Re: Off Topic 2013

At Horseshoe Cleveland about to play in a $200 NL Holdem tournament. There are 64 entrants right now and more in line. Hope we get to over 100 today.

Re: Off Topic 2013

So with only 8 games left (7 NFL, 1 College) I'm going to finish with 365 football games on the 2012-2013 year. So I have literally watched a year's worth of football.

List, for those that care. If anybody sees an issue (cough cough burghfan cough) feel free to point it out.

Re: Off Topic 2013

So with only 8 games left (7 NFL, 1 College) I'm going to finish with 365 football games on the 2012-2013 year. So I have literally watched a year's worth of football.

List, for those that care. If anybody sees an issue (cough cough burghfan cough) feel free to point it out.

Hmph. Nice list. One question though. How do you define a game as being "watched"? Do you have to watch every play or just a certain amount of each game.

[jeremym480]

Re: Off Topic 2013

I only watched around 15-20 full games (NFL and college) throughout the entire year. I find that the older I get, the less and less I care about watching sports. I still enjoy keeping up with them and tuning in to close games that are in the fourth quarter, but I'd rather do other things with my free time.

On that note, rather than going to pick up Season 5 of Mad Men, I started Homeland this weekend. I've watched the first six episodes so far and it's been pretty good. Especially, the 6th one. Even my wife, who wasn't at all interested in watching it at first, likes it so far. After we finished the last episode last night she said "one more" and I said "ummm, it's almost 1 am". That's how addicting it is. Plus, it perfect to watch in January because it's fulfilling my 24 fix that I've missed the last few years.

Yeah, I'm kinda the same way. I'll watch the Steelers and Pitt football, but usually just follow the Pirates, Penguins, and Pitt basketball on espn game tracker. As for college football, I generally watch parts of every game that I get on my TV. I'll watch one game until it goes to commercial then switch to the next game and just keep cycling through.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Ah, it's nice to finally sleep in my own bed!

Regarding the watching football all year deal...I think i've watched quite a bit but not as much as Watson in 2012 what with live NFL, NCAA, CFL and heck, even a Canadian college game (the Vanier Cup) plus my old broadcasts so there's never a shortage of stuff to watch through the year.

I think i'll make this a project of mine for 2013 and see how many games i've watched. Thanks Watson for the inspiration.

[justblaze09]

Re: Off Topic 2013

Seeing that a Cookman game is on there, I'm pretty sure he didn't watch more than a quarter of a lot of those games.

[Gotmadskillzson]

Re: Off Topic 2013

Far as sports......

I watch games here and there. More college then NFL. Haven't been into NBA since Jordan retired with the Bulls, but I might watch a game here and there depending who is playing. College basketball I watch during March Madness. Soccer games, here and there, Euro league teams only though, can't stand MLS.

Not into hockey.....
Not into baseball.....
Not into Nascar.......wife's bloodline love the hell out of Nascar and that is all they watch other then baseball.

We settled this on EDSBS a while ago. Because obviously I turned off some games when they became blowouts, we called it 2 1/2 quarters as the minimum or when the game becomes a 21 point lead after that 2 1/2 quarter mark.

I think i'll use that as the basis for my listing this year

Re: Off Topic 2013

At Horseshoe Cleveland about to play in a $200 NL Holdem tournament. There are 64 entrants right now and more in line. Hope we get to over 100 today.

We ended up with exactly 101 players, haha.

Everyone started with 6k in chips and at the first break I have just over 13k in my stack and I'm at a pretty weak table. First place is a little over $5600 today and I have a good feeling.

Good luck to you sir.

Just played in a poker tourney couple weeks ago and won 400 bucks.

IIRC that was a noon kickoff and I watched it until I left for the LO game which was at 1:30. So an an hour and a half, would you not count that?

If I was trying to spam it, I would have included the all american games/senior bowl/pro bowl

Re: Off Topic 2013

I'm going to the gym after work. I LOATHE going to the gym after work. I really wish I'd a got up at 4 this morning and knocked it out then. Ugh.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I was at my parents for Sunday dinner and we had the Colts/Ravens game on. During halftime I'm surfing the channel guide and stumbled across something called Amish Mafia on the Discovery Channel.

I remember with TLC and Discovery Channel actually aired useful programming.

I'm going to the gym after work. I LOATHE going to the gym after work. I really wish I'd a got up at 4 this morning and knocked it out then. Ugh.

That's how I start my day. A good workout and my iced coffee and I'm ready to go. I don't have nearly the same amount of energy for the day without an early gym session.
