While my football fandom has waned, there was a time (roughly 2010-2018) wherein I carved out at least 3-4 hours a week for the Seattle Seahawks. Oftentimes, my entire Sunday would be dedicated to the sport, by the blessings of RedZone, and the ritual was rewarded and invigorated by the excellence and intrigue of the team. Though my own football career concluded following my freshman year of college, the sport remains generally compelling, albeit less consuming, and yet this is the first year in which the Seahawks could genuinely be considered bad. People are, understandably, displeased (see our sister site Field Gulls for more).
