I typically do this column the morning after the Super Bowl, but some health issues made that impossible this year. My apologies. Now that I have that out of the way, here are my 18 thoughts at the end of the 2018 NFL season.
1. The Super Bowl was as terrible as you thought it was.
Seriously, it was to football games what " Jennifer Lopez doing a Motown tribute" is to ideas. I worried for a second that perhaps I wasn't recognizing the greatness of a defensive slugfest, but I genuinely don't believe that's what actually occurred. I think the New England Patriots schemed very well. I also think Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Jared Goff were wildly unprepared for the moment. No matter how much ESPN's Trey Wingo screams at you ("but sir, this is an Arby's"), the game was garbage and there's nothing wrong with saying it out loud.
