What did you watch instead of the Pro Bowl last night?…
Posted on February 1st, 2010 by Mike under NFL, television
Truthfully, I turned on the game briefly - just long enough to get a sense of Mike Tirico blase approach to commentating such an abomination of a football game, which was funny.
After that fleeting tune-in (don’t count me in the tune-in numbers, Nielsen folks), I watched The Fantastic Mr. Fox (1:20 movie; so, roughly an 1:18:56 more time invested than the game) and Big Love (Happy to see that the show is not going with the Ben’s Alt-Christian band storyline, but rather him mired in a good old fashion seduction with Margene).
Smokey & The Bandit was also on - if I hadn’t already seen it six times…
Anyone else catch anything good last night while they were skipping the game? Because unless your name is Tirico you probably watched something good while skipping the game - I’m sure Gruden checked out and had the engineer pipe Burt Reynolds and Sally Field on HBO Comedy into the booth on his monitor at the beginning of the third quarter.

I watched Lost season five on DVD. Trying to cram in as much before the season premiere on Tuesday.

I watched Arrested Development on Hulu.

I tried to theoretically map out how much time of my life I’d have to dedicate to watch all of “Lost” and be caught up with the rest of the world WITHOUT quitting my job. Unfortunately, it’s not physically possible.

Excellent! If I could write like this I would be well chuffed. The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Net. Keep it up, as it were.
