does anyone here still get excited ... (1 Viewer)

Find a new bar, pack a lunch, get drunker, don't eat, spend more, watch at home etc... Lack of food would never deter me from watching the games. Food helps but it's the games that count.

 
Been doing FF for 14 years and have watched football as long as I can remember. I have a hard time sleeping on Saturday, even after all those years. :thumbup:

I love Sundays during Football season. The only days that rank up there with them are the NFL Draft, My fantasy drafts/auction, Christmas (because I have a 2 year old) and my wedding anniversary (because my wife is reading over my shoulder).
 
Does anyone here still sit down to go poop?

What kind of question is that

What all these guys said. Frankly, I wonder at times how healthy my obsession is . . . but then I'll put it out of my mind by scouring the waiver wire one more time.

 
Hell yeah, I get excited! I actually rarely go out on Saturday nights during football season anymore just so I don't oversleep or have a wicked hangover. Monday and Tuesday mornings (and the occasional Friday morning) are a completely different story however :unsure:

Don't forget the Pro-Bowl. Shoot yeah, I still get excited on all Sundays during the NFL season,I find myself lighting the grill at 9 o'clock in the morning ,... ribs and/or steaks and/or burgers by dinner!
 
Its almost depressing at this point in the season knowing your life has broken down into six day weeks, because your entire Sunday, from Countdown to the Horse Trailer is spoken for. But its also glorious.

Personally, my week builds in an entire creshendo to Sunday. I generally try to avoid any NFL news on Tuesday to middling results, Wednesday I'll start looking at the spreads, looking at my fantasy matchups and my opponents. Monitor through Thursday and Friday. Saturday, I'll have a couple of appetizers in two or three college games(maybe more to come the way this season is developing) and then the Sunday main course. Wind down, process, digest on Monday and catch the Monday night game and just kind of sit feeling shell shocked by midnight Tuesday.

Then start it all over again.

I tell you, they can't do this 18 game season fast enough, and just do the Supe on Valentines Day, because I get so depressed when football is over, its crazy. Spring training comes to the rescue, but even at conference time in college hoop, it doesn't make up for football.

 
Many, many moons ago, I booked football on a fairly large scale. I had action on every single game, and juice on my side to boot. College football was a ton of fun, but NFL was the money maker. I would be so psyched on Saturday night, I'd have a tough time getting to sleep despite the 12 beers I drank watching college football.

I'm not quite there anymore. I don't gamble because I've been on the other side and I know it's a rip off for most of us. But FF has been a nice, more domestic, more legal substitute and I still live for NFL Sundays.

 
There's only one Christmas and thats draft day, followed by 20 New Years Eve's!

As for losing interest because your bar isn't throwing you a bone................get your priorities straight!!! :lmao:

 
I love football and Fantasy Football and looking forward to sundays. My only complaint with fantasy fooball over the years it has put a damper in the amount of time I watch my beloved dolphins and find myself rooting more for my fantasy team then the team I used to get jitters for on Sunday.

 
i've sort of come full-circle.

growing up, i spent every sunday watching football (not in the sports bars of course)

in college, i was always too hungover on sundays to watch football appropriately (my favorite player of all time, marino, retired right before i went to college and that didn't help)

started playing fantasy shortly after college. i started going to sports bars every sunday b/c i had to catch every single one of my players. i was the annoying guy at the sports bar hanging on every play for one of my guys.

over the years, i've calmed down about the fantasy aspect of it. i still love fantasy, but i've found that it's just alot more fun to go watch football let my "fantasy chips" fall as they may (i don't even take my laptop to the bar or keep up with live-scoring anymore). really, fantasy football is more for tuesday through saturday. sunday and monday night is just about football now and i couldn't be happier.

in some ways, fantasy football helped me find my way again.

from 1-8, i only have about 7 hours to catch as much as i possibly can of those 14 games. although, it's hard to really focus on more than about 3-4 games at once, it's comforting to be surrounded by the others, too. 3:00-4:00 (east coast) on a sunday may be the best hour of the week. tons of close games being decided at once, yet you know there's still a lot of football left to watch. the 4th quarter of the monday night game can get depressing when you realize it's almost completely over for the week.

to answer your question, yes i still get excited.
