What's your opinion of prime time games? (1 Viewer)

[educator_71]

I like them to an extent, but 4-5 is too many, in my opinion. The game is on so late, it's hard to focus on working the next day because of the lack of sleep. Of course, it is IMPOSSIBLE to go to before the game ends because I want to see evety play, even though we are blowing out the other team. I like the noon Sunday kickoffs becasue by 3, you can catch up on work and go to bed at a normal hour. The 3:00 kickoffs are also good because you can do your work early and then relax for the game. I wouldn't mind 1-2 p. time games, and the rest noon or 3:00 starts. What's your opinion?

I think you think about work too much

I love them, because I live in Virginia and refuse to pay the ridiculous amount that DirecTV charges for the Sunday ticket. Primetime games allow me to stay home and catch them on the TV vs. going to a sportsbar or watching them online.

I love prime-time games. 9 times out of 10 we steamroll the other team.

Prime time games are the best. The whole world gets to watch the Saints beat some other team.
And having 5 prime time games shows that the team is one of the most popular/profitable/best in the league.

Leaving halfway through the game to go to work is not fun at all.

when all of your coworkers know you bleed black and gold, they like to tell you what happened before you can go home and watch it. Then you get written up for going on a punching spree.

With those statements, I hope you're a neurosurgeon or theoretical physicist.

Just a lowly third shift supervisor. A cog in the machine.

That's what vacation/sick days are for.

17-7 record against a pretty tough schedule (typical of prime time games). This is a better W-L record than in non prime time games for the Saints since 2006. Interestingly, we are 0-3 when playing on the NFL Network. We are a nice tidy 5-1 vs Atlanta.

I like them. I sleep better after the nation watches the saints dominate.

I know 'round these parts, you're forgiven if you come in tired after watching a Saints primetime game - especially if they win. Don't know what kind of Cowboy country you live in.

What is this work thing you are talking about doing on Sundays during football season? Working on a case of beer?

 

[TriPolarTroy]

I don't work so anytime we play is good with me

 

[KCWhoDat]

Wasn't the broncos game in primetime last year? I might be mistaken.....
