I used to have the attitude he mentioned, and when my eyes opened, I rejected it. Then I forced myself to watch American Football for a season. I actually had a good time. But I just couldn't really get into it. Problem is that when I have free time, I typically prefer to spend it doing other things. Not having cable doesn't help matters either.

Maybe I'll give it another shot. It seems worth it to be able to connect to more people.

Maybe try joining a Fantasy Football league with some of your friends? Doing this will greatly improve your enjoyment because you will be invested in the performance of the players / teams on your fantasy team.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did, with coworkers. Sorry I didn't mention it. Nobody does them at the new job, I think it might be banned :(
