    I just wish they would get to the series finale sometime soon.

    This one looks like a long runner. It feels a bit repetitive though

    The foreshadowing of the effects of concussions on players seems like they're setting up the finale, but it might take a while to get there.

    Ironically enough, the excess of concussions nowadays are due to overly protective gear. It gives them a sence of protection that leads to more violent tackles, which then leads to more violent headshakes.

    It's like when they introduced gloves in boxing. Pre-gloves, it hurt like a motherfucker to hit someone in the face. You'd have just as big of a chance to break your hand as the opponents jaw. So they had to make the gloves 'hurt' again by making them thinner.

    They took that one guy out with an ankle injury. Shoddy writing IMO.

    I am from Seattle and I didn't even know the Seahawks made it to 'the big game' until literally yesterday.

    Sportsball!

    It's also a very valid answer to a football fan. There's two camps, Patriots fans and literally every other fanbase going for the Seahawks.

    I only know because tv shows that normally air episodes on Sundays shift their schedules to earlier in the week. Also, NBA games which I actually follow are moved the day before and the ones are left start earlier in the day.

    I used to watch a lot of football. It would consume so much of my time. I’m not sure if it’s getting older, having kids, manufactured drama, folks tying their identity to something they have no control over, or the ‘kneeling’ bullshit but it was kind of eye opening when a buddy of mine called me today to ask who I was rooting for and I genuinely had no idea what he was talking about. I don’t think he believed me when I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. I haven’t seen a single game all year and I don’t think I’ve missed anything. Happy that folks find enjoyment in it but I just don’t think it’s my bag anymore.

    I was slightly interested in getting into it. Youtube had some 15 minute sample of Sunday Ticket. So I figured I'd catch the end of the Bears game. Why not.

    13 of the 15 minutes were ads and the demo ran out. Iirc it was exorbitantly priced to continue, and you wouldn't get everything.

    So instead I watch pro League of Legends. Not as relatable, but a hell of a lot cheaper to watch, and I enjoy it.

    There's a site I use where you can download sports videos. Often you can find the "compressed" version of a gridiron football game. An NFL game on TV typically lasts 3 hours from the kickoff to the final whistle. The game clock runs for 4 15-minute quarters, but they stop that clock all the time. Any time there's a point scored, the ball is turned over, or the clock hits a special value (end of quarter, 2 minute warning to the end of a half, etc.) they stop the clock and while things happen there's a commercial break. They also have commercial breaks every time either team calls a timeout. But, what's extra ridiculous is that there are "TV Timeouts" when the network itself calls a timeout so they can show some commercials. Anyhow, that's how a 1 hour game expands to fill a 3 hour slot.

    So, these compressed games, you'd think they could shorten it to just 1 hour, right? What's amazing is that they actually manage to compress it to about 30 minutes. Not only do they cut out everything happening while the clock is stopped, they even cut out stuff when the clock is running but nothing much is happening -- the players are getting up to the line, the quarterback is calling out before the snap, etc.

    So, gridiron football is about 83% filler, and 17% actual action.

    I came across something about it this morning, and thought, 'Oh, is that today?' Then I forgot about it again until this post.

    I've never cared about sportsball, but I've learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn't avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.

    I'm old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y'all have fun.

    I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I've been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.

    Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn't even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.

    Culture is shattering.

    Yep, and the commercials were actually things you'd only see once, with huge production values.

    The most fun take I heard about this: "Why are they playing a football game at the Bad Bunny concert?"

    It was weird when American food franchises started advertising that they would show "the big game this weekend" in Canada and no one knew what they were talking about.

    Then it started defaulting to that it must be that American game. Now I imagine most people hear about it from the internet before those signs go up.

    You see how much money is being made on sports betting.... Hmmm. I wonder if that will have an effect on the outcome?
