As if watching the game wasn't stressful enough...

Watching the your favorite team play on Sunday has come a long way from beers and finger food. These days, Sunday looks more like a study hall with men, and women, on their computers checking their stats, switching players on/off the bench, and a bit of trash talking all around. The focus is no longer on your favorite team, it's on the individual players you've drafted. In a way these leagues force viewers to not only watch their team but every other team as well, opening viewers' eyes to the talent of other teams/players.
However, has the football spirit been broken? True football lovers stick to their team and their favorite players like glue. The problem comes when fans are cheering for both teams and even worse, certain players. For those of you yelling for Farve to throw the ball to Moss, then getting angry when someone else gets the catch, have you lost all faith in the TEAM? This is the problem with the fantasy world. The focus is on who's receiving, how many yards passed, and who scores the touchdown, not the fact that your team is getting points and winning the game.
Bring back the days when football revolved around the team, and their die-hard fans!
