How vocal are you during games? I am not...at least not when in attendance. Great plays, TD's, most likely I'll say, "YES"... and that's about it. I'm instantly into the next play.
Watching on TV I'm a lot more vocal. And yes, lot of negativity. On TD's I'm probably more likely to utter a "don't get cocky" than a "hurrah". Celebrations, for the most part, I reserve until the final gun after a win. I've do celebrate occasionally... I went nuts on Waddy's TD.
Basically I'm pretty laid back.... other than body language and the tangible stress on my face. I talk very little to others during games. Don't want to be talked to either.
Commercial breaks, TO's, halftimes, I'm nearly catatonic with anxiety waiting for the next play.
I'm different if on the GTF.... where I try to express what I'm thinking about plays, the situation, players, but I NEVER get it exactly right.
In summary... I'm the WORST person in the world to watch a game with. - JamesJM
I haven't watched a game in person in 11 years but I watch TONS of St Louis Cardinals baseball, college football, UFL, and NFL. If you've seen some of my comments in the Game Time Forum over the years, that should give you a pretty good idea what I'm like. Frank and I used to watch games together, but that's not the case anymore. Sometimes I watch games by myself. Whether I watch by myself or not, though, I'm very vocal throughout the games with lots of yelling, screaming, pleading, begging, crying, cursing, and armchair coaching! I am NOT an intelligent fan, or a student of the game. What I know about football would fit in a thimble with room to spare. I don't care. I'm still passionate about the game. The one rule I have in my house is that if you want to watch football at my house (no one ever does. They know better), rooting against the Rams and being vocal about it will get you an invitation to leave. Hence... why I watch most games by myself.
