after the Cheatriots won 5, especially after last year's bullshit in the SB I was pretty much convinced, ahead of any real "boycott" that I wasn't going to get invested this year.
then the Eagles had to fuck around and be good, so I could not escape at least talking about it, since everyone around me knows that I'm an Eagle fan.
Still, I spent the entire NFL season doing everything and anything else during the time the games are on TV. at best, checking scores on Google.
also, Cleveland (where I live) went 0-16 so there's something else I couldn't escape.
NFL's YouTube channel is actually very good. Full archival games, highlights tailored to your team.
the Eagles are in the Super Bowl for the first time in 13 years. they're playing my most hated team. someone else I dislike almost as much as said team's QB/Coach is doing the halftime show.
Eagles win, I'm partying. But I'll probably go back to my "minimal contact" level next year.
I used to chase illegal streams just to see the Eagles
I'm not dealing with all of that to see the Cheatriots in the SB year after year.
