Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
If John McCarron had asked me, I could have told him years ago that there is life without the NFL (“Confessions of an NFL dropout,” Op-Ed, Jan. 19).
Football Sundays do have their good points. On Football Sundays I can paddle my canoe without fear of being run over by a speedboat or the No. 1 idiot toy–a jet ski. I can pedal my bicycle on nearly deserted roads and, later in the season, I can cross-country ski without having to listen to the incessant howl of the No. 2 idiot toy–the snowmobile.
Don’t go back, John, it’s a beautiful, peaceful world outdoors on Football Sunday.
