Governor? I'm already the "lord" of my own little kingdom of wolves=several hundred square miles of terrain so rugged most of it cannot even be helicopter logged. Nobody tells me what, or what not, to do; I get up when I damned well feel like it, and go to bed whenever. I occasionally hunt but otherwise leave things alone. The water I drink and use to grow my crops comes from this drainage.

I like to sit on my mountain and reflect that I'm a descendant of MacBeth and through MacBeth also a descendant of the Pictish barbarian warlord "Foinnlaoch" (ca 200 BC). They both died violent deaths; I intend to outlive them by avoiding humans as much as possible.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Leanan', 'W')hat many don't realize is that sports is the most expensive item on the menu. Gotta pay all those $200 million dollar ball players, after all. ESPN is by far the most expensive cable channel, but only 18% of viewers watch it. Everyone pays for it, though. With a "pick your own" option, 4 out of 5 viewers may bail out of ESPN, meaning sports fans would have to pay five times as much.

ok can anybody tell me when it's the Superbowl ??
I never watch football, but I saw the superbowl twice and really enjoyed it, nice cheerleading, great half-time acts, nice overall show, too bad there's also a bunch of guys running with a stupid formed 'ball' and for the fact that they stop the game like every two seconds

but please do tell, when is it going to be aired on tv?

At least when it's over they can use that glitzy stadium to house homeless auto workers.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('0mar', 'T')he complexities and sheer althetiscm of the NFL is amazing.

[Leanan]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')'m interested in how much that is exactly in comparison to the advertising... will the players multi-million a year salary go down to somewhat reasonable levels?

[Chuckmak]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('oowolf', 'C')orporate fascism's idea of a football game. 70,000 clueless consumeroids; 11,000 cops, rentacops, FBI, Homeland security; metal dectectors; ID's; thousands of videocams; 10 mile no-fly zone; multimillion $ advertisements; several dozen overweight men chasing each other for 3 or 4 hours; busty bimbos; and The National Anthem!!!!!!

The epitome of our craptacular civilization.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', ' ')The point is why would you want to sit around getting fat and lazy watching a fictional game when you could be outside living a real game and end up healthier and having more fun as a result?

[smallpoxgirl]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', ' ')Do you have a thing against people who like to watch figure-skating too?

The Stupor Bowl (tm) (heh, what my Mom used to call it)

I guess I'm more on the side oowolf and SPG on
this one. I don't really hate it... it's more of
a non-event for me.

I'd rather be a player than a spectator. So... going
for a walk or a bike ride (both good times to think)
would be more of a priority for me. Even a round
of frisbee golf would be much more interesting.. cuz
I'm actually doing something and not staring passively
at the idiot box.

BTW, great first post oowolf. Craptacular - heh that's
a new one.

I haven't watched a football game since 1981 (or was it '82) when Jim Plunkett led the Raiders to a SB win over someone. I doubt if I'll ever watch one again.
