot my last one, while clicking off another draft recap.
