You there, fellow New Yorker! It's Thursday, and you know what that means... Besides questionable life choices involving deli pickles for breakfast (we've all been there), it's almost prime time for some NFL gridiron action... assuming the NFL season isn't busy replacing grass with laser tag arenas by now.
But Fear Not, We Seek the Goods!
Since remembering what day it is can be a challenge in this city, let's navigate the thrilling world of televised NFL games happening this weekend for the athletically inclined (or those strategically using football as an excuse for a dip into buffalo wings).
Here's the thing, though: It's still April, buddy. The NFL draft just wrapped up, and those rookies are probably still trying to decipher the hieroglyphics that is a coach's playbook. There ain't no games on the horizon, at least not for another glorious few months.
Don't Panic (But Maybe Stock Up on Dip)
Now, before you drown your sorrows in a bodega egg cream, there are options! Here's a little something to hold you over until the pigskin starts flying:
- Relive the glory days: Dust off your replica jerseys and fire up some classic NFL games. You know, the ones where phones weren't glued to our hands and touchdowns felt earned, not aided by a replay booth the size of Rhode Island.
- Embrace the Offseason: Catch up on the draft gossip! Did your favorite team snag a game-changing linebacker, or are they destined for another season of "moral victories"?
- Channel your inner sports analyst: Become the armchair expert you were always meant to be. Fire up social media and tell everyone exactly what your team needs to do to win next season (spoiler alert, they all need more cowbell).
Remember, New York, while there may not be football on TV this weekend, there's always a never-ending supply of entertainment in this city. So grab a slice, take a walk in the park, and dream of those future Sundays where you can yell at the TV in glorious harmony with your fellow New Yorkers.
