Pro Bowl on a Saturday night - who has no life??

[fgssand]

For those with no life - go ahead, step up and admit that you will watch tonights game.

ME - Yes, i admit it - I will watch the Pro Bowl because I am an NFL / Pro Football junkie. I think the game itself sucks, but will watch anyway.

I was fortunate enough to actually attend last years game and had a nice time - rain and all. I was a guest of the NY Jets last year and attended a few events such as players BBQ at one of the NFL host resorts - met a few players such as Peppers & Lynch (told him he should have come to NE and he laughed) and even Berman from ESPN (he is huge by the way and a little stuck up). Overall, the NFL does a great job of making everyone feel welcome.

As for my NFL addiction, I cannot get enough:

I read this group daily and virtually all NE patriot news / talk / rumor on what seems to be an hourly basis (especially when at work, productivity baby).

I will watch the NFL draft from start to finish, both days.

I will watch the rookie symposium on NFL Channel

I will watch what they feed us from owners meetings in March.

I will read all i can and watch whatever is shown to us at spring mini camps.

I will read all the coverage about training camp at Foxboro, listen to Mrs B's podcasts and even attend about 1/2 dozen practices.

Then, finally, the bullets become live as opening day arrives leading to an action packed season of NFL Football. My escape, my hobby, my passion - been following NFL football and this team from the beginning (as a young kid actually saw the first ever game VS Denver at old BU Field on a Friday night - they beat us then and pretty much owned us ever since).

So, anyway, who among us will be watching tonight???

im watching it..football is football

 

[Keegs]

I'm also watching it.

BB is coaching so at least that is something to look at.

Even tho the games are usually horrible.

It will also be fun to watch Vince Young play who is the 17th replacement AFC QB they tried to get to fill the slot.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Guilty. Although you don't get to watch much of the game with all the media gamesmanship.

Tried to watch practice last night (first time I've turned on NFLN in two weeks...) but Eisen and Faulk wouldn't STFU and let me just enjoy watching BB try to herd the camera crews off his stinking practice field ("come on guys, 15 yards...."). Bill wasn't miked yesterday probably much to NFLN's chagrin, but he looked to be having his own fun like blocking Merriman. I think he's making friends and networking to offset some of the misconceptions about his dour personality and the disadvantage we've been at not having a Pro Bowl HC and staff free to legally tamper the last 6 years.

 

[dtbrks]

I'll be watching as well.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

i usually watch for the league gossip...who are calling the game tonight?

 

[Kdo5]

I WONT. Because no Patriot is playing besiders Light, correct? And when Manning is on the field there will be some good ballwashing.

 

[patsacolachick]

I'm watching, I want to see if BB's good mood throughout the week carries over into the game

 

[Tunescribe]

If the AFC loses, what will BB say afterward?

"We just need to play better and coach better. I give the NFC credit, they did what they had to, to win. We were outplayed and outcoached. There's not much more to say."

 

[EnglishPatriot]

We won't get it over here, so no. Although I won't pretend I have a life. I could have gone to a party, I just didn't, and now I'm going to be stuck home alone watching "Any Given Sunday" at about 1 am becuase I've never even seen it before. What did we learn? That Jenni is a cheating *****. The end.

 

[FloridaHerb]

I'm reading a Patriots messageboard on a Saturday afternoon when there probably won't be any new news in a month.....of course I'll watch the Pro Bowl.

 

[TomBrady'sGoat]

nope. the girlfriend lets me watch the real games, i won't press my luck with a fake one. besides, i have zero interest in it.

 

[Kdo5]

nvm I'll watch since Bill is coaching.

Get a LIFE, dude!!!





(I'd probaby watch it, too, but not sure if it'll be carried.)

"... in all three phases of the game...."

 

[JediMind]

In 10 years, Sean Payton to offense = Bill Belichick to defense. Should be interesting.

 

[Fanfrom1960]

"... in all three phases of the game...."

Bill and the rest of the AFC coaches look sharp in understated Hawaiian shirts.

 

[everlong]

I'm going to record it on the DVR so I can watch it in only 70-90 minutes by fast forwarding through all of the ads and half time. I'll probably get up before the kids in the morning and grab my coffee and watch it then.

 

[Kdo5]

Hey Josh McDaniels sighting. He was like 'Hey Peyton' before he called the play.

Peyton was making frustrated expressions after every incompletion. Nothing new...

 

[Fanfrom1960]

Oh my G**, Josh McDaniel on camera calling in a play over the wireless to Peyton, said some play number and said run it in yourself if you can. Incomplete.
