Do you watch sporting events from start to finish?

College football has gotten insane. Who can sit on a couch for 4-5 hour broadcast?

Feel like the latest trend it to cater to those tuning in randomly. Insane thinking the average person has the attention span to put up with this bullshite stoppages in play, breaks after every 2-3 plays.

Can’t remember the last time I sat down for kickoff and didn’t get up until the final whistle.

Yes, I do. I watch my favorite teams from start to finish, and anything else is mostly background noise unless it’s a good game.

No, I can't sit and watch something that long. I have football on Saturdays as background noise and I put RedZone on for Sunday

Sundays at noon, I go walk by dogs for 20-30 minutes then turn on the NFL game and fast forward through 10 commercials breaks.

Yep. That’s my chill time.

Everything else can wait.

I used to all the time, and I'd watch all Saturday. Then I had a brain injury that fricked up my ability to form long-term memories. I still form them but they're low resolution and vague and disappear into a 15 year (as of now) blur after a couple of days and it really kills sports when you can't remember who your team played two weeks ago.

It's not as bad as it sounds and has actually improved my 'well-being' for the most part because I exist in this constant present state, don't form grudges, and don't remember what I should be depressed about. The drawback is I'm pretty much limited to things I learned before 30.

I can count on one hand how many football and baseball games I have not stayed till the end in the last 40 years. To each his own.

If it’s a meaningful LSU football or baseball game then yes

With a three year old, it’s impossible. Maybe when the boy is old enough to enjoy the game with me

I watch just about every play of all LSU and Saints games, either in person or on television. Unless I get pissed off and leave or turn it off.

Well, I'm a Hog fan so I usually turn it off early and avoid the heartache.
