NFC vs AFC vs Why do people care about this

I am so tired of football.

football

I honestly do not understand how it can still hold people's attention at this point.
"It's the playoffs! It's exciting!"
nooooooooooooooooooooo it's notttttttttttt
In fact, it's even worse because it's January, and it's cold, and so at the end of the first half, the score is like 0-3.

wow.
much excitement.
very football.
such punt.
wow.

And people are all like, "I can't believe this season's almost over. It feels like it just started."
And that's the part where my jaw hurts from dropping on the floor so much.

I feel like there is TOO MUCH football after a certain point.
Like, August through November, it's tolerable.
Then in December, it's like, ok, we should really be wrapping this up.
Then in January it's like, hold me down and kill me slowly with a spork.
And then the superbowl is like, a lame party.

I am surrounded by football.
I feel like everywhere I go, there is football.
Restaurants, dive bars, rodeos, the fabric store...
(ok, I don't really go to dive bars. Or rodeos.)

But football is everywhere, invading the privacy and comfort of my life.
Oh, look! A perfectly nice weekend! Let's ruin it with football!
Hey, what do you want to do for dinner? We have to figure it out soon because football is going to be on later.
Throwing a football outside is fun, but watching other people throw a football is even more fun.

Large, enormous sigh.

They should do a show about me on NFL Network.

Because this is what I have to live with.

Then there's college football. And watching college football is like diet coke. It's terrible, but people really like it for some reason.
Like- there are  kickers that cannot make 30 yard field goals.
It's like the players don't even have legs.

And I hate how the games start at 8:30 on some weeknight and people stay up past midnight watching amateur hour, and then text their friends that have to go to work in the morning about the "epic" game and how "epic" and "legit" everything was.

I think it is astounding that the word "epic" is actually used to describe a game of college football.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-Inigo Montoya; The Princess Bride

And then there is all the sports commentary which is where people somehow find a way to take a boring subject and make it even more so.
We just watched a three-hour game. Let's spend the next 18 hours analyzing it!

See, football starts off sort of exciting, but then it gets belabored and ruined by people never shutting the heck up about it.

Baseball, on the other hand, is never exciting no matter how much you do or do not talk about it.

And I'm done.
