Anyone else a little confused about the NFL's slogan for the 2011 season? Don't get me wrong, I understand the message and what the league is trying to do, but "Back to Football"? Really? What exactly did we miss? Rookie mini-camps? OTAs? Free-agent signings? Correct me if I'm wrong but the 2010 season ended with the Green Bay Packers defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl. The 2011 season kicks off on September 8th. All we "missed" was a majority of the off-season.
But you know what? The slogan is working, or at least it seems to be. In fact, it makes you feel good just to say it, doesn't it? "Man I'm just glad this lockout is over so we can finally get back to football." Try it, it makes you sound like you were really strung out from the battle between the owners and players this off-season over a new collective bargaining agreement.
I'll be honest, I know it was an absolute nightmare for NFL execs, free agents and their agents once the lockout finally lifted...but man it was fun to watch. What was once spread over several months was done in a matter of days this year. And with the college football season kicking off Thursday night it is nice to know that we can now turn our attention...Back to Football!
