I mean I 'get it', and you gotta do what's best for you.. not a thing 'wrong' with it.... but there is absolutely NO chance I can not follow the game live. Doesn't have to be TV... radio will do just fine. Game updates if nothing else is possible will do but it's a lousy way to follow a game.
Over the years I have HAD to attend various events... like weddings, funerals, during a Ram's game and everyone I know now admits it would be better if I just didn't show up - that because I'm in full blown panic mode trying get an update, find out the score. If I thought the Priest conducting a wedding might know the score I'd interrupt the wedding without thinking twice.
