Man I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed an NFL game as much as last night. Two over 40 dudes making incredible throw after incredible throw. They literally put on a masterclass for how to play QB and professionalism. The value of vets. Flacco 10 days into the playbook just dissecting the defense. Fuck, right up to Rodgers just throwing a 70 yard Hail Mary like it was 2008 to end the game. If that was what the NFL was like all the time I wouldn’t need to bet it to stay awake

It was fun to see. Tom Brady was the last active NFL player older than me, and when he retired it made me oddly feel older than any birthday had. Nice to see the now old-guard out there slinging it.

Also really enjoyed the final score. Despite being a Vikings fan, the Steelers are my most hated team, for a few different reasons. The schadenfreude of Flacco being traded in division and then beating the Steelers. Chefs kiss.

Provided that Rich Hill is actually done, I'm now 11 years older than the oldest MLB player, as well as the same 11 years older than the oldest NFL player (Rodgers).

Feels strange when I talk about "old" players now, and they're over a decade younger than me.

Lol Ya, Rich Hill is the final domino for me in MLB. Slightly older than me.
