Football is a throwback to another time.
In an era when you expect to get instant answers merely by looking at your phone, football is a process ... ... a hard-work job ... a journey. In this fast-food society where we today dwell, football takes steps. It is not quick. It is not easy. It is not for the faint of heart.
Football is hard work. Football is blue collar.
Oh, you can glamorize it a bit by throwing the ball all over the lot. But it still takes the big, strong, tough guys up front on both sides of the ball to spell success.
