Watching games of the past
 

Well the 2020 season is over. Super Bowl is over and the off season is here. I will be going back in time and going to watch Saints games from my DVDs collection. I have games from 1977-2019.

If you see a guy holding up a big Saints banner in the stands of the Seattle “beast mode” game that is me...unfortunately.

I watch this loop and think of that magic year not so long ago..

As you watch notice the size of the shoulder pads! They were huge back then..

Re: Watching games of the past
 

I don't have the games from before they replaced my DVR. But I've still got half the season.

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

Hi yes I know. The jerseys were bigger with actual sleeves. And the players wore full size shoulder pads, thigh pads, knee pads.

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

Re: Watching games of the past
 

You can find almost all of the Dome Patrol era games on YouTube. I had a blast last summer going back and watching those.

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.

Once again the day RailBoss realized that there truly was a God watching over our beloved Saints.
We all have our favorite players however I will always be grateful for Tracy O'Neil Porter the kid from Port Allen.

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

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....:cool:

Re: Watching games of the past
 

I will occasionally watch old games that I find on You Tube. The old games I enjoy most are the games Chuck Muncie played in. I still can't get over how big and fast he was.
