I grew up 70 miles from Lincoln NE and have never been to a Husker game. Glad I missed today's game. Wow. I did attend my kids' games and followed the high school games when the teams were good. NFL sucks. NBA sucks. Soccer sucks. Hockey sucks.

It’s alot more fascinating if watching a sport you’ve played and are familiar with. Son plays football , so aside from getting excited for him and his teammates, I’m kind of apathetic. But baseball is another story. I was a distance runner primarily, though . I can watch a race and know what the runners are using for strategy. But at the end of the day, it’s still distance running which is boring to watch.

Nothing more boring than wasting a day watching some overpaid cry babys running on a field chasing a ball & I don't care what shape the ball is. Give me a field, wood, or a stream to walk in, through, or by & I am one happy fellow. A .22 on my shoulder or a fishing rod in my hand all the better.

I live in Bama and its like a religion here or even worse! I don't care for any of it! I know folks that have lost everything paying for travel ball and folks that hate each other over a football! I just don't get it ...but it does keep people occupied while I trap and hunt! You know we talk about you behind your back, don't you? LOL

I have become your way.
I use to watch but all of the off field antics and now recently the on field disrespect to our country as turned me way off from supporting any overpaid crybabies. Including actors. They can keep their movies as well. Yep. Overpaid crybabies getting paid millions to run a ball around a field having the nerve to disrespect a true patriot on the front lines getting shot at in order to give the crybaby his freedoms. All while making 1/50th of his salary. They can shove it where the sun don't shine.

depends on your childhood, I grew up in Chicago, no garden , no hunting. We played basketball, football, baseball, really we would play for 8 hours at the park on Saturday, besides every day after school. I always had the call of the wild. I would go to the forest preserve (1 to 5 acres in the city ) and come home with my pockets full of acorns. Older brother tried out for the Cubs, younger brother got a ride to St Joes, with Isiah Thomas, I was asked to play for Circle Ill. I moved up here, Merrill Wi, I hunt, trap, garden, have 20 blueberry bushes, 22 apple trees, raspberries, heat our house with wood. We had our 4 kids play sports but they learn't all this other stuff also, now I'm taking our 12 grandkids hunting, trapping, gardening, fishing, and they all play some sport also, I think it rounds a kid out if they do sports and outdoors things. It's to bad pro sports got so political, if you don't stand for our anthem you should be castrated, if you even have any. God Bless America. I watch a game here and there just so I can irritate Packer fans. A lot of sports is fixed by big money I know first hand, its sad.

Wife watches Bama and cheers for them. I could car e less if they never made another ball to chase after.

If you lived in “Title Town “ you’d have a different out look. Winning fixes everything ....Patriots,Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins....love them all...win or lose. Me and the wife watch them....maybe just the 2nd half sometimes ....both my sons could care less about our sports teams....

In highschool I would rather stay home and clean calf pens than attend a game. 40 years later and I still have the same opinion.

I was never a big sports fan. But since the NFL took to there knee I have never watch another NFL game since or any other sports. I NEVER though the Green Bay Packer would do such a thing. JMO
