This ain’t real football

Apparently complaining is the real national sport

People have been complaining about too much passing since the first pass was thrown. It is a grand and storied tradition of the game, and one passed down through the generations. It has, in fact, been football for a long time, yet it has continually changed. That is the great thing about the game of football, because the power I, the wishbone, the shotgun, the wildcat, the run-n-shoot, the fumble rooskie, the surprise onside kick, the zone blitz, the dime, the 46 defense, the stretch play, and the hook-n-ladder are all football. No other sport has seen as much adaption and innovation and strategy changes and position changes as football over the last 100 years.

What will football be like in 2050? I don’t have any idea. But whatever it is, it will still be real football.
