For me I recall listening to sports via the radio. Dad used to watch the game on TV turn the volume down and the radio up! He thought the radio announcers were better at describing the game! Now, it might be nice to just go out with some friends and watch the game at a local restaurant.
You might find this site helpful, Hillbilly Housewife. I know a lot of her ideas/menus etc. reminded me of my Mom and how she did things. Made things last, made do and made nice. http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/
I like to do the TV/radio split. Radio is better for descriptive calls. Not to mention most of those big TV guys are libs, whereas a radio guy might be a local with a real connection to the team.
Bookmarked...love sites like that! Thanks!
