Football is back baby!
I wish everyone luck with #YourTeam unless they are playing #MyTeam.
Additionally - #DakSpatFirst.
That said it seems like the league will be making professionalism a point of emphasis and that has already generated some friction. Between that and the importance (or lack there of) of Dak triggering Carter, well some culture war fodder has popped out if anyone wants to go to the other thread for that.
Some things I'm looking forward to:
-Just how bad the Saints are going to be.
-Finding out if we get Good 49ers or Bad 49ers.
-Which team will win the NFCE since the Eagles are curse ineligible.
-How much of a shit show the NFCN will be.
-Will Chiefs performance have an impact on Swift's relationship.
This is highly inscrutable to me, barring the reference to Taylor Swift's ?fiancee ?husband. Still, I hope that everyone has fun!
I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor and Travis are already married.

Oooooooooh. Me teach sport. Real football. Or fake football? Ball touch foot less, maybe fake.
-The start of the season was last night and within six seconds of the game starting two black players spat at/on each other on national television. Both were some of the most important players in the game. The NFL had decided to emphasis professionalism this year. Oops.
-One of the teams (the Saints) engaged in very risky and tricky team composition management for years and now are dealing with the fallout in a catastrophic hilarious fashion. They are so so bad (at least on paper).
-One of the historically better teams in the league (49ers) seems to alternate between nearly winning it all and sucking ass on a yearly basis. It's funny.
-One of the divisions (NFCE) has had exceptionally good parity, no-one has "won the division" in back to back years in decades. Eagles won last year (and the Super Bowl). Will they break the curse?
-One of the divisions (NFCN) was comically competitive last year, with three out of the four teams being arguably some of the best teams in football. Will they take a step back?
-Chiefs. Yeah you know this one.
I appreciate it, even if I'm still left dazed and bemused. Maybe I'll get to catch a game live when I'm visiting the States this year!
Football is a different beast than most sports and has a shocking degree of complexity for a bunch of large men ramming into each... - don't worry you don't have to pretend to pay attention.
Although picking up the other football will likely have professional benefits for you given your practice location.
Better at diagnosing CTE and concussion? I could use that.
I mean soccer aka football.
Always useful to have something you can talk to patients about. It can distract them, calm them down, normalize you, establish empathy, whatever.
It can be hard to be a normal person in medicine.
