This isn’t a hobby for me bro.
I do this for a living. Not on the big stage but nonetheless.
My life is great and I’m far more blessed than I deserve and my life won’t change whether we never win another game or never lose another game.
I don’t live and die vicariously through my football team but I hate the “it’s just a game” type comments. That’s fine if that’s how anyone feels but that’s not how everyone feels. It wouldn’t mean so much to me and others if it was “just a game” but to see it year after year after year while watching almost everyone else at some point get over the hump or at the very least get closer than we have in my lifetime is just deflating.
I just watched the Detroit Lions make an NFC championship game. Now we made it in 1993 but I was just a kid and too young to pay any attention but you get my point.
It just gets old bro and that’s what fans forums are for… to vent or celebrate or debate or whatever the case may be.
