So this has been a strange couple of weeks. Normally at work I inundate myself with sports all day, gorging upon all that ESPN.com has to offer as well as CNNSI. But the past week and a half I have been somewhat cut off. Which has been good and bad. But it probably helps when the following things have happened: The Rockies got swept, the Rams continued their 0 fer 2007 campaign, the Broncos first choked away 1 game followed by a brutal loss. And my Buffaloes were embarrassed at home. About the only positive has been the performance of my fantasy football team which has been dominant.
But having all this happen at a time when I was at home, watching kids, taking care of house work etc. has eased the pain. On Sunday when the Broncos fell apart I just turned the game off and turned to Kim and stated that it was only football. I won't pretend that I have staved off my addiction to sports news, but my perspective and distance have improved considerably. It's a lot easier to stomach these losses when there is so much else going on.
