Well...as I said on numerous occasions, I don't watch the games or know any of the player's, persay. If a name is continually repeated I'll get to know it...but as to matching it up to a team, that's debatable as to if I can do it. I am of the science that if I hear talk of a player missing for an injury (for example)...I'll investigate his value to the team then, and usually only then.
I know people who spend football season living vicariously through certain players...usually only the cream of the crop. Much like reincarnation and "coming back" as a well known past figure, these people never choose to "sit on the bench". Instead, they take on the role of...say...the quarterback, and their emotions and moods swing on how well "they" did in any particular game.
I just can't get into the games this much or I'd be an emotional wreck! So...I choose not to keep names and stats in my head all season. I'm emotional enough for other reasons...I don't need to add fuel to my fire! 
So...enlighten me scotz baby!
