A Life or Death Decision

  


The NFL playoffs are upon us. 32 teams have been whittled down to 12, and for four more glorious weeks we will be able to enjoy the pinnacle of America’s national pastime. I, like many of you, do not have a horse in the playoff race. Despite this, those of us who have followed our teams throughout the season will still be watching in spite of their absence. Why is this? What is it about football that captivates us to the point that we create a rooting interest where none previously existed? The answer is clearly not tradition; the Super Bowl may be a national holiday, but so was the World Series once upon a time.
