Thu night NFL preseason...during the Olympics...

Should I watch it?

I mean, I generally watch the  Olympics at night. I believe the Men's 200 is tomorrow, not to mention the Women's 400 meter hurdles. Yes, I know the live races will be tomorrow afternoon (and I believe school is out), so...I guess I could make room for both, but I may have some significant family business to take care of that may require my attention. 

I don't know, it's looking like I'm going to forego the Charlotte sh¡t show tomorrow evening, and I rarely do that even in the preseason.

Anything good in the Olympics you can rewatch on Youtube and the exciting part is watching the events live in the first place. As far as watching the preseason game it depends on how much you want to watch the WR battles I guess. O-line will probably be a poo show, maybe TE will be interesting if Sanders gets a lot of snaps. I'm definitely watching the preseason live and skimming through the olympics highlights. Friday I'm all in on the women's track

I've got two big screen TVs and three PC monitors. My living room is going to look and sound like a sports bar tonight. 😄

Panthers on one big screen, wrestling on the other (Greco Roman 67kg finals, women's freestyle 53kg, and more). One monitor with the women's volleyball semis (Turkey vs China, US vs Brazil), one with track, and one with Discord and Firefox open.

Do people actually watch the Olympics anymore? I think the last time I actually watched an event was in the 80's.

Quote

The opening Sunday of competition drew NFL-like TV numbers, averaging 41.5 million viewers across various NBC platforms. (That nearly equaled the 42 million viewers who tuned in to watch the NFL’s most-watched regular-season game last year—the Cowboys vs. Commanders—on Thanksgiving weekend.) Through Thursday, NBC’s prime-time coverage was averaging 34 million viewers across all platforms, up 79% from Tokyo.

I mean, haters gonna hate, but Sir Charles, a.k.a. the Round Mound of Rebound, with his somewhat surly self, said that the Olympics are the world's greatest sporting event, and I tend to agree. Just watching Cole Hocker and Quincy Hall dig deep was fantastic. So did Noah Lyles by the thinnest of margins. There's something about seeing desire and a person willing themselves to victory that just never gets old. I'm all for it!

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
