I didn't watch one second of the NFL game last night. Instead, my TV was tuned to U.S. Open Women's Semifinals. I wanted to see Osaka, and was hoping to see Serena on her way to tying Margaret Court.

I'm just not "feeling" football season. I felt the same way about the NBA bubble at first, but have since found it to be compelling. Maybe I'll get more into it on Sunday.

But one observation I do have: cutting off media access to your team does nothing but mute the passion your fans have for it.
