I agreed and will stick to the following. I am not investing every single one of my Sunday's to this football team in 2024.

There's 17 games in a season. I am going to give in and watch 8 games and potentially go to one or two of those 8 games.

The other half I am tuning out completely. It's just draining man. I owe it to myself, but, most importantly, my family.

I promise ill do something more on those days. It just seems unhealthy man. Ill be 36 next month on the 27th. The whole vegas and open support of gambling by the NFL is also bothering me more and more.

Just hard to trust the integrity of it all now.

Oh this sport has never been anywhere near perfect and probably never will be with how much 3rd party (ref) influence there is and has always been.  Infractions require the right ref to see it and many are subject to interpretation.  That allows for a pretty significant berth to intentionally affect outcomes if someone desired let alone unintentionally affecting outcomes.  And the embrace of gambling surely adds to that imperfection.  All the more reason to figure out how to really only be emotionally invested in good moments and try to disconnect quickly in bad.  Commtting some sundays to other real life endeavors works too.  Don't let the offseason drain you though.  You don't really know what the result will be until game day.  Unless Fortner is starting week 1.  Then we already know.
