So true. I rarely watch games with more than 3 other people. Those 3 people are

as big of fans as I am, and 2 of them are family members. I've tried the whole get together party thing for games and I hate it. I can't concentrate and 90% are talking about other things loudly while I'm stressed out of my mind. I guess I'm a grumpy old man when it comes to game time.

Sounds like a good way out of a calling that requires training until 9:00 pm

If it is a game I care about I watch it alone unless I'm at the stadium.

Why do you have a bag on your face?

Cause I copied this icon from someone years and years ago and never changed it.

ballen

8/19/19 10:17am

Because he is not at the stadium.

8/19/19 10:41am

Cuz he's a two-bagger.

I ALWAYS act better and get less upset/angry when I watch games with friends.

This is a good point. Having others around helps moderate your emotions.

This is true.

Do you also swear at idiots other vehicles when you're alone...

CougarThug

Are you telling me I need to swear more?

Tell him what you just said and you’d prefer to watch alone.

I've had awesome experiences watching rivalry games with rivals. It can be fun

A lot of this is different personality types. I could never watch sports
