WTF would I do without Redskins football for a year?

[Gmanc711]

I think it will get done....

However if it doesn't, I'm defintley going to a bigtime college football game in leu of going to a Redskins game next year...

I honestly would be kind of interested to see what would happen without NFL football. I agree with Saden in saying, I'd probably be in awesome shape... I'd do more fall things on Sundays since we have such nice falls. Maybe go hunting or something, I don't know... I mean I never want it to actually happen, but I think a year off from football would be kind of interesting.

She tells me there will be better things to do once we are married and living together and I told her I only need 5 minutes max.

Well you listed about 8 games at about 3 hours each so your really around 24 hours of football. Anyone else think Saden is going to get hit with reality when he gets home from the honeymoon? Saden what else do you do for entertainment as a single man?

Well, I suppose I'd stay pretty current with new release movies if there is no football to watch on Sunday afternoon. I'd also take more Sunday afternoon naps. If I need a football fix, I could always play Madden.

Not having football on sunday would be sad but at the same time would open up the schedule. Would have no problem finding things to do & I wouldn't be rushing, trying to do house projects before game.

My wife is a football fan, though for the opposite teams. She's a cowpoke fan & went to UVA. Our son is 14 months old & has clothes of each team, a couple little footballs he always carries around & 'football' was actually the first real word he spoke.

So yeah, we would miss it if there's a strike, but I think for the long-term health of the nfl a work stoppage is actually needed. In 06 the owners signed the deal simply to avoid the stoppage, then they were unhappy w/it. I don't want to see that happen again, and I'd be willing to wait for a good deal.

Obviously I love football but I also love the offseason with my Sundays wide open.

With a new baby on the way next year, I figured I wouldn't have much time to watch much football next year even if there was a season (which I think there will be)

As it is, I don't even watch that much on Sunday afternoons. I tend to watch a bit here and there but more often will watch later at night or the next day. My days and many of nights are consumed with sports, so Saturday and Sunday afternoons I usually spend that time decompressing from sports before the next week.

Actually you will find that with a new born they sleep allot so you find yourself sitting around stuck in the house with more time to watch TV. That's what my wife told me anyways.

It's insane how much football i really do watch .. having the football package on sundays take's it to another level .. especially out here in AZ .. i literally start watching games at 10am until 8pm . that's like the entire day ... obviously i painfully watch every Skins' game .. but RED ZONE feature on DirectTV kicks so much ass for fantasy football

Without the Redskins for a year, the general health and well-being of men and select women in and around the beltway will improve substantially.

Is the game atleast on? I'd go nuts if I didn't know whats happening in a Skins game.. That's why I got the Sunday Ticket also on my Iphone lol

I'd probably be a lot happier,these Skins have been so frustrating to watch the past few years,and when they lose Im in a bad mood for 2 days.Im second guessing myself on buying the sunday ticket this yr,they are so frustrating to watch and every frickin game theyve won has come down to the wire and almost gives you a heart attack.

Sometimes it's on, sometimes I just get alerts, or listen to it on my phone while I'm doing stuff. It really varies, but I always know whats going on and I see the game by the next morning at the latest. Sometimes I'll watch a different version of the game though

[skinsfaninok]

^ different version?
