What are we going to do?

It's getting close to the most dreaded time of the year for me, the end of football season. I dread it every year. As far as sports go, football is my favorite and I struggle to watch anything else. I know we still have the playoffs and Super Bowl to go, and a few college games, but the end is near. For those of you who are like me, what will you watch to get your sports fix during the offseason?

    I can watch college basketball if it's March Madness, but I just find the regular season to be boring. I can't watch St. John's play Marquette on Saturdays, it just doesn't interest me!

    And Premier League soccer, Chelsea vs West Ham. No thanks!

    About 10 minutes after the Super Bowl I start research on top draft choices. I make a list who I believe will be a sleeper and invest a few dollars on rookie autos. Keeps my mind off of no NFL until September. Now if the Bills win it all I’ll have an entire summer to replay the season and Super Bowl. 😉

    I watch the Lakers. It's better than football because they play 3 times a week.

    Their biggest faux pas was letting Dwight Howard walk. Doc Rivers was right when he said Lakers wouldn't win the championship without Dwight. Joker was unguardable and eliminated the Clippers. When he went up against Dwight it was all over. Joker is still pulling leather out of his teeth.

    I was thinking about spending the money on Hulu to get Fox Sports so I could watch the Minnesota Wild this year.

    I think they will be MUCH improved.

    Unfortunately Fox Sports North is no longer going to be offered. FSN has a history of problems with their broadcast partners and I am thinking they $uck.

    I am not going to sign up for any more subscription television packages. I have Netflix and Hulu (basic) and pay way to much for internet. Enough is enough.

    Focusing on finishing a remodeling job on my wife's farmhouse and when that's done, going to pick up the guitar and see if I can learn a few songs.

    Sports and all the BS that comes with it now just isn't worth the aggravation.

    I don’t watch any sports other than NFL. I will tinker with a few bets on other sports with small money to give me some sports related fun but other than that it will be a steady diet of TV/Movies when I’m not watching NFL

    I can watch golf! I was actually watching some of Tiger Woods and his son play the other day. His son is just like his dad. He did the club twirl and he tips his cap!

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 22,516 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If I absolutely have to, I can watch an NBA game if there's a guy like James Harden playing. He usually puts on a good show. The last time I watched him play he had over forty points. His beard put up 30!

    Ah heck, who am I kidding, I'll never make it through the offseason. I'll just hibernate. There's a nice wooded area behind us. My wife can check on me every month, maybe bring me some coffee.

    today I can't watch any football because for some insane reason the games are not on tv .

    The first game I could watch at some fool friend's house who maintains a $300 cable package and gets the NFL network. The second isn't even on a channel! The third game I no longer care enough to see what its on.

    This is brilliant marketing NFL , take a game that isn't opposite any other game and remove it from 80% of the TV households

    As soon as I get my covid vaccination I'm off to the casino to lose money playing Texas hold em.
    Of course I think I'm like number 8,673,054,722 to receive a vaccination.

    Yes, I don't trust any type of wild life. There is a raccoon that lives in the forest behind us and he looks cute and I'd like to pet him, but I've heard stories about wild raccoons. They're mean bastards!

    Hockey and champions league soccer is going to be my sports entertainment. Been a Bayern Munich fan since 1977, so ESPNt will get my $5 a month for a while.

    Hockey and Gonzaga basketball will keep me entertained.

    I'll spend the excess time watching funny cat videos on Youtube.

    Semi serious response?

    Providence College Friars basketball. Ed Cooley is so likable, they get better each game and they actually play defense. You watch 12 guys get better at basketball - it’s joyful.

    Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

    I thought I was the only Bayern fan here, glad I clicked this thread. Mia San Mia buddy!!

    It's already starting. No football on today, only 3 games left in the season. Help!

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 22,516 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm sitting here about to watch Houston vs Temple, a college basketball game that I care nothing about. This is what it's come to? This is pathetic.

    I just finished watching “Night Stalker” on Netflix and it was very good, it was about Richard Ramirez the serial
    Killer, easy 4 episode and I highly recommend it 👍

    I actually read a book about him and I've seen a few documentaries about him also. He was a vicious killer, and my favorite part of that story was the way they finally caught him, he was trying to make an escape and the public recognized him and gave him a beatdown! 😂😂
