I don’t want to know but what gives me anxiety is trying to avoid seeing/hearing

I do that mostly when the season isn't going well (eg. 2017, 2023) and then if the game isn't going well

I like to start an hour or so late and catch up in the 4th quarter.

Then you lose out on seeing all the fire A-Rod posts in the first quarter.

A side benefit of the time savings is I avoid the overreactions on CB.
