I haveno shame in telling you that before
every single football game, I’m cramming
like tomorrow’s thebigfinal exam inmy
college class. I don’t think you canever be
tooprepared. Forme, football’s really a
year-round job, even if I’monlyon the air
for eight games. I follow thepreseason,
training camps, thedraft…every single
bit of it. I want to know theplayers and
themanagers, the coaches and rivalries
andmatchups, and thegame itself, inside
out andupsidedown. In some aspects, it’s
like this amazingparty I get toenjoyonce
aweek in the fall, but it’s alsoexhausting.
