You text after every play...of every game?  Not calling BS...just amazed.  That's like 120 to 150 texts a game.  Ice those thumbs!!!

 

Every. Play. 

 

I moved away from Buffalo in 2005. Long story short, I’ve move around the country a lot for work since then. I only see my old man (I think he’s 76?) in person on Thanksgiving. But every Bills game, we text. I’ve tried to stop him from texting because I have Sunday Ticket Streaming. So I’m always 15-20 seconds delayed. I’ve asked (begged) him to wait 30 seconds after he sees a play before texting me, but that doesn’t  work. I always know if I get a text that say “!@#$!” It’s a turnover or “holy ****!” We did something good. 

 

I hate it, but wouldn’t change it for the world. (And I ask him EVERY Sunday to wait for the delay. Nope :) )

Okay.  I take it back.  You're not nuts.  Treasure those moments with your Dad...even if it's early, frustrating texts.

I do that with my brother who lives in NYC...I am always worried about seeing a text and spoiling something if I am behind on the dvr (though lately there hasn't been much good to spoil).

I have a slightly similar situation with a neighbor. We both watch Ohio State games on our patio. His outdoor tv is slightly ahead of mine... probably about 30 seconds. He’s two houses down. He always claps if it’s a good play. This relaxes me as I watch but it’s also disarming because its always the exact same clap - could be a TD or a simple 1st down. Just a little clap. Whereas i scream “hell yeah” etc. So I never really know it’s anything other than positive in some way. Likewise if it’s a bad play there is just silence. No yelling. No swearing. I just await the outcome in fear. This has started ruining games for me, and I need to watch inside. Insulated from his passive aggression.

Curse your team for beating my Lions last week!  LOL.
