QUICK SLANTS: The NFL season so far. (NFL)

 Well, were already at Week 7 of the NFL season, and I'm going to list what the main points have been thus far, and where things might ultimately be heading as we progress even further. Let's get started then, shall we?

1) The Giants suck. Thursday night's game was an unmitigated disaster, with the Giants really doing a lot of nothing, and having little to no rhythm whatsoever. I'm really not understanding what it is that head coach Joe Judge is trying to do, nor do I understand what QB Daniel Jones is doing on any given game day. He tries to make plays, but ends up making things worse. And no, the last thing anyone wants is to see Colt McCoy start instead. That would be a very bad idea.

2) Carson Wentz should be benched. I'm sorry, but his ten interceptions is the highest in the league, and his decision making process is brutal at best. Watching that TNF game between his Eagles and the Giants was painful in more ways than one, and watching Carson Wentz takes the cake. That man needs to be benched for a while, as I don't think he's capable right now of being a starter. He throws into double and triple coverage, tosses laterals that are questionable at best, and can't seem to complete much of anything. Something's got to give in Philly.

3) NFC East. What a terrible, nasty division in which the eventual division champion will make it into the playoffs with a significant losing record. That whole division is a mess, with the Cowboys now missing their starting QB, the Giants don't know how to win, the Eagles are a mess, and where do I even begin with the Redskins right now???

4) Injuries. More and more players are getting injured at an alarming rate, and if you play fantasy football as I do, you'll know this is a disaster in more ways than one. I've seen a lot of injuries in all the years I've been a football fan, but this season takes the proverbial cake. If this keeps up, the NFL will need to bring in some local farm animals to round out the rosters of most teams. Not sure why this season is so bad with the injuries, but it can only get better from here on in, right?

Thoughts on the NCAA schedule this season. (NCAA)

 Several weeks of the NCAA football season are now in the books, and I have personally managed to catch at least a game or two in each of those weeks. The thing I really don't understand however, is why most conferences are only playing within themselves. Now, I know someone is going to start yelling "COVID-19!" right about now, but I am going to stop you right there. It's a poor excuse to only play inter-conference games, and I will tell you why.

1) Lack of proper competition.

One of the main things that makes NCAA football so enticing is the diverse match-ups due to the large amount of schools that participate in the top tier, as well as the histories that encompass many of the rivalries and battles that we get on a normal week of action. Yes, there are some schools within the same conference (TCU vs. Texas is one example) that have decent rivalries, but we as football fans expect that sort of thing, and can't just live off inter-conference games.

2) Rankings.

The bigger question here is to how this will all affect the rankings when the regular season comes to and end. How can there be proper rankings this season with mainly inter-conference games? Teams are not properly challenged by that diverse schedule that we usually get to see every year. I am of the opinion that rankings should have maybe been reconsidered for this season under these circumstances, or completely put aside so as to not get it wrong.

3) Bowl games.

Just like with the rankings, the bowl games might not be much more than inter-conference match-ups that we have either already seen, or do not desire. I for one, am not sure what to expect when the slate of bowl games come around, nor do think it will be business as usual. In any case, the players and the fans will both end up getting shorted due to all of this.

As much I love college football, more thought should have gone into the season before any decisions were made, and this may all end up backfiring on the NCAA in a big way.
