Don't know what's happening to me

Not too long ago, I found out what a blitz was. And what covering the spread means. These are football-related terms. Football is a game, played mainly by American men, lasting approximately 67 hours per session and involving large amounts of violence. I do not care about football. Or, I thought I didn't. I used to find it useful for helping me get to sleep on the couch. I'm scared now, because it feels like I'm getting sucked into caring, a bit, about the sport of football. I know a few players' names and I've actually gone so far as to click on a football-related Internet story. I felt a pang of -- something -- when a team I have a slight connection to lost a big game this weekend. I thought, "they need to beef up that excuse for a running game." Please, help me. I need an intervention before I start scheduling viewings.
