Social me wants to have a party with people over to have fun...the Saints fan in me wants to sit alone in my sanctuary so I can cuss and jump around like a psycho.

I'm the exact same way. Usually have my brother over and we do those things together. But when I'm watching a Saints game I'm zoned in so I don't usually like too many people. You always have that one freakin talker that I have to tell to shut the hell up until commercials so I can watch the game.

I prefer alone on a recliner, but am rarely able to do that. The last time I did was the 2009 divisional playoff game because I couldn't handle being around others. I would've preferred to do the same for the championship game, but I found myself with a group of friends and my future wife at Fat Harry's...I went to the Super Bowl and that was, oddly enough, a cake walk compared to the championship game.

The last 7 seasons has been a healthy mix of stadium, social gatherings and with family/SO

This season will all be NFL Sunday Ticket with my family

I watch the games at home either by myself or with a few family members in the living room.

Used to watch it with a bunch of friends in college, but now prefer to watch at home alone on the sofa. More relaxing, and if we lose, I can sulk in private.

The problem with larger groups is the misery of a loss is amplified greatly. A party turns ugly quickly. I was alone watching the Saints in the playoff loss to Seattle last season and I'm glad. I wasn't a good person to be around.

the pats game, I could handle...I think...maybe

but when SP made the same loser decision again against the panthers at the end, I lost my fricking shite.

Seattle was a demoralizing beatdown

St. Louis was frustrating because they whooped us (drew's garbage time performance saved my fantasy season though) and we should have whooped them

I was perfectly sociable for both Atlanta games (including one where I was in the box :notsosubtlebrag)the first Carolina game, both tampa games.

My knees were weak after the SF game.

you should have seen me during the NFC Championship vs. the Vikings.

but now, I go to the bar occasionally down the street from my house and watch the games there with a group of friends. I guess it just depends on what our schedules look like or if we just feel like meeting up.

I've got Sunday Ticket this year though so I don't know if I'll leave the house on Sundays as much.

I also try to go to a game or two at the Dome each year. I'm thinking Saints-Ravens this year, I want to be there when we finally knock those guys off.

Watch every game with my Dad. Either in the Dome or at his house.
