    when i was younger, i used to watch the college football because that was the thing everybody was into around me. it was interesting enough because i could read the formations and play types, and in college shit's looser so weird option and trick plays are more likely than NFL. flea-flickers, screens, laterals, fake punts. i lived for that bullshit. show me the razzle dazzle.

    when all the CTE shit came out, i stopped watching. i should have known better in the first place, but i didn't. once everything came out, i naively assumed the sport would die. i am ashamed and disgusted that people still watch it. i think all of the owners, head coaches, and athletic directors should be in prison.

    99% of deceased, tested NFL players' brains were positive for CTE. 99 fucking percent. 91% for college+high school and 21% for high school only. i get really heated about this. i talk heavy, awkward shit to any remaining "friends" who still watch it. i refer to it as "concussion ball" and ask them if they noticed any "sweet" hits that locked somebody into a future murder/suicide.
