Sweet

Just saw that the Saints game is on TV live here too!
1am kickoff might just watch the first half to get my appetite for football started for 08.

TV coverage is pretty good during the season we get 4 games live every Sunday – 2 early and 2 late.
I guess here they are both late though – first game starts around 6pm and they finish up about 12:30 am.
The Sunday night and Monday night games are on but they start too late so I just record if the Cards are on.
Usually get the Cards at least 3 times in the season.
We get a couple of NFL Network shows too.
So all in all I can’t complain – my wife does though when I take over the TV Sunday nights!

I know what you mean, my wife is dreading the next 5-6 months :-)

Ugh

I lived abroad for about 6 months and I hated going to the “American Sports Bar” (actual name) at 3 or 4 in the morning to watch the NBA playoffs. Never did quite understand cricket, but hurling is awesome!

I love the smell of commerce in the morning

Opposite for me

When I lived in Az I used to go to the Dubliner pub at 7am to watch the hurling and soccer.
Hurling is a great sport – my team Waterford are a bit like the Cards – haven’t won a title since 1959, but we are playing in the All-Ireland semi final on the17th so fingers crossed we can get to the big game for the first time in 50 years.
