Tory writer George Will said of football that it combines the worst two things about America: it is violence, punctuated by committee meetings.
Whether or not you agree with Will, football season is again upon us. You can’t escape it.
Snake lines of young players can be spotted running through the streets around City schools. A new head coach of the St. Louis Rams is preaching greater attention to details and the return of the tight end to the offense. Tailgaters are bolting grills to their pick-ups and stocking wings in their freezers. And harried techs are busy connecting woofers to tweeters as sofa coaches warm up their new big screens.
Face it: it’s beginning to look a lot like football.
