Contrary to what Football Guys will want you to believe, not all professional football is created equal.
It is, indeed, the highest level of the sport with the best athletes, coaches, and resources. But, my goodness, it is still consistently capable of producing some of the most unwatchable dreck imaginable.
By that same token, few things are as thrilling and captivating as quality NFL football. It’s like a sugar rush when you catch a glimpse of a team with an offensive identity, a brash defense, a superstar quarterback, and it oozes charm all around.
You simply want more, no matter how bad it is for you (check the ratings, trust me).

You just have to know where to look.
