Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

[Aurora]

I figure if I drive anywhere, it'll be over to my parents and just watch it while they sleep.

See, you do have someplace to watch it

I don't know people that watch the games. And I have zero interest in sports bars.

Nothing better than sports bars! Except, of course, being at the game. It's a much better experience, IMO, to be surrounded by like-minded people when watching the best game ever. It's even better when you're out-of-state and find a bar full of people who are fans of your team . . . The only bad thing about bars, that I can see, is the smoking. But, here in the balmy state of Connecticut, they've banned that.

Eh, I don't get it. I'd much rather watch the game with other people than by myself . . .

Well, I can't be around smoke. But usually when I'm watching a game I'm also reading or writing. I rarely just sit down and watch games.

I find that the third quarter usually bores me to tears, even when the Eagles are playing. However, if I'm at the game or at a bar, I'm not bored at all.

I understand about the smoke though. I don't have to avoid it, but if I don't, it makes me fairly sick.

Since we are talking about football, does anyone else 'round here get the Sunday Ticket from DirecTV? I just picked it up recently and am loving it. It's great for popping around the league and checking out fantasy players or just non-regional stuff.

It also helps that most of the games are in HD, which is just unbelievably good looking. Football is perfect for HD. The price seemed really high (about $250 for the full season) until I realized that I'd spend at least that much if not more going to a bar every week to see all the games I wanted to see. Oh yeah, and don't forget the HD.

Indeed. I'd love to get DirecTV for that very reason, but my wife refuses to have a dish on the roof. Being stuck here in Chicago, I'm lucky if I get to see 5 or 6 Packer games a year (especially now that the Pack isn't very good, and doesn't get the national games as often).

 

[Crothian]

I don't have an HD TV so it really doesn't seem worth it to spend that money. Now, if only a friend would get it....

 

[Crothian]

That was a fun game to watch!! Cowboys bounce back nicely.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I had to miss that game- my entire family's Christmas shopping is now complete with the exception of doing some shopping for a friend who just had back surgery...we'll cover that on Monday.

The good news for me about the 'Boys win- The Saints will clinch their division with either a victory or a Carolina loss.

Geaux Saints!
