Generation Selfie Bowl.

That Marshawn Lynch piece - he spoke yesterday for 2 minutes - was some of the most ignorant, self-involved, victim shit that I've ever seen. Dude grabs his penis on field, refuses to speak to media, and then whines about the attention. He's making millions in a sport funded by the fans... "I'm here to prepare for a game, and you're trying to ask me all these questions..." I'm not sure he understands that's the point of media day lol.

So I think I'm rooting for shady brady at this point. Lynch is the worst.

4 of the last 7 or so have been great, and some of the greatest games in NFL history.

my sister, brother-in-law and their eldest son just arrived in Phoenix ... they live in Boston and they're taking my nephew to the Super Bowl for his birthday ... they know the Patriots owner (Kraft) and so they'll be getting a little "VIP" access there.

myself? I don't really care about the game, but will be rooting against the Patriots anyway haha.

that is like 50% ratio. Sucks, should be 100%.

But... When you have a mean witch changing the channel all the time, hard to get into the game.

Pretty sweet for them. I have a buddy who got a flight out there and gets to go to some cool parties - Snoop Dog, possibly Playboy, but doesn't have a ticket. Right now they're up to 8 grand or something crazy.

That's a dynamic I wouldn't want to deal with.

That "dynamic" is no longer... But lost my interest now for football and hockey. Was a huge pisser to deal with. The worst? The station was changed to cooking shows and shit like that. Really? Let's miss history in the making to watch some fat all twat cook up chicken, yes, let's do that...Was having an absolute shit fit beyond words, fuck...

Televisions aren't very expensive, why didn't you just buy a second ?

Well, there is nothing wrong with having a favorite team, then when your team doesn't make it, rooting for another team win.

True. Had one even, was too broke to set up the cable on it. No joke...

yeah, lots of fancy Super Bowl parties ... the last time the Patriots were in the SB my sister & her husband were there and they mingled with various "celebrities" ... don't remember all the names that she dropped (haha) but I do recall that she said that they had a couple of drinks (and chatted) with Steven Tyler for quite awhile.

Yeah, I've heard you get that kind of access to celeb at these things. I'm sure the experience is amazing, but outside of something like that or the occasional luxury box score, I prefer football at home on TV.

Baseball is different.

are you a Yankees season ticket holder? or how many baseball games (approx) do you attend each year?

Had a buddy who was a seaon's ticket holder. His four seats were 37,500 per year, roughly 12 rows up from third. In the Old Stadium's last year, without notice they doubled the price to 75,000. When the new stadium was getting built he was invited to a private tour and then to discuss transition. New price at the new Stadium was 161,000 so he said fuck that.

So now, I go to YS maybe 1-2 times a year, catch the Yanks at Fenway once or twice, and may catch an occasional non Yankee sox game if the tickets find me. That's about it. I will be catching a game at the Rogers center this year though, as it's by one of our offices up there by you.

Eh, I am sort of split on this. The media sucks, so who cares. However, he is a jackass.

I really don't care who wins the superbowl, but Id love for seattle to lose just to see this moron walk off the field boohooing that he lost.

This jerk off would be working at a car wash or Burger King if not for the NFL...
He will blow through his money and be broke by 50.
If he wants to see his future, he has to look no further than the 30 for 30 on Lawrence Taylor.

holy shit, crazy prices!

my pair of Blue Jays season tickets (first row behind the plate, but without the waitresses and cushy seats) cost $8,748 ... and that's after they just increased the rate this winter ...

but I guess that's the difference between watching a storied franchise and perenially contender play in a 1.5B park, and a Canadian team that plays in an outdated stadium and that hasn't made the playoffs in 30+ years. $:-\$

22 years to be exact...
