I never want to hear ANYTHING about FOOTBALL again...EVER!

[jcam222]

I’d be happy as heck if that’s what they played in all waiting rooms lol

 

[JIMSMOKES]

I quit watching / following / paying any attention to all professional and collegiate sports years ago. I'd rather smoke a nice rack of ribs or watch a beautiful sunset.

I don't watch/follow any of it. I will admit to using some for a reason to cook something for friends/family.

Sherry, next time you should bring me along...if I started singing they'd get you out of there in a hurry! You could sing along...know the words to We All Live in A Yellow Submarine?
I do get better with tequila!

I listen to it daily. I've been sports betting for over 30 years. Now I do it legally with a BET-MGM account. I'm retired and have time for things like this. I made some substantial money in years past. I turned a profit last year, and a nice profit this year. Beating the spread isn't easy, so every bit of information one can acquire is useful. It's fun to bet football games if you like and watch football. It's more fun when you win than it is when you lose. RAY

Well, the makes sense, but otherwise, I wouldn't see most people I know listening to these people as a regular thing.

I had a complete set of tires put on my truck back in the summer. They had to order the tires I wanted, so once they came in, I made an appointment to have them put on. I showed up about 15 minutes ahead and still sat there for around 4 hours to get 4 new tires and an alignment. From what I remember, it was an hour past my appointment time before they ever pulled my truck into a bay, then it just sat there with nobody even working on it for another 45 min to an hour.

Sounds like most Doctor appointments....

Yeah, pretty much

LOL! I most certainly DO know all the words!!!

And if that didn't work, we could do an impromptu Macarena...that would drive the devil himself bat-crap crazy!

Oh, been there, done that!

 

[SmokingUPnorth]

Hahah I watch ESPN/sports shows mostly throughout the day. Listen to all sports podcasts (skip and Shannon undisputed my main one). Can’t get enough of it.

 

[Nefarious]

I just spent the past 3 hours at the tire shop listening to NFL Now while waiting on a tire repair/new battery...oh my GAWWWWD!

As you were...

I'm on your side.

 

[negolien]

LOL yeah, sorry I stopped watching them the 2nd they started promoting antifa blm terrorists and throwing cops under the bus... How bout we shutter the NFL and use all that money to fund the veteran's administration and police across the nation?

 

[TNJAKE]

use all that money to fund the veteran's administration

Would rather defund it and send us to real doctors......but that's me

 

[Fueling Around]

My tire shop in MN doesn't even have a TV in the waiting area. Never waited over an hour.

Maybe even better with a yellow submarine, too?

Now my wife is laughing... started whistling the tune of old Hamms beer commercials! I don't know where it comes from!

Too bad so many never played high school football, it taught how to become a team player before entering the workforce. The relationships I found playing on the football field have lasted 54 years to this point, not all are still alive. One learned how not to be a cry baby just because you got a bloody nose, you learned how to hit back. I reckon some of the youngsters were happy with a participation trophy. Cracks me up!

Hamms the beer from sky blue waters, Hamms the beer refreshing! I worked on a remodel of the house belonging to William Hamm's the third around 1970. They had five little rat dogs that pissed all over the bedroom, she was a bitch, he was a slob.

You and my wife would make a good pair. She often bursts out in random song and doesn't know where it comes from either. Might be a jingle from a commercial, or an actual song. Really no rhyme or reason to her selections ... they just come out. I quit asking, "Where the hell did that come from?" years ago and just accept it as normal lol.

I learned at a very young age that fall school sports interfered with my outdoor pursuits. So I chose not to play. Would much rather be walking in the snow on a rabbit hunt or sitting on a deer stand....or freezing and wet in a duck blind. To each his own I say.

Like the OP, I'm marginally annoyed by 24/7 NFL talking heads (I enjoy watching a game as much as the next guy...but talking about the NFL ad-nauseum just sucks the fun out of football for me).

But THAT would make me boil Doug! What's the point of scheduling an appointment if they're not gonna keep it. Just bad business. And usually to add salt to the wound, if you have the gall to show up 5 minutes late to an appointment, they'll skip you and you lose your place.

Yeah, I was pretty pissed. The place does good work, but dang, if I knew it was going to go down like that I would of just dropped my truck off and came back to get it when it was done.

I know what you mean...I'm used to waiting at my local tire and service center while they work on my vehicles. They're usually pretty fast. But when they are backed up or running slow, it'd be nice of them to give a customer a heads-up (particularly when the customer has a scheduled appointment) so they can plan a drop off instead of sitting around for hours waiting.
