The value isn't in the product but rather the process. It was cool to learn about the four separate times Vinny Testaverde led the league in interceptions thrown, and it was maddening to discover that there's no real way to predict who will lead the league in receiving yards. How we think about individual season leaders is largely a reflection of how we think about offense (or defense) as a whole, and understanding those units is how we become smarter football fans.
Finally, there's NFL regular-season football on TV tonight. There are many little joys on the day of opening kickoff. Familiar pregame theme music gets us in the mood and, while the weather hasn't started to break yet, football being played means fall is coming. By Week 3, half of the league's fan bases might be in despair. But on kickoff day, hope reigns.
