#1 The numbers were bad because my Broncos lost.

Shaddup! It is my fantasy, I'll make it as big as I want!

#2 I watched it. It was a great game, back and forth and hard hitting. I mean, Kapernick wasn't there so why not?

#3 No, blabberneck was busy embarrassing castro to death, but one of the KC D is in suit.

We all ended up turning the sound off and BSn. So, the game was on, but nobody was watching really.

Same with the Thanksgiving game. On, nobody watching.

That's the deal. Nobody knows if it is a good game if nobody turns it on. At one point I looked at the screen and went, "Hey, it's overtime. OK." then back to BSn.

So I guess that habit is kicked. I love the sport of football, but I can find it elsewhere, or even actually learn the rules of rugby to better appreciate the gameplay.

#4 @#3: You reminded me of what we used to do. Watch the ball game on the monochrome but with the sound turned off. Would pick up the color by tuning the radio to the game. Good times....good times.......

#5 Absolutely.
Tried doing just that during the 2015 MLB playoffs. By the time the World Series came around I was so very tired of the Fox Sports broadcasting teams, and the team they had was so rooting for the Metros it was a slobber fest.

I couldn't get radio, so I would turn the sound off when New York was batting, then turn it back on when KC was batting and harvested their little tears from the corner of my TV. Not as tasty as Vintage 2016, but still a fine sip.
