Have you ever had a moment of absurdity? A moment when you’re thinking of something and when you put that thing in the context of something else, it feels foreign? Like the thing is a figment of your imagination
and it’s hard to imagine anyone else experiencing it but it’s actually a very common experience?
That was what I experienced just now thinking of the Jaguars playing the Chiefs. The Texans play them twice a year because division opponents get played twice a year instead of just once. But when I think of other teams playing the Jags, I just can’t picture it. And when I see it, like tonight against the Chiefs, it feels surreal for some reason; it feels almost like the Jags are some kind of weird universal punishment for the Texans but nobody can figure out what they’re being punished for or why this was the punishment they chose.
This is not helped by the fact that the Jags, somehow, have a better record than the Chiefs do. This just feels like a glitch in the matrix but I’m sure the universe will sort itself out in due time.
None of this makes sense, I’m sure, but I had to at least get it out there. Let’s get on with tonight’s game.
