Watching games of the past

I've never been into watching games that have already been played.

How many times have you watched certain movies over and over again? The story and ending don't change.

Or the same music?

Just not the same for me. I enjoy movies for the story. The same as novels I have read over and over. Music brings another sensation, but one that is still embellished by listening again. However, when I watch football my enjoyment comes solely from the unknown, dynamic nature. I'll record some sporting events thinking I'll watch them later, but never do because I already know the outcome.

I hear you, and fully understand. But entertainment is entertainment is entertainment..., to me, lol. Time and place for everything and while I do watch movies and listen to music much more often, repeatedly, than a sporting event, I still do go back and watch replays of sporting events. But, in all truthiness, even sporting events don’t “do it” for me anymore. I much prefer a wine-tasting. I think since I’ve already been at the Saints NFC Championship game and Super Bowl as a season ticket holder, I just didn’t get as “excited” in successive years, and I don’t regret letting my season tickets go away, at all. I do go back and replay games from the SB year as they “take me to another place and time”. Same for music and/or movies though.

Bottom line - for me..., nothing gets me as excited as a very good charcuterie board, live music outside, and a couple bottles of M5 Stagecoach Cab for my partner in crime and myself, along with family and friends at a big table.

Well, I'm not into watching commercials so it works for me.

Edit: When I do watch games other than the Saints, like a divisional rival, I record them. I watch the Saints live because I can't throw my mojo to my beloved Saints after the game is over....
