NFL head-scratchers

We love the NFL. It’s OK to admit it.

We love the passion and tradition of Saturdays, but the football product in the NFL is so much better.

Plus, as frequently as the Falcons fracture my feelings, a lost Sunday is nothing compared to the agony Auburn injects into my life. The NFL is a perfectly structured operation, at least off the field. On the field, there are several changes that need to happen – looking at chipped and GPS-located balls for starters – but that’s a conversation for another day.

The salary cap. The structures of the roster. The importance of the draft. The growing intrigue of the trade deadline. The impact of injuries – and there are always injuries – across the game and the league.
