Not very often, lucky. Watching sports rarely appeals to me. Playing does. I'm not trying to shit on your thread but I really do think we'd be better served, physically and emotionally, by less watching and more participation.
Just my opinion. :smile:
But wouldn't that be operating under the pretense that all people who watch sports are couch potatoes. I watch sports religiously and have attended the church of Sunday Night Football since the days that my father walked the Earth (aka a really really long time ago). But I played baseball , football, and basketball in high school. Besides , most sporting events happen at night anyway. When people are at home relaxing. Except for sunday and the saturday games of the college sports season and a few months of saturday afternoon baseball.
Anyway , yea I saw the Superbowl (of course). That 3&5 play by Eli Manning and David Tyree was spectacular to say the least. I thought all hope was lost until he broke that sack. I am more of a fan of his big brother Peyton , but he's obviously good too. That's the first time that 2 brothers have won the superbowl back to back and received Superbowl MVP. Plus I liked watching Tom Brady get a defensive line rammed up his ass on every other snap. A monumental choke. He could have cemented himself as the second coming of *bows on one knee and removes hat* Joe Montana.
I just started watching hockey this year too. But I was going for the Penguins in teh finals. Was still exciting though , since I'm not as emotionally involved in it as I am with football.
Brett Farve was actually good throughout teh playoffs , until that last snap of the NFC title game (interception as we all know). But I woudn't mind seeing him coming back.
My Cubs look like they might at least make it to the NLCS this year. Unlike last year where they had loaded bases throughout teh entire first round series , only to score virtually no runs. I'm not to worried about the Brewers getting Sabathia though , even though he's in my teams division now. But Boston definately has a chance to repeat , even without Schilling.
And hopefully my Bulls will be back this year. The East (ern conference) isn't that tough so they should have a relatively easy road there.
