football season
« on: November 15, 2016, 01:10:22 pm »
some men want to watch all the games.
sometimes, there are two games on at the same time.
it would be some exercise routine if you watched one game in the living room and the other game in the bedroom.
you could record one and watch it later.
someone said, jokingly, you could have two tvv sets next to each other.
hey, you could go to the mall and hang out near the store that sells tv.
I have seen people do that.

I just watch one game at a time.  But i do flip between games during commercials. But I usually watch the game that is more entertaining.

Unless the Steelers game is on TV (in this geographical area they usually get pre-empted by the Browns game), I tend to watch NFL RedZone where they whip around from one broadcast to the next depending on which teams are the closest to the "red zone" inside the 20 yard line.  Sometimes they have two or three games games on a split-screen if there are multiple games near the goal line.  It is crazy wild in the earlier Sunday games when there are usually a lot more games going on.  In the later afternoon games, there are often just 2 or 3 going on, so they tend to stick with one or the other for extended periods of time.  If they are broadcasting one game full screen, they use the standard broadcast with the network assigned announcers in person at the game.  When they do split screen or transition from one broadcast to another, there is a studio host specific to the NFL RedZone channel who explains the scenarios going on.

Like I said, when the Steelers are on locally - I go to that broadcast.  But when they aren't on locally, I at least get to see the coverage when they or their opponent are "in the red zone".

They pitch it as seven hours of commercial free football.  I know it sounds crazy, but it has become my preferred way to watch games on Sunday.


For those in fantasy football leagues, this is also a fun way to keep tabs on your own players' progress as every touchdown and almost every major play is broadcast as it happens or very soon afterward.

I'm always doing something while watching games so 1 at a time works for me!

When I was in grad. school, I'd often go to a sports bar that had multiple TVs with all of the games going on at once. It was really fun when there were several division games going on at the same time; rooting for my team and rooting for the opponents in the rest of the division games. Now I just tend to watch one game; maybe I'll flip channels if the other league has an interesting game going on.
