every year i try it, and i get to about opening day kick off. its a sickness that we get so invested into this team/game. Then kids come along and they never stood a chance- theyre in too.

I love the 49ers but I view football as entertainment, one of several escapes I have that allow me to enjoy life, get away from the daily rut and have some fun. This isn't life or death. It isn't watching your 7 year old son suffer from cancer like I had a friend go through. Now that is the real game because it is life and the life of a young one, your child. It isn't a disease of any kind and fighting like heck to maintain your health. INo, don't invest your emotional and mental health into something that should be fun!

I'm on to March Madness.

For me, yes we lost our last 3 but I also saw when we went 5/5. So that's not bad at all.

We are 1 super bowl away from being tied with the most with Pitt and Patriots.

So I'm a happy camper 😊

Meh not interested in watching cars go in circles. MotoGP on the other hand is about to start

That looks like fun, though I'm not very familiar with them.

TBH, NASCAR is not my first love. World of Outlaws/High Limit sprint cars are my thing apart from football. Spent a few season crewing for some good wheel men back in the day. Those things go round in circles but are far from boring.

Having a second passion allows me to enjoy being a football fan/spectator.

NASCAR live sounds like tons of fun, watching it on TV, meh lol. Would be pretty cool to be in the stands though. I would like to check it out. I wish I liked more sports but it is just football and hockey for me. Vegas won the Cup recently, so, I am good on that lol just want an SB win.

I'll never quit, but the Karma gods and Football gods definitely not giving me much reasoning to why I keep supporting this team.
