Somebody has things backwards

First of all, read this article.

Next, I'll follow by saying that I do participate in and love fantasy football.  This year, I'm limiting myself to one team so that Sunday isn't COMPLETELY wasted on fantasy football.

The question I pose is:  Where have we gone wrong??

This is getting pretty ridiculous.  Granted, when attending the local Vikings game this year (which I won't do cuz me gots no $$$) I would appreciate stats from other games.  Sure, that'd be convenient to be updated like that.  The thing that irks me so much about this article is the last couple paragraphs...I'll quote


While many fans do follow their fantasy teams on their phone or handheld device, the league -- aware that fans can choose their living room, high-definition television and the Internet over paying for tickets, parking, food and drinks at the stadium -- wants fans to feel connected to the fantasy football experience in the stands.

"We know we have to continue to do more to keep fans coming to our games.," McCarthy said, according to the report. "We're looking at ways to further replicate the at-home experience in the stadium."

Hmmmm...do I choose to stay home from the game because then I can follow fantasy football?  Ummm, no.  I stay home because a football game becomes a $150 afternoon after ticket, parking, food, and drink. Meh...the view from my couch is ok.

**Begin sarcastic rant**

WAIT!!  They're trying to replicate the at-home experience in the stadium???  Ohhhhh man!!!  In that case, it's totally worth it to spend all that money at get the same experience I already have at home on my couch!!

**End sarcastic rant**

When has watching a sporting event on tv been better than seeing it live?  When has watching a concert on tv been better than seeing it live?  When has __________ EVER been better than seeing it live?

If you have an opportunity to go to an NFL football game, and turn it down so that you can follow your fantasy sports, you are clearly an idiot and I will come over and slap you upside your head.

I think the NFL is confused about why people are staying away from their games...before the economy hit the crapper, every NFL team was selling out every game.  It couldn't be that people aren't going because they can't afford the tickets could it??  

So now I'll pose this question to you...is there anything you'd prefer to watch from your couch over watching it live?? Leave your answers in the comment box down below...I'll go first.
