Well, I only work 37.5 hours a week now, but I also do not get overconsumed with how the team is doing. I watch the games on Sunday, read the message boards when I'm bored. I'm happy when they win and mad when they lose, then I don't really think about it until the next game. I've been a fan of this team since it's inception and rarely miss a game, but it's professional sports, whether it's Burrow or Mahomes or whoever hoisting the Lombardi, in the end it has no bearing on my personal life. Will it give me a moment of joy, sure. That's about it. It's not going to pay my bills or determine my self-worth.
