My Self-Imposed Football Exile

A couple of months ago as I prepared a roaring (insert eye roll) resurgence back into my blogging, someone asked if I was going to put up anymore rants. They called my blog a rant. I personally didn't feel that was accurate since I have put SEVERAL very informative blogs. The most popular of which is Murdered Out Cars and The Jacksonville Jaguars. How about Why I Usually Cheer For A Gator Win Florida-Georgia Weekend? Those are not rants. They are beautiful pieces of football art.

Then something else seemed to be happening. All of a sudden people/fans of mostly the Jaguar persuasion were eager to be associated with Jaguar fandom. They were starting pages, getting kicked out of pages for the wrong opinion, saying COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS things on FB fan pages, and worst of all, writing articles every 5 minutes about every hair on every Jaguar players head. The absolute pinnacle of ridiculousness was an article about how overrated Rashad Greene was/is. That was it. I'd had enough. I am a huge FSU fan and I'm sure everyone thinks I'm biased. That's fine and maybe I am. But I also know a good football player when I see one. Rashad Greene is a good football player. To add insult to injury, the blog itself was very Pro-UF. Now look. I try to be objective about talent of my favorite teams and be real with myself about good/bad they are. BUT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE PLAYED FOR FSU DOESN'T MAKE THAT PERSON OVERRATED. DONE. DONE. DONE.

After I cooled down, and let's face it, it took quite a while, I realized I wasn't ready to write again. I didn't want to say things/type ideas that were already said or go over and over the same things. What could I possibly have to say that hasn't already been said? People actually think I vent my spleen?!

I don't want that to be the perception. It's just not a good look for me.

I still have more things to say. Let's face it. This blog is for me more than everyone else. My whole life, I just wanted to be heard.

And sometimes, this blog is the only way that happens.
