It just gets worse and worse on my end.

My eldest has a BB game that starts at noon. Of course, I need to be there, so I'll miss the start of the game.

Betcha we're doing lunch afterwards so everything will be out of whack by then.

So I decided to DVR it and will watch later that afternoon/evening with my phone turned off and not looking at anything on the internet.

I'm doing the same thing. Daughter's game is at 1, need to be there by 12:30 so leave the house right at noon. Damned local sports leagues, have they no consideration for the things that matter???

When you have a pub in NYC that means you are important. I remember seeing a piece on gameday earlier this year about the number of pubs for different team watching parties. cool stuff.

Yes great email / job.

At first I thought it was the usual...there's a game...then saw the details by location.

Quickly forwarded to several in those cities who are going to attend.
