Live on TV, alone in my basement so my cursing, ranting, muttering and occasional outbursts of glee don't embarrass my family and sometimes the neighbors.
I usually make one or two games a year and sell my season tickets for all the rest of the games as I live in Los Angeles. As great as it is to watch from home on a great TV, the Meadowlands (poor food, restroom facilities and drunken idiots aside) is a great place to watch a game because of the great sightlines and tailgating. I wish I could make it more often.
If I sign up for the PSLs, all you guys who don't have tickets can buy a seat in the stadium from me for $1,432 per game. Won't that be wonderful?
sweet sweet Sunday Ticket. Someday, i'd like to trek halfway across the country and go see one home game...just once.
Sports Bar every Sunday with my old man....... The $250 for the Ticket to see the 10-12 games that wouldn't be on TV, sure buys alot of draft beer. Besides, it's more fun
I've had season tickets for 28 years and I disagree completely with your statement about the view on TV being better than at the game. I find the view at the game to be far superior to the view on TV. First, you can watch what you want to watch at the game. The TV view only shows you the ball. Second, you see the entire field. The view on TV only shows you the ball and the camera angle is too close. At the game you can see the play develop. You can see the pass patterns and who is open and who is not. You can see the why the QB was sacked. You can see all the wideouts and which DB is covering which WR. You can tell who is in the game and who isn't without relying on some dumb announcer. You can see the flight of each pass. You can see the blocking ahead of a play and can tell, without the announcer, whether a play is wide open before it breaks open, or whether that one missed block would have broken open a play. You can tell whether a DB is really getting beat or not. You can watch the one on one battles on the line. I could go on and on. I find games on TV to be very frustrating because there is so much more I want to see but cannot.
direct tv to watch and a stand-alone dvd recorder to burn every game to dvd. can watch whatever, whenever.:metal:
Live on TV. 90% of the time at home by myself. As most of you, I get a bit animated during games, and I really hate when people try to either make light of their play, or tell me that it's "just a game". Is there anything more annoying for then a person to bust out that line after your team just gave up a TD in the 4th quarter?
similar to this!!! lol usually with about 5 or so hot dogs and a diet coke to wash it all down...Monday is spent working off the fat and cursing out our run D and the qtrback
I agree with this wholeheartedly and there's really nothing I could add. You see plays develop long before the camera can catch them because the cameraman is committed to focusing ALWAYS on the LOS and what's happening ONLY around the QB. It's what is happening 20 yeards down field that sometimes is all the difference in the world. While you in your living rooms are still watching the QB release the ball, most of the fans are already on their feet because Cotchery is wide open heading for the end zone and here comes the ball! But lets go a step further. Between plays I love to scan the sidelines with my binoculars. You get to see Pennington talking to Clemens after a particular series, for example, arms motioning wildly as he's describing what Clemens can do about such and such. You see Mangini walk over to one of the CBs after he gets beat and give him some confidence. All kinds of things develop on the sidelines that make being there so much fun. At the last game (the KC game) for example, Mike Westhoff was directly in front of me and looking up (almost directly at me). He had a strange look on his face... almost a sad look... and waved to some people behind me (I assumed they were family members or people close to him). Turns out that was his last game and he was waving to them and almost acknowledging to them that, "Hey, I'm okay," because right after that game he announced that he wouldn't be returning this year due to the surgery. You'd never catch that on TV in a million years.
Sunday Ticket - I used to go to the bars but two Long Island I.T's on the first game and draft beers would tally up to 40+$ a day. I buy beer at Costco @ 21$ a case and scream all the shit I want about whatever I want without offending anybody.
Home games mostly at the stadium, away games on DirecTV, now in HD. At least until the PSLs come around, then probably more on TV and less at the stadium.
