I just as soon watch paint dry, as watch a stupid football pro game.

At least watching paint dry is worth what the ticket cost.

I still very much relish football games in person. I can observe the full context and strategy of the game; especially substitution packages, which I don't get to follow on the idiot box because they feel the need to endlessly loop replays between all live action to assuage short attention spans and plain ignorant viewers.

TCU games are fun, but then that is about the total spectacle and not merely the game. The excitement, the flavor, even the exorbitantly priced vittles are delightful.

Now the TV experience mostly gives me a headache due to the over-production and ubiquitous and intrusive monetization inserts. And it's getting worse each year. I'm sure- tho I cannot prove it- most in-game producers/directors are meth freaks. When I watch a game on the idiot box anymore it's casually while I'm otherwise occupied with other tasks and the sound muted.
