bp,

Rob went to Footballaholics Anonymous. He recognized his addiction and the affect it was having on his life and now he just takes one day at a time. Seriously, this is obsessive, compulsive behavior and I admit it. I keep saying I can quit at any time but there's always just one more game.

I do believe that part of it is this Roman Spectacle idea that the Roman Emperors figured they could be the Tyrants they were if they just kept the Mob distracted and gave them free bread. Its the same thing they do today!
