I don't care.....

I, for the most part agree Buddha. I work in advertising and it sickens me how much these space cadets get paid. Yes I understand they have a skill, but they are basically hired muscle. Then the engineers and crew member that put these things together get pennies in comparison.

Also, I just don't find these games entertaining. Sometimes when I'm working in a mobile production truck at a football game, we may have a favorite team and we may get a little excited when a good play happens. But that is just the nerd in us, what we're really getting excited about is being able to play with our fancy slow motion replay systems.

What I don't understand is how people dedicated all of their money and spare time to watching guys grab each other. I see trucks with raiders themes, and to me I just see that as how stupid they really are. Why would a person advertise that??

Buddah...we got almost 2 feet of snow Saturday...and another foot coming tomorrow. Riding is out of the question for me at this point. So, I drank beer, ate good food, hung out with friends, and watched a pretty good football game.

I personally don't care much for sports. I played baseball for 9 years, hockey for a few and basketball for 1 game. (worst sport ever).

I just can't bring myself to spend the kind of money it takes to "be a fan". I'd rather be in the garage wrenching or striking out with the ladies. [cool]

Marko, I am glad you were able to enjoy the day, my rant is based on my personal beliefs/opinions..

I meant no disrespect to you or any other sports fan and Midnight brought up a great point aboot being able to afford to be a fan....

I originally am from the province of Onterrible..LOL and suffered thru some long miserable winters that began at the end of Oct and ended in April BUT if the roads were clear I would ride (then give my ride a nice long bath to combat road salt) but I am also the type that enjoys being outside year round.

I just do something that goes with whatever weather we are having, snow means a little bumper jumping with your buddies in a malls parking lot, going tubing down some hills/mountains, 4X4'in or riding quads/dirtbikes or snow machines.
For me there are always other things I would rather do then watch TV...(I spent enough time in the 70's with the TV as my babysitter)

as for people not understanding why we ride, I suggest they turn off the TV and read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance...

Ummmm, that won't help either - you've got to ride to experience it.
In the end, opinions are like a**holes, everyone's got one.

Edit: I did forget the most important deal about the whole day - Good Times involving Family, Friends, and Food. [cool]

No offense taken, my man. I've got a tv that I spent nearly 3,000 dollars on and it has a nice picture. I gotta watch it from time to time.
