Moving sports moments that don't move you at all

[Inky_Wretch]

TBF, it's kind of big deal for the fans trying to plan their Sundays in the fall.

 

[Roscablo]

Except, it's very important.

No big deal in MLB, everyone plays a balanced schedule. But in the NFL, your 11 OOC games can totally determine how successful you'll be. Think the Patriots get anywhere near the Super Bowl without that Charmin-soft schedule?

I think it is a big deal to fans because there are fewer games than most sports and maybe you are planning on traveling to a road game or want to hit that big home game and it is exciting to see when they are. Plus oddities like holiday games and primetime and all that.

For the teams there might be how many games you have at home in September or not wanting those three straight road games in December, but the teams are actually known well in advance. I could tell you home and aways five years from now other than the exta AFC and NFC games that are based on division standing from the previous year, and even then you know what division they come from.

For myself, give me one second to glance at it and I'm good. I don't need a TV show. But people like that crap.

It’s the NFL Draft taken to another level.

 

[BTExpress]

Was there a TV show to announce the Springsteen tour dates, or was the information (gasp!) just posted when it was known?

 

[MTM]

This nonsense.

Brandon Phillips to sign 1-day contract, retire as a Cincinnati Red

Dude hasn't played since 2018 and in all cases, who cares? Should I go back to my first newspaper, which I have a fondness for, when it's time to retire? (Hypothetical, since it's been closed for 25 years).

Agate schedules used to work just fine for that, without all the nonsense.

It's all there online now.

I have never, ever seen an entity pull as much blood from a stone as the NFL does with the schedule release.

It’s not even a day at this point, it’s a whole ****ing week — actually months, if you count the dribs and drabs that come out after the combine.

As frustrating as the NFL is in creating the release show circus, mission creep from it has created the SEC schedule announce show and a special edition of B1G live show for schedule announcement.

I would just be content if C-USA could get out a redone schedule without Louisiana Tech listed as a conference game for everyone.

I'm sure people are waiting with baited breath to see what game ends up being the sixth-tier Week 6 SEC game that gets buried at noon on SEC Network. This is all nonsense. Is it followed up by a special edition of Finebaum? "Auburn's game at Oklahoma shouldn't be stuck in that window, Pawwwwwwwl!"

I could argue all of college football is something that used to move me and I barely care about now because we’ve moved to a two conference league while openly colluding with the TV networks to suppress the rest.

 

[wicked]

College football is still the best at-event experience, although I feel like it's less true than it was. Your local NFL stadium parking lot or NASCAR track campground might give it a run for its money.

I have always liked the NFL more than college football, but there was a time in my life that isn't even that far removed where I would love the Saturday where I had nothing going on and just mapped out the games from 10 a.m. until midnight and didn't leave the couch. In recent times I'd say most Saturdays when I don't have anything to do I hardly even turn on the TV. There may be some background noise, or watching the end of a close game here or there, but it is nothing like it was. When my own team was playing, especially if it was a big game, man, I just couldn't wait until Saturday. It was all I thought about. That doesn't happen anymore either.

I still will have the NFL on all day, though, even if I just have one eye on it.

If you are foolish enough to try for a fall wedding in the South you absolutely want to know the schedule details.

 

[BTExpress]

Yeah, but you're not going to know the times of games until 6-12 days before the event. And we probably already know now when the 2039 Tennessee-Alabama game is.

So all that really matters is "When are my team's bye weeks?"

But then you’d be foolish. Women are smarter than that.

As ****ty as Auburn has been the last five years, being the 11 am/Noon Jefferson-Pilot Game of the Week would be special. Whip up the Bloody Marys!

 

[Driftwood]

I've seen some oblivious people schedule Saturday weddings in the fall and then get offended when people don't come or spend the entire time looking at their phone.

Ha ha you idiot there won't be a 2039.

At least twice an hour during the 2 days of Derby coverage NBCSN has ads running for NFL schedule release . The mosquito you just can’t kill.

“One Shining Moment”; only cared maybe first couple of times. So sappy.

Willie, Mickey and the Duke — and the 30 versions for each ****ing team — is much more insufferable
