And look at the narcissicism on display by some of the players. You get all the attention. You get all the everything. Give the drunks their moment.

One more reason I appreciate hockey players. That scene wouldn't play out in an NHL arena.

I chuckled. It's a fair observation (or at least not unfair), and funny.

Individualized goal songs? Jumbotron tributes to a returning hockey player? The administration, progress of NFL games and NHL games are very different, to be sure. I don't think there's a comparable moment in an NHL game when compared with that one lengthy media timeout that occurs in the NFL near the start of the 4th quarter -- typically with the teams standing on the field waiting for the game to resume.

Yes, this would never happen at an ice rink!

I will reject the narcissism take. A more natural, and kinder view is that they players were being one with their fans. As for the singers in the stands (plenty of sober ones), everyone around me was delighted to see the players vibing and apparently singing along.

But no players vibing?

Geez, my reading comprehension has gone to *****. 

My own take is that at the end of the day the most of the players are young men who want to be/are having fun. We’ve lost a lot of that in sports. Less so in hockey, but still apparent.

Formulaic. Many people are aesthetic conformists, especially those who attend sporting events. None of this is surprising. Football has replaced church and these people were singing a hymn in honor of the god of consumerism.

This reminds me of how some hockey schools would hand out sheets with all their chants. It’s like they had the whole game scripted out ahead of time. I wanted spontaneous nonsense, like chanting “safety school” towards Harvard or “overrated” directed at the worst team in the country.

Cornell? Sounds very Cornell, anyway.

This is very funny.

I absolutely am.

Same tune.😂

Sorry for getting back on topic 🙄 but it looks like rain for the Sunday night game in Baltimore.

Good for the home team with Henry getting the ball a lot.

Yup. Killers borrowed a riff. In my opinion, Born Slippy is the better track, especially if you recite the closing monologue over it. Hey Bills: choose the compact disc and electrical tin opener.

Quite possible.

Life can be difficult for a chicken head. Knee pain, neck soreness, esophageal bruising, lack of self worth.  But based on the little I know about you, you seem to be enjoying life.  😀

You know, I think it was Cornell where I saw it. I know a few others did it too. “Here is a list of exactly how you are required to act during this game.” It turns everyone into robots. 
 

Now that’s not to say that the Bills experience is a bunch of robots. I haven’t been there in ages but massive quantities of alcohol don’t typically work well with robots. Well, except this guy:

Trainspotting was a great movie.

EDIT: … Is a great movie.

My favorite movie, though A Clockwork Orange is right up there too.

Love a clockwork orange and Trainspotting. 

However I think it took me 3 or 4 viewings to know what the F they were saying in Trainspotting with that Glasgow Broge 😂

What the hell is happening here? 😀

That was a fumble by Roger's. Can't believe we're still dealing with the no challenges left situation in the NFL.

What's crazy is they waited until the Denver player picked the ball up to call it dead.

Ya, Denvers getting hosed in this one for sure.

[Scottysabres]

Karma is a thing.....

Jets Karma is a lifestyle 🤣 

[Flashsabre]

Absolutely sickened to see the Jets miss that FG and blow a win at home.😜😁

[Demoted]

The Jets went out and got an older looking Vinny Testaverde. Aaron Rodgers is cooked.

I don’t think Rodger’s is cooked. I just don’t think he can lead that group of Jets anywhere special this season.

A great example of how much I hate autocorrect.

Let's get ready for some football!!!
