I'm glad you managed to get that out of your system.
I certainly agree with you. But I've gotten used to it. It's a lot like the draft. Pre draft these draft gurus and sportswriters pimp all of these players. Then after the draft they claim they know how to give teams draft grades before any of the players drafted have ever seen a snap in the NFL. When in actuality they're grading teams based on the teams that drafted the players they liked pre draft.
It's all a complete unknown. But the NFL isn't really a sport to those who own these teams. It's a business. Just like these "draft gurus" and NFL reporters. It's how they make a living. They need to have subscribers so they bleed it for every ounce of blood they can get out if it. Pre draft, the draft and post draft. They do the same thing with free agency. They do it with the combine. They'll be doing it with training camp and pre season.
It's a career for so many people. And they have turned the NFL into a 12 month a year product for consumption. A lot of it is nothing more than fluff, projection and opinion. Separating the wheat from the chaff has gotten to be a full time job for the fan base.
Neither them nor us know how any of these draft picks of all 32 teams will pan out. Neither they nor us have any idea who will even be going into the regular season healthy or who will be injured as the season progresses. There are a lot of people who find t entertaining to predict and even wager on such predictions. Any by all means if they enjoy that, more power to them.
