7. I'm a lifelong NFL fan. For me, injuries are killing it.

The games move slowly enough, but now it seems like every five minutes, another injured player is being walked/carried off the field. By week 8, half of every team's starters are on the IR list. It's fucking ridiculous.

If I wanted to see carnage, I'd watch an MMA match. Even those guys end up in better shape.
