I know where you are coming from there, KJ 76, but for many of us "old guys," those days are long gone. Now, granted, I have been away in Korea for most of the past eight football seasons, but I remember the last time I went out to a sports bar-type place with a buddy (in the GBRFL) up in Hoboken. It was okay, but at this point in life, I would prefer to stay at home on the couch in my comfies with an open phone line and maybe a buddy or two dropping by. Maybe we can go out and toss the ball to break up the monotony. That's enough revelry for me anymore. BUT, you keep doin' what your doin', KJ, my friend. This "wonderment" is all ahead of you!

You hit that one on the head, Steg. I caught one Eagles game in a sports bar last season - while I was on the gulf coast of Florida on a biz trip.
I too prefer to watch the game at home now (unless I can score tix - or, more importantly, afford tix) with a few friends and toss the ball around during halftime.
I do tend to get rather intense during Eagles games, and the best way to watch them, for me, is all alone.

I would love to go to an Eagles game. I see them here in DC against the 'skins and when they played baltimore in the past.(I go to see the pathetic 10-10 tie a few years ago.)
However, I did go to the bar almost every week. A bunch of go to watch our fantasy players and drink. Ummm beer....

To be honest, the ticket is a great thing but doesn't interest me much! I am going to watch the Eagles no matter what game would be on. FOr all of the other games, the computer tracks everything I could ever need! Plus the computer gives me the stats, which is more important for FF!

Yea, and I love runnin' from the pisser to in front of the TV set every time I hear that little FOX or CBS jingle indicating "bottom-line" updates! When I can "view" ALL the games like when I am with a friend that has a satellite dish or at a sports bar, I kind of get to thinkin' that it is a bit anti-climactic.  In Korea (when I was able to watch games on the tube, which was NOT always), hearing that jingle used to lead to quite a bit of exercise by way of a grueling obstacle course of sorts. Here is how it would go: hear sound (then, like Pavlov's dogs  ), cut off current pee stream, jump out of bathroom rubber slippers and into house slippers (remember no shoes in the house in far-east Asia), trying not to drip piss on jammy pants, depart bathroom, trying my best, but usually failing, to NOT stub my toe on the ledge between the bathroom floor which is lower and rest-of-apartment floor which is elevated (this is because their-style heating system is in the floor and their bathroom is typically just a concrete floor with a "main drain"), and run to the TV usually located in my bedroom, between the rest of the apartment and which there is usually another little doorway ledge to stub your fuckin' toe on (they're all over the place there). All of this typically in the middle of the night Sunday into Monday as that is when the Sunday games are being played and broadcast live by way of the Armed Forces Network, which I oftentimes did NOT get based on where I lived, like LAST SEASON...  when I was only able to catch games if I had Monday off and could head up to Seoul to my in-law's. Anyway, lots of bruised toes and lost toenails during that era!

Yes, for functional, practical reasons involving (the unrelenting) dust (of Korea) and wet feet, pubic hairs, etc., etc.! Oh, and don't assume I was always alone on these nights!    (and that is not at all far from the truth  )

. The only way I can watch Daunte, Ricky, & the Rams play is to pay this ransom.
I love watching games at home or a friends house. You see, I tend to get a little excited and you never know when I'll jump out of my seat and run around the room like an idiot or get in a players face and tell him to back off my QB! My policy is get into it, or get out! I can't stand watching the games with people that don't care. I wait all week for these games and the last thing I want is someone telling me to sit down and relax, or one of my favorites... IT'S JUST A GAME. 
Looks like another long season of watching every Bear's game...
