Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

That single line honestly felt like a slap in the quietest way — “Dithering dilly-dally ducks drown darkly” sounds almost playful at first, but the more I sat with it, the heavier it got, like how procrastination sneaks up disguised as harmless stalling until suddenly you’re underwater. It made me think about how often I tell myself I’m “waiting for the right time” when I’m really just afraid to move. Was there a specific moment or regret that pushed you to boil this message down to something so blunt and sharp?
