presidential playoffs

all of this election talk feels like the week before the superbowl.
every season, I watch the regular season games to see who will make the playoffs.
then I watch the playoffs to see who will make it to the conference championship games.
and then when all the dust is cleared, there are two teams left to play in the superbowl.

but they don’t actually play it just yet.
there is a whole week where people talk-talk-TALK!
they review all of the games from the two teams.
they review the offence, the defense, the special teams.
they talk to the coaches, the players the ex-players.
they do inspirational stories on players from both teams.
the experts all make their picks.
they make dramatic montages and replay plays in slow motion.
and it gets to the point where I shout at my TV,
“NO MORE TALKING! JUST PLAY THE GAME!
PUT THE BALL ON THE FIELD AND KICK IT OFF!”

and that’s the way I feel about all of this election stuff right now.
talk-talk-TALK!
he-said-she-said-blah-blah-blah.
let’s hurry up and vote already!
NO MORE TALKING!
LET’S JUST VOTE!
sheesh.
