Hmmm...

You know, this is the second weekend in a row that I've flipped on a football game and, after a few minutes, found myself thinking "who really gives a damn?"

And before you start snarking about the 'Fins being 0-3, that's not the reason. I'm thinking it instead has something to do with how much more into baseball I've been this year, with its very different rhythms, cycles and nuances. After spending the weekend with the Llama-ettes watching the Nats get taken apart by the Phillies (except yesterday afternoon), and talking about batting averages, bullpens, strike zones and pennant races, I find my interest in watching a bunch of guys crash into each other has tailed off significantly.

Will this trend continue? Will it only last through October, with my enthusiasm for football reviving when the Series is over and there's nothing else to watch? I dunno.

RATIONALIZATION YIPS from Steve-O: Nah, don't believe him: it's because the Fins suck Donkey Kong. At our abode, excitement in Boston College's great football season is displacing all else--that, and glee over Notre Dame's complete meltdown. Remainder bin anyone?
