NFL Games Worth Waking Up For

NFL Games Worth Waking Up For

One of the things that sucks about being an NFL fan based in Australia are the kickoff times for the majority of the games. Primetime games aren’t too bad in Brisbane since they start at 10:30 and 11:30 but the CBS and Fox games are at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning and then 6:30 and 7:30. For most adults the late games are doable but personally, I’m not a functioning human until that second or third caffeine hit, therefore, motivation to get out of bed before the sun can sometimes be lacking. Of course some weeks there are just awesome games that you need to get up and watch live so here are some of the best non-prime-time games that the NFL has scheduled this season, each team will only get one mention here just to spread it out a little bit.

The Therapeutic Value of Sport

It’s still somewhat difficult to process what happened yesterday in the Boston marathon and believe it as real. What was most shocking about it was the unexpected nature of the attack, the people there were supposed to be safe, out of harm’s way. You do not expect a marathon to be targeted that way but it was and whether this act was done by a domestic or foreign person or group, it will no doubt scar those involved for life.

Personally, despite the fact I have no ancestry or heritage in Boston, it has long been my favorite American city because I follow all the sports teams there, it felt like an attack on my second home. Even though my ties to the city are tenuous at best and I am still yet to visit there, I still feel connected to the place. But as is always the case in an event like this the best way for people to heal and move on is through sports.
