pigskin is love

dear football,

it is with great sadness that i acknowledge that you will soon be departing me. within two months (45 days, 25 hrs and 30 mins from the time of this post) you will be gone from me. alas, i assure you that the next seven months will be filled with my intent and intense listening and reading of all your adventures during the off-season. with rapt attention i will follow all your recruitments, hires, drafts and training camps, your off-the-field issues and rehabs. i already long for your return to my bosom. but enough sadness, let’s frolick and dance in joy during your remaining days with me. let us loaf around and wallow in the decadence of bowl mania and the playoffs. football, i love you.

lustingly yours,
aaron
