The NFL’s haves and have-nots, wrote Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, fit nicely into an airplane analogy.
“The 12 playoff teams will be seated in first class, sipping champagne,” Cote wrote. “The 20 eliminated teams will trudge ashamedly past them into coach, carrying a bawling infant and rolling a suitcase that won’t fit into the overhead bin, and headed for an assigned middle seat between an old lady complaining of nausea and a snoring 473-pound man in a tank-top.”
