Taking a new approach to the season.

Please don't take this as "I'm above the fray" post, but I did something recently that I wish I had done a long time ago.
Last week I was sitting there watching the game and I was beginning to believe that it was going to be the same old song and dance.
After the 1st quarter I decided to go do something else because it was nice weather and I just thought there were better ways of spending my time.
Of course when I checked the score later I was shocked. In the past I would have kicked myself for missing it, but I didn't have any regrets.
I had a great afternoon and watching a 15 minute highlight video was actually somewhat more satisfying than suffering through all the uncertainty in real time.
I've stopped talking about the games during the week and I don't give them much thought.
I plan on watching the entire game today and I think this new approach will actually help me enjoy it more.
Football is supposed to be fun but it's actually less enjoyable when you're over saturated with it, at least at this point in my life.
With that being said Who Dat

It's a good approach. Many years ago, when so many were wearing bags, people would give me free tickets to the games. While winning is the ultimate goal in this game, I focused on the effort, the execution, and the battles of individual players. After halftime, back then, you could move down and sit right behind the team. Being a fan is a bit like being a player in that when you loosen up and enjoy the moments, you are better than if you let the stress of winning every play keep you uptight and angry. As you say, football is over saturated and I really don't like Thursday night games, but if one takes that more relaxed approach, the game is far more enjoyable....

I still have fun watching, i just get over the high or low of the results (win or lose) quicker then i did when i was younger.
The thing about the Saints is they’re like next level frustrating

Yo some of you pussies arent meant for sports, and then you come on here with fricking opinions about the game.

Why not have the Saints game on your phone and do multiple things at once?
I am going to watch the Saints and red zone for early slot, but for 3pm and Sunday night I'm going to be doing projects around the house as I listen / watch

In the past I couldn’t miss a play of the game, I’m numb to them now. Granted I still watch but I don’t put them above real world things anymore like I used to

I get it Paddy. I went fishing in the gulf came back and watched the same 15min highlite reel.
