You're right ....I'm making excuses.
I think fantasy football is gay. I can't stand how much programming is devoted to it and got sick of playing it, so quit. The other stuff isn't really a reason, just coincidental to the facts.
I'm not an "NFL fan" I'm a Broncos fan and follow some of the other teams. NFL Redzone is the best thing ever invented so you don't get stuck watching some shitty NFC game that is on Fox and can watch NFL RZ instead, "flipping around" to all the games and at times you might want to watch.
It's also harder to sit and watch football with a little guy who wants you to go outside and play football with him ...(unless the Broncos are on, of course!)
