my coworkers keep trying to start convos with me about sports & im sick of being the weird guy at work.

i know how to play football but know pretty much nothing else about it besides that, idk how people follow it because there are so many players & games going on and shit.

how do you guys follow it, i need to fake it so people think i am a valid man

Just endlessly repeat "defense wins championships" and you'll know as much about football as the average officegoer

I used to be a hardcore sports fan. You are actually better off the way you are now. You aren't weird. Trust me. I actually enjoy all the free time I have now that I'm not spending 10-16 hours watching football on the weekends.

Don't. If they won't accept you for who you are, they're not the kind of people you want to be around anyway. Find people who will love you for who you are.

like learning all the players and shit?

one of my issues is following scores, players, being able to reference the "history" of football etc. there is pretty much no leisure activity that im able to follow as closely as ppl follow football

i want to be able to casually discuss football with coworkers and new ppl i meet, my lack of knowledge of the sport atm is extremely embarrassing. i probably cant name a single player besides odell beckham jr & tom brady

Follow one team and then slowly branch out.

Pick a team and tie your entire self-worth into their performance. If they do well, it means you are amazing. If they do bad, it means you suck.

Honestly

Fantasy football

I know it's a little late for this year, but I've learned a shitload more football solely as a result of researching for fantasy purposes

If you go with either of those teams prepare for an argument from whoever you choose against lol the fan bases are super passionate. Id just bandwagon the eagles though if you want to choose between the two.

Just buy Madden 19 and play it.

Within a week or two you'll know most of the good players by heart.

Knowing the players names is all you really need. If people see that you know the names of players, then it's obvious you know what you're talking about.
