What sports do you (have you) follow(ed)?
For me, I don't think I'll be able to appreciate baseball until I'm in my 60s. I like to live fast, and that's not a very engaging sport to me.
Since 2001-02, I've been following, just as you have, the NFL, very casually. Up until 2-3 years ago, I only tuned in to watch the Super Bowls. Yet, still, I missed quite a few of them (Bears v. Colts , Giants v. Patriots ... remember, that was the time I went missing all those months?)
I actually slept through most of the game, and when I awoke, it looked to have been in progress already for 3 hours (maybe only 8 min. left in the game). I decided what a waste, and not to watch any of it. (my TV was not turned on.) What a mistake. if anything, the only watchable portion of that game was the final 8 minutes. Out of the loop I am.
I also sparingly watch F1, the American Le Mans series, trying to get into hockey more (but with no TV, no dice).
Tennis is perhaps the only other sport in which I am truly engaged and at one with... it is kind of shocking that nobody here is talking about the Andre Agassi "drug addiction" story. I posted it only a day after it broke.
