Tom Landry was quality too, benson.
You can still find a good hustler in the Times Square/8th Ave area. Trust me on this one.
I’ll watch football with friends or family and even enjoy it, but never by myself.
“So overwrought”
That statement applies to much that is presented on TV these days, sports and reality TV, in particular.
When I look at the Jets’ fat pig of a coach and his behavior, my mind always goes back to the title of the Vince Lombardi biography: “When Pride Still Mattered”. Where are the Vince Lombardi’s of today?
One reason we lag in technology is that we’re early adopters. Electricity – ac vs. dc. Television – PAL vs. Secam. Even subways & cell phones are just another iteration of the same phenomenon in which US has primitive infrastructure while late-comers could build more state-of-the-art.
And I agree w/ Denton about Times Sq. – romance is gone from it even though it was really, really seedy. But if you want stores based on catalogues go to the ‘burbs.
I hear you slopefarm, but even when I’m watching with friends who care every time I cheer I hear a little voice yelling FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!! YOU FAKING FAKER!!!! YOU DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHO WINS AND YOU KNOW IT!!!! It can be very distracting.
“hockey is a sport that’s way better to watch in person. football is better to watch on TV unless you got kickass 50 yard line seats”
yeah – i agree. hockey is great in person. football in person is all about the tailgating.
