The NFL regular-season schedule for the 2012 season was released on April 17.The anticipation of this schedule release could make one think that their team’s season has already been decided in April. Of course, the New York Jets and Washington Redskins are amongst the teams who know all about “Paper championships.”
The one thing that sticks out to this football enthusiast is the Monday Night Football schedule. I was disappointed with the blandness of the schedule in 2011. I was particularly irritated that the Jacksonville Jaguars had received two games. While I give them credit for pulling off an upset in one of them (Baltimore Ravens), I just don’t understand why ESPN would want games that feature teams that make most people outside of Florida think “Who cares?”
As a Green Bay Packers fan, I’m obviously looking forward to the showdown between Aaron Rodgers and Matt Flynn on September 24. What game are you most excited about?
