I keep track, but rarely watch the games, at least when it comes to NFL. Gotta keep that fantasy football going!

It sounds to me, though, that you were a lot more hardcore than I've been over the years. My peak years watching were when I was a teenager.

I understand being a bit disillusioned about some aspects of the sport, but at the same time, I feel there are a lot of positive aspects and good guys in the NFL as well. Those are the guys I root for.

I'm more of an NBA guy, though. My favorite team is the Spurs, and I became a fan because of the character (and awesomeness) of David Robinson. Tim Duncan being a great guy made it easy to keep rooting for them. But even then, I don't own a lot of memorabilia, but I admit to that 2013 Finals defeat absolutely crushing me like no other loss has, but that also helped me gain a bit of perspective as well. It's just a sport, entertainment. (Still, 2014 was the sweetest comeback ever. If they never win a title again, I'll always have that year.)

I think I'm done watching the super bowl. Just straight up felt like some weird propaganda last year.

Yup. That halftime show was... hmm.

Is it better to run the AC "On" during times of lots of rain, humidity, and temp changes, instead of having it on "Auto"? The temp gauge and air in the place always seems completely out of wack when it rains a lot. It just now occurred to me to try setting it to On and see how that goes.

Damn muggy Kansas.

You need to experience Mississippi for "muggy".

Mississippi's got nothing on New Orleans in August.

Depends on where you're at in Mississippi.

Parts of Florida come very close, but New Orleans is on a different level of humidity. It's like taking a hot mouthful of river mud every time you inhale some days. The cumulative stink of peoples sweat that is incapable of evaporating in such an environment really builds up too. I love New Orleans, but this is all very true.

My mom described it as taking a deep breath when you step off the airplane and immediately drowning.

I have been legitimately wondering what some of the best states to live in are for asthmatics. I guess it's ironic I don't have many problems with outdoor exposures, but it's the humidity and fluctuating weather that jacks up the indoors and makes everything crazy.

I don't have asthma, so I'm by no means an expert in what aggravates or alleviates its symptoms, but I would imagine that somewhere in the southwest would be ideal given the dry air.

Seattle area doesn't really have humidity, and the weather tends to be mild.
