watching sports on tv

i watched the entirety of the ryder cup. many, many hours friday, saturday, and sunday. i dvr'd the football games, and despite myself the nascar race (i run three dvr's) the ryder cup on all three days was some of the best sports drama in the last few years. it was great, kept me on the edge of my seat for 3 days...... go America.
Sunday night i watched the early cbs game, bengals vs. giants, a great ot game. giants should have lost it.
i then watched the colts game. (back story) my buddy, his wife and I had season tickets from '94 to about 2001. during this time we were harassed by the dome security, ushers and cops almost every game. (more on that later. why did dungy elect to throw on the last series when a couple of runs would have left no time on the clock. up until that point GREAT clock management. those two throws to stop the clock when you had one time out and over a minute,well, bad. they deserved to lose the game anyway.

so to recap even with dvr, ryder cup 5 hours of actual watching on sunday. 3 hours taking care of LB (little bastard)my grandson, walked him and let him run around the park and football field for several hours. two complete football games about 4 1/2 hours. 12+ hours of sports viewing pleasure. during this time since i am not at work and required to be sober, somewhere around 18 beers (becks.

i watched the bucs / bears game. very entertaining. two great qb's from the same team (bears). the bucs beat the bears, who beat the colts, does this mean griese is better than peyton?

a ~billion dollar taxpayer monolith, colts stadium, no wins, bring back the hoosier dome. reggie miller and peyton manning should reimburse the taxpayers of indiana the cost of the fieldhouse and the new stadium, without them they would not have been built,...... just kidding. i like the new facilities. i would rather my stolen tax money to infrastructure than, to lazy fuckers and twelve baby welfare bitches.
