19 Too Much Sunday Football on my Desk!

Straight out of the camera except for crop
.
Kind of funny story...I was naturally watching Football on Sunday while i worked...I thought of Alistair and I could do triplets too! However, I tried to watch 3 games at once and...it really did drive me utterly Mad....after 10minutes, I turned off everything...it was pure visual overload, but let me add an additional point...this experience was different than seeing a bunch of screens at a sports bar...there is some distance for the eye to adjust too in that setting...but to be at a desk, flashing action up close...there lies madness...lol

Will players start wearing electronic sensors that will feed software that determines "down by contact", and will players be able to back off sufficiently quickly to avoid causing injury? Is hockey next?

Over the years, I see football having turned into a brawl by super strong and fast men where the outcome often turns into serious injury. The long term unseen brain injuries will ruin the sport.

I think the future is going to be a version of flag football, where the head contact & injury is minimized.

Alastair one of my old long time customers was a Kansas City Chief running back (inducted into the Chiefs hall of honor). I saw him over the span of 10 years or so turn into a shell of the man he once was from that terrible CTE injury. It was sad to see him slowly change from such a strong person into brain mush. He once said to me “ my brain isn’t very good anymore, I’ve taken a lot of hits” . Paul

I like watching American football, though I prefer real football (the version played primarily with the feet). I do feel a bit guilty about enjoying watching it, though, given all the long-term brain damage to the players. At least in the NFL the players are being paid quite a bit. College football is just exploitation (but I still watch Syracuse, where I went to grad school, when they are good). Luckily for me, Colorado is usually terrible (as they are this year), so I'm not tempted to watch them.

I love watching football! I closely watch looking at how the officials work the game, I watch the players looking for holding, passing interference, offsides, false starts, delay of game and of course my favorite personal foul, 15 yard penalty. I’m a armchair official. Paul

Football is the perfect visual sport for me...I long for football season with a certain desperation...I do watch too much TV, I suscribe to almost every channel possible, and I enjoy all of them...and that's the problem.

With movies and shows you really kind of have to watch them...Football, you can work, type, make copies, organize files...do all kinds of things, make tea, do the dishes, etc etc, you really only have to watch when there is shouting and cheering going on...and then there will be an instant repay!

But I am a real time kind of guy...I know people that record games for viewing later...this doesn't work for me...I'll be sneaking looks at the score...lol

We all have our ways.

I'm impressed.
Especially since I have so bored with pro football that I barely watch any games.
I can watch Sports Center at 10:00 at night AZ time and they give me a summary of the games and highlights.
