NFT: What will you do with your time back on Sundays?

AJ23 : 11/13/2023 3:54 pm
As our 2023 season continues its trainwreck-like demise, I will likely spend a lot more time on Sundays with my wife and kids. I'm hoping to finish a sports/gaming theater room I've been building above my garage. But I wish I had more hobbies.

For those of you who will be dialing back the Giants late in the season, what are you going to do with your extra time?

From my favorite bar, an Irish pub that has the NFL ticket. The only game I have ever voluntarily skipped was the Geno/ Raiders game. I will be watching, and swearing, and laughing every week.
I was outside during the DAL game with a chainsaw

going to town on a felled sycamore. Had Papa/Banks on my AirPods and was getting the gist but not paying close attention. Decided multitasking to knock out a weekend project was more worth it to me than 3+ hours spent in front of a tv watching that nonsense.

in an alcoholic induced coma.

Numb to everything and everyone.
I won't sit in traffic to and from the games for one thing.

I am still planning on going to the Pats game (I have a Pats fan friend who's said he'd like to go), but that may be the last. Probably will still watch halfheartedly at home, but maybe not. I couldn't watch the Glennon/Fromm show two years ago, so...
Masturbate vigorously

Football.
The past two Sundays I turned the games off at halftime

Last week I watched a movie with my wife, yesterday I read a book.

I'll continue that way through the remainder of the season. If a game is reasonably close I'll stick with it, but I no longer feel obligated to watch just because it's the Giants on TV. It's the first time I've ever felt that way as a fan and it saddens me, honestly.

I am definitely not watching the games on Xmas or NYE. I'd rather spend the time with family and friends, I'm not ruining my holidays watching the Giants get stomped. That's especially true for the Eagles game. No way I'll watch a second of that, I'll just read about the carnage on BBI the day after.

I sat with my son in front of the TV with the game on

building the new Lego sets we bought after a visit to the park. I'm still watching, tho not as intently. Same with other NFL games, and college football too. All these years of my favorite being fookin embarrassing have added up. I need to build a media case or two for my office, but rather spend the time with him. Football on TV in the background is still a comfort for me on weekends.
During late October through mid November I spend Sundays

Raking leaves. Once I’m done raking them into a pile I then separate them into species- maple, oak and birch ( I don’t bother with pines - they’re to hard to pick up)
Then I count which tree dropped the most leaves during that week. It’s less frustrating than watching the Giants. I’ve watched since Charlie Conerly was QB.
So I can tell you this -maples drop more during late October through mid November.
So if you’re looking for something to do during the Eagles games hit me up- I have extra rakes.
Dabs, I have a super small rake for you so I know you’ll be occupied through season end.
Pssst, we can bury that coach of the year trophy in the pile of leaves… no one will ever know you won that award😉.

Get off the damn couch

There will still be good games

It'll be much more background  
Sean : 11/14/2023 6:59 am : link
But, I'll still watch. NFL season flies by and soon there will be no football on Sundays for 7 months.

At the end of the regular season it is 6 weeks to pitchers and catchers!
And the start of another demoralizing season for NY sports fans in a different sport.....
Will watch/listen to the Giants game  
US1 Giants : 11/14/2023 7:44 am : link
but will lose some of my focus and multi-task during the game.
Still watching the Giants in a semi comatose state

Until my grandchildren’s indoor soccer and basketball seasons start on Sunday afternoons
Nothing changed  
UConn4523 : 11/14/2023 8:22 am : link
I barely watch anyway. Time with my kid, movies, video games, etc have all been better options for years.
whatever we feel like doing. actually been that way for years, 2022  
Victor in CT : 11/14/2023 8:22 am : link
excepted, after Columbus Day. We have a Christening on Long Island Sunday, Christmas decorating Thanksgiving weekend, Norwalk Symphony Holiday Pops concert on Dec 3, 25th Birthday for my son the weekend of the 10th.. We'll have lots to do.
Sill enjoy watching NFL games so its not like there  
ThomasG : 11/14/2023 8:27 am : link
aren't other choices.

Watched the second half of the 1pm Brown/Ravens game which was very good. Then put the Giant game on until they failed on that 4th/goal run which was essentially the end of the game. And then switched over to Lions/Chargers which was a great game.

YouTubeTV is fantastic

Every Giant game is recorded, you can go about your Sunday if you have plans while unplugging completely. Come back and watch the Giants in a hour fast forwarding in between plays and commercials.
Got a new girlfriend  
Route 9 : 11/14/2023 8:52 am : link
whatever she says ...

But seriously, the one upside about these loser years is if the Giants play at 1, I can miss the game completely by sleeping in. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd blatantly miss Giants games. I could see if they were competitive in their games and bad for a short stretch, it'd be fine.

I remember thinking 2013 was a one time thing and a fluke to start a year 0-6 and didn't think it was anything to worry about. Boy was I wrong. Holy fuck was I wrong.

If you were to ask me about any Giants game during the Coughlin years, I could tell you every single detail. The games from the Shurmur/Judge/Daboll days I couldn't help you out.

Oh yeah, the Rangers. Gotham's white knight. Lol.

Oh yeah. Whatever the girlfriend says goes. She is absolutely crazy about me (duh) but man she gets so fucking intense! Let's hope she doesn't kill me anytime soon.
That Jets game pissed me the fuck off

Lol!! I went to one of those Glennon games. Sat behind the Giants bench and trashed Judge and everyone else the entire time.
I rewatch the Saturday game for a real football team

I used to give a shit maybe they could spoil Philly's home field or something, yeah right. These jokers aren't even capable of losing to them by only 40 points. Don't care if the Eagles win the Super Bowl. Who the fuck cares anymore
