Congratulations Packers. Can we stop now?

[stevedeshazer]

Let's take all this back up in September.

Six months without football is fine. And I like football.

But it's time.

[Skittles]

1. K&R

[Swede]

2. Spring training for MLB in 2 weeks.

Take me out to the ball game.

[SidDithers]

4. Yup. Pitchers and catchers report in 8 days...

Play Ball!

Sid

[stevedeshazer]

6. Beat me to it.

:thumbsup:

[stevedeshazer]

5. Pitchers and catchers.

Then March Madness.

Then the NBA playoffs and the NHL playoffs.

Yeah, I'm screwed. I'm hooked. Who am I kidding anymore?

:)

I'll take a day off from sports maybe tomorrow.

10. Baseball is the most boring professional sport in the USA.

[Jackpine Radical]

14. I thought that was golf.

[stevedeshazer]

20. Yup.

Golf has to be the most boring thing ever.

[blondeatlast]

33. I've literally fallen asleep standing up at a golf tournament.

I live in Golf Central and I hate it!

[cherokeeprogressive]

22. I guess it's all relative.

As a former baseball player who aspired to baseball greatness, I sit on the edge of my seat with every pitch.

[BeyondGeography]

26. I love baseball

Life is what's boring.

[Terra Alta]

32. Nah, that would be NASCAR.

Watching a bunch of guys drive around in circles for three hours. Yawn.

[NYC_SKP]

37. Close tie with Golf, IMO.

Now if golfers would occasionally lose control of their carts, ala NASCAR driver, well then we'd have something worth watching.

:P

[Brother Buzz]

30. NASCAR starts next week!

Fun with fossil fuel!

:crazy:

[RandySF]

3. At least it's shorter than baseball.

[Lifelong Protester]

7. Give us at least a DAY here... we need something to cheer us

up here in the frozen tundra!

[TroglodyteScholar]

8. Um, you realize it hasn't even been an hour.

I don't give a good shit about football, but really. Give the Pack their day at least.

Sheesh.

[stevedeshazer]

15. Sure, they will get their day, as will the fans.

Deservedly so. I'm not disputing that.

[Lucian]

9. Yeah. People act like football is life.

Football sucks. It matters not to anyone other than those who play the game on who wins or who doesn't win. The Packers winning doesn't affect my life one bit, nor yours, or your next door neightbor's, your grandma's, or your boss's life.

[KansasVoter]

11. No sport does. Most movies don't. 99% of TV doesn't. But it is part of life.

[Kaleva]

12. By feeling you had to post a reply, the game does indeed affect your life.

If the game didn't, you would have skipped over this thread without a thought.

[Lucian]

13. It's annoying to see 438579385738945 threads on it.

That's why I had to respond.

Can't people keep anything in one thread?

[Kaleva]

16. I'd like to see the same done with all the Palin threads.

But some here love to discuss her and so I just pass them up.

[cherokeeprogressive]

24. And the Reagan threads, and the Bush threads, and the Cheney threads...

Would that it could be so.

31. Right there on the subject line is a little x in a square. Click on it when it looks

to be on a subject that offends your eyes, and it goes away. It's such a magical little x, the thread doesn't even open, it's just 'poof'.

[Telly Savalas]

19. Football is more important than the inane blathering of jerkoff TV news pundits

Yet folks make tons of posts each day at DU about the latter.

A lot of us enjoy spending a few hours each week kicking back and soaking up a game. Fun is important. Football may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's stupid to begrudge those of us who do enjoy it.

25. I'm so sad that you have nothing better in your life to do than to whine about a football game.

eom

[Lucian]

27. Maybe I should spend my time whining on how I don't have...

health insurance, a good job, or a house instead, eh?

I should just shut my mouth and worship those who get paid millions to play a sport that matters not to anyone. Hey, maybe I should go play for one of those teams, break the law, and get away with a slap on the wrist, huh?

[keroro gunsou]

35. it matters...

it gives you a reason to pontificate and proclaim how much better you are than the rest of us that like it.

sod off and let those of us who are fan enjoy ourselves a little.

[godai]

17. Not if the NFL has it's way. Next is...the Draft! n/t

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. Doesn't that go without saying? Football season is over.

[AsahinaKimi]

28. wait... I thought there was the

Pro Bowl in Hawaii..doesn't anyone ever watch that? no? um..Okay.

[cherokeeprogressive]

29. Yeah... you're right. SO right. Too bad the Pro Bowl was played LAST WEEK.

Football season is over.

Okay?

[neverforget]

34. Probably going to be a lockout next year so this is probably it.

[Omaha Steve]

36. There may not be a Sept.

The NFL is going to lock the players out!

[hfojvt]

38. NEVER!!!
