I would like to see the Seahawks win. I'd also like to see Belichick sitting out a year for cheating, but that will never happen.
Concernedad....THE SEAHAWKS, of course!!! I am here in the Northwest and my sister and her hubby were charter season ticket holders when the franchise first came into being. So...gotta go with the 'HAWKS!
This place looks like a minefield. ...so who's going to win the SuperBowl?
DramaSoul - We turned off our satellite :-(...so don't know HOW we are going to watch Hockey this year. Long lunches at Chili's???
Playoffs Last year I actually got sick of it...almost. We couldn't watch when it was on (timewise...is that a word?) and so taped it and would TRY to watch two games in one sitting.
Last times the Kings won Hubby got to touch the Stanley Cup and take a pic with it.(Photo op through work)
This year...he was able to take me to do the same! Woo-Hoo!
"Fraid I'm the same with Baseball. Last game I went too we were sitting pretty high up and I got bored and started watching the bats dive bomb the moths around the lights (sorry CD)
Baseball is calming and strategic.
Baseball? I only find baseball fun when I am at the game. It is really really slow and you can't see how the infield and outfield change for the batters unless you are there. I was kind of hoping the Orioles could pull it off because one of my son's best friends is from Baltimore. That said...after Kershaw couldn't carry the Dodgers I kinda lost interest, truth be told. Hoped he was the next Koufax. That was the last time I really liked baseball.
Shouldn't we be discussing baseball still?
FTLW....love it. I watch a little hockey since I get the NBCSN channel. I tend to watch more towards the end of the season, I admit it.
abbyblue....love your post. :)
