Yes. I've been a computer and stats/data guy since I was a kid. I used to chart everything for my baseball team, and compile it on old-time Apple computers like the IIe. I didn't get into it as a career, so I'm able to enjoy it as entertainment.
And if the NFL ever takes away the Super Bowl after playing the full season, I'll stop watching it just as I stopped watching MLB after they took away the World Series.
As for the posts, I'm stuck in front of the computer(s) for hours on end, I'm a very fast reader and fairly fast typist, and I'm not the type who can only focus on one thing at a time, so posting doesn't really take much time.
Oh, Deus of the 26,000 posts...
Look us all in the eye and tell us that, if the investment we each have in the Patriots falls somewhere along the Spectrum from "Pure Identity" to "Pure Entertainment," that your investment in the Patriots is purely a function of the "Entertainment" they provide you and that you could care less if the team wins or loses as long as the game is entertaining to watch.
I'm not saying you have to be a "fan"atic who can't sleep after a loss, but tell us that it's purely a matter of Entertainment and the outcome of the game doesn't matter at all to you.
