Anyone else burnt out on football? (1 Viewer)

Extremely pumped for tonight's game. The Monday and Thursday night games have been total ####fests, so you've got to appreciate a matchup like this. Too bad the Falcons collapsed this season because Thursday could've been epic as well.

I totally get the knocks on the modern game, but I still love it. Bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work or whatever.

 
I work Sundays 12 - 830. :/ So I literally miss all the games.

Of my 4 cash leagues, 3 are playoff bound. I just am kinda tuned out and want to dance with the girl who got me this far (hopefully she wins me some moolah).

Everything else til' then feels like a formality.

How can you be burnt out in football when you don't even watch the majority of the games?

Because I've had to manage these bull#### teams all season, to the point I have no tangible attachment to this season at all.

I didn't get to enjoy the season, my Fantasy Playoff fate is pretty much determined.

I just want to watch playoffs and prepare for next year.

I kinda see what you're saying. But I think you have it backwards.

Seems like you're the opposite of burnt out---you're unattached to your fantasy teams this season because even though they're winning, you haven't seen much of the actual football that's being played and giving you those points. Am I right, here? Seems like you want to get on with it and get to next year so you can have a chance to actually be attached to the teams you draft next.

 
Not totally but I've started peeling myself away from the TV on Sundays. The outcome of the game ain't going to change simply because I went to grab lunch with someone.

Kinda, sorta, yeah. Especially now that winning in Fantasy doesn't matter anymore AND I don't get to watch the games, it's like, "eh".

Why doesn't winning in fantasy "matter anymore"? Maybe you're just outgrowing your favorite hobby. It happens.

 
Burnt out on "Is This Collusion?" threads, but football itself? No. And it's all because of fantasy football.

I don't watch college games and fantasy football makes the NFL entirely watchable. I don't know how others can stomach it though honestly.

 
Burnt out on real football, no.

Burnt out on fantasy football...absolutely.

This year has just been dumb. The inconsistancy week to week and random breakouts have been crazy. The amount of players that have had 3TD games is just stupid...Roy Helu....Jerico Cotchery...Marvin Jones. I have the highest scoring team in my redraft league by a pretty good chunk. I only have a 6-5 record and will be biting the bullet hoping to make the playoffs at this point due to hitting the buzzsaw 5/6 weeks in a row now. My keeper team has been a nightmare as I seem to ALWAYS play the perfect lineup for the lowest amount of points, meawhile 2 players on my bench outscore all my starters combined.

I've been playing FF for a long ### time and expect some of this stuff but this year has been out of control wacky.

 
God, I remember the days where I could root for my home team and enjoy watching football. Now, I spend Sundays miserable looking at my live scoring update and flipping channels. I find myself more and more questioning how I spend my Sundays

 
I'm at a point where I just watch the Red Zone channel every Sunday. Regular NFL games (and college, for that matter) have way too many commercials, reviews, and penalties these days, but the pure nonstop football porn that is the Red Zone is a fantasy land that ignores these sad realities. Plus, Red Zone commentator Andrew Siciliano is so darned entertaining. That guy says some pretty amusing things during every broadcast.
While I agree with everything you say about Red Zone, I much, much prefer Scott Hanson over that other joke.

 
For those burnt out, you may want to try these activities-

Arts and crafts

Apple picking

Tiddlywinks

Marbles

G.I. Joe action figure restoration

Birdhouse building

Running around in the woods naked

Playing with cats

Baking pies

From Gregg Easterbrook today:

Just as the first quarter was ending at Tennessee, officials missed a 12-men-on-the-field violation by the Flaming Thumbtacks. During the long commercial break, they failed to correct the problem. Just as the game should have resumed, Chuck Pagano threw the challenge flag. NFL Network then went back into commercial. When it returned -- after festive mid-November ads for Christmas shopping -- officials upheld the challenge, then realized they'd forgotten to switch end zones for the second quarter. A total of nine minutes ticked by before play resumed, just to fix a minor violation that changed a second-and-7 into a first-and-5.
 
Not burnt out, but would like to sleep in on Sunday mornings every now and again. Sometimes I can't believe I wake up "early" to watch pre-game shows.
