Important pro football games I'll watch with one or two friends who are actually watching the game. Hockey I want to watch alone. Baseball, most importantly, I will watch in any condition, but under no circumstances will I listen to it on the radio.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06685399803801402331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679634.post-41841862354682525922009-05-12T12:10:00.000-07:002009-05-12T12:10:00.000-07:00Wow, I might send this out as a memo to all my fri...Wow, I might send this out as a memo to all my friends. <br /><br />I watched the Eagles/Vikings playoff game this year with a friend who was neutral, I am an Eagles fan. It was okay, but only because I knew we would beat the Vikings. The next week we had the Giants and he text me and said he was on his way over. I called him and told him to turn around because I'm not letting his ass in the door. Watching important games alone is the only way to go. I hate other people being there, and I can't imagine anybody can really enjoy watching a game with me that I care about. I curse every other word. Break and repair my remote 5 times throughout the game. And am usually a bad break away from a breakdown...see NFC Championship game.<br /><br />There's nothing wrong with a couple beers. But I'm just talking about a couple, not 12 before the half.Mr. Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192871032616099639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679634.post-30066360877217129222009-05-12T12:05:00.000-07:002009-05-12T12:05:00.000-07:00It depends on the degree of importance.

I have a select pool of people with whom I'd watch a very important game.<br /><br />But, for the biggest of games, I have to watch alone. Two reasons: I'm hyper-analytical and it's a vicarious thrill for me. I live in the game, figuring what I'd do in that situation. I'm sure many do the same, though maybe not to my self-absorbed degree.<br /><br />That said, I don't see how anyone gets to watch the Super Bowl alone.Bokolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597135316320749668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679634.post-52402027819884391392009-05-12T11:25:00.000-07:002009-05-12T11:25:00.000-07:00i like watching big games with my firends, as long...i like watching big games with my firends, as long as we're all rooting for the same team and no one there is that guy that doesnt know anything bout sports and asks stupid questions the whole time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679634.post-27523958005117036462009-05-12T08:58:00.000-07:002009-05-12T08:58:00.000-07:00I have to disagree.
