Darn, football is over...

Well, we do have that pesky presidential election to look forward too. I guess we should check that out at some point. : ) After NFL Live of course.

The spouse has promised me the NFL Network ASAP, I'm hoping he'll come through for me. I am dying to see the Combine this year! They do air it, don't they?

We have the most archaic cable provider in the world. All the church channels you could want. Great if you don't want to watch anything remotely interesting.

The spouse has promised that we'll get DirectTV (or The Dish, I can't remember) so we'll have the Golf Channel and NFL Network. I'm holding him to his word--hard.

views are great there but just don't party to much enjoying it. they will save you. if you want saving or not.

I would recommend Directv that way if you ever decided to get the Sunday Ticket you're ready to go. Living in Texas I have to have the Sunday Ticket, it's the only way to see the Saints.

What do you guys do in the off-season? For me, I guess I will be a little bit of a better husband, like go shopping on Sunday... Gee...

My wife likes Nascar so I guess I am kind of stuck with that on Sunday. I actually hate Nascar, so I will probably just grab a beer or 12 while it's on. A good thing is the Mississippi Braves will crank it up in early April. I love baseball so I guess my off-season won't be so bad. Minor league baseball is a wonderful thing. Screw the majors, except on opening day. Opening day is historically the day I always call in sick to work. LOL.

I've been so busy that I don't have much time for TV right now bout the future looks good..
I love Nascar too, it's my second favorite sport so I'll have something to watch until football season begins.
The draft isn't far away so we have that to look forward to also..
My Nascar driver is Dale Jr., GO 88..

Beer. Beer, and more beer. When the beer runs out, get more beer.

Sometime inbetween, watch the posts about draft hopefuls (mostly from this board). Same for FA's.

And then... you guessed it. More beer.

" I love the off season actually. I love watching personnel moves, scouting players, and the draft. I look forward to it every year."

I'm with you Papz. I also like the Combine. It's still football season in just the business season.
