Football is a fall season sport that happens to be the same time as the "silly season" (politics).  Football was always the alternative to the silly season.  Now it's become part of it. Last year I would not turn the games on until well into the first quarter so I avoided the silly season part.  This year i am not tuning in at all.  Has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing with the topic.  I'm just not interested in the politics.
