“How was your weekend?”
“I’m watching the end of a tense football game and trying not to have a heart attack.”
“Then why watch?”
That is a snippet from a text conversation I had with a friend as I watched the final minutes of the AFC Divisional Playoff game Sunday night. I don’t remember at what point during the wild final two minutes the conversation occurred and it honestly doesn’t even matter. Every football fan who watched that game, especially those with a rooting interest, knows that we all had that feeling from shortly before the two-minute warning until the end of the overtime period.
