Yup we watch just about college everything. From the beginning of Football season until the end of the College World Series Softball and Baseball.

The only thing that is better, it Little League!!

The Eagles lost a lifetime fan when my 80year old father stopped watching them after they signed Micheal Vick. YEAH POP!!!

I am an avid football fan. I love my Vikings no matter what, although I will admit, it did take me a while to swallow the idea of Brett Favre on our Vikings team after hating him 18 years. I'm not liking McNabb for basically the same reasons! I also play fantasy football and have had a team with my 21 year old son since he was 15 when we still had season tickets. I gave the season tickets up the year Favre came to town - at the time I did not know he was coming!! Oh, well, I knew I had to give them up because my son was leaving town for college and my husband hates sports!!! So Sundays I watch the games in my sewing room while I'm working on projects! Skol, Vikings.

I really do like football GO PACKERS!!!! But I also feel I should be doing some hand sewing or something while watching and sometimes have to watch the replays because I missed the play.

I always thought sports were to participate, not watch. Except High School games where one screams until voiceless.

When the DH was in the hospital a couple of months ago, they kept leaving him on the sports channel. Drove him nuts!! I told them ... leave him on the wheather channel or the military channel.

Its just corporate welfare, plain and simple. Our county gave the local team a million dollar score board??? This is the same county that is laying off teachers and police. Don't even get me started about the drunks in the parking lot 8 hours before a game starts. Guess you could put me down as a "makes no difference if its back on tv or not".

I'm with you on this one! Hate the sport and hate hearing it on TV in the background.
