If you decide to have kids you would either need a very understanding wife or a good divorce lawyer with a work schedule like that. Train Conductor ... 80-90 hours does include my time spent resting away from home between trips, so not “working” by definition, but paid hours. 🙉 blue_gold_84 and SPuDS 2

He has played some special teams as recently as last season in the NFL and caught a handful of balls (16 receptions over 4 years in the NFL, but only 3 since 2015). He could very well prove to be a great addition for the Stamps but he is also a guy who had a single great season five years ago and hasn't seen much action since. Hard to know what they're getting.

Unfortunately I am guilty of only watching the games on PVR if we win or if it's competitive... I don't like burning my 3 hours of free time per week on watching the team getting creamed. I do think we are close to being able to win a cup... just a few small tweaks would make a world of difference for the club. I'm a bit sad that Strelever didn't get the full season to grow and learn because long term I think he's the real deal. I do the same as you. Unless it's a west coast game I have to pvr it lest I incur the wrath of my family lol. And if it's a loss it gets deleted without being watched. I see no reason to put myself in a bad mood over a football game. Wait a day or two then come here and get the lowlights when I can laugh about it. And if it's a win I can savour the game, skip all the commercials and hit mute if Rod Black's doing play by play.

bearpants Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 I agree with a lot of people here... but I find it impossible to just "stop" being emotionally invested in a team... I go into watching some games thinking I don't really care... but as soon as the game gets close or any sort of adversity... I find myself very much right back into it... I was at a wedding last Saturday night and I pvr'd the Bombers/Esks game... luckily I was able to avoid the score and I watched the game sunday morning... I started thinking "we'll probably lose so I'm not that concerned"... the 4th quarter I was pacing, nervous and sweating despite having a 20 something point lead... If you're truly emotionally invested in a team, it doesn't just "go away"... and if it does, then you were never invested in the first place.... I've been a St Louis/LA Rams fan since the Kurt Warner days... and I watch the games and cheer for them... but I don't feel the same level of emotion... if they lose, they lose (I guess it helps that they're good right now and that level of emotion will ratchet up a bit come playoffs)... I don't absolutely despise the Hawks, Cards, and 49ers the way I do the Rider and Als (or whoever is playing the Bombers that week)... that level of emotional investment can only come with a lifetime of attending games and cheering for the same team...

A lot easier to do if you're working 9-5 with weekends off but that's not always the case, some careers demand more and you have to cut out all extraneous activities in order to succeed. Kind of like becoming a football player. 😀

I appreciate that life gets in the way.. I've missed three homes games this year and probably haven't missed three games in the last 5 years combined... What I am saying is when you do watch the game... if you are truly emotionally invested in a team... you will feel everything cheering for your team... no matter the circumstances... blitzmore, SPuDS and blue_gold_84 2 1
