Is it normal?

Is it normal for those of you who play video games, to play them in all your free time, all day, every day only to stop to eat, for bathroom breaks, and to sleep unless football is on of course.

That's the norm for me unless someone actually wants to throw the football or play a pickup game.

Is it similar to an addiction for you? Doesn't it make you tired? Does it effect your relationships?

Not really.. I do some house work and clean up,do p90x then just play games.. I don't do it because im addicted.. I do it because I can't find anything else to do. Relationship wise.. I dunno .. had a bad one a year or so ago so I haven't even tried to look again since then so I don't really remember.

I think it's a generational thing. I've never played video games, couldn't tell the difference between a PS, XBox and whatever else there is out there. I have a couple nephews, one of which plays all the time, and he has grade issues at school. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but if he were my kid the games would put away until the grades came up.

I don't know, I just see the draw. I can find so much more to do with my time...

I will say this about them, they improved the poo out of my hand-eye coordination. Kids that play sports .. most of the better players play video games.

Addicted? No

Makes me tired? No

Does it effect my relationship? No

I played A LOT of video games during college. I worked 20-30 hours a week and graduated with triple major and 3.4 GPA and while in serious relationship. Video games and drugs are not the same even tho some people making it out to be.

      AI Analysis on ideal round to draft certain positions.

      By strato · Posted

      Too much to ask picking in the middle of the third round. Unless you are historically lucky. Hell you need luck in the 1st to get that.    The devaluation of the position is hard for me to understand when I look at the difference great MLBs have made to defenses over the years.  Defense needs a good QB too. MLB is the QB of the defense.

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      By NAS · Posted

      Across the league.  5 straight years of decline. Deep pass attempts have fallen to just 7.7 per game in 2024, down from that 2019 peak. Air yards per attempt are at 7.7 yards this year—the lowest in over a decade. Overall passing yards per game have tanked too, from 496 in 2020’s early weeks to a  403 in 2024.    This trend is a result of defenses playing with two-high safety schemes designed to prevent deep passes, forcing offenses to seek yards after the catch on shorter throws.  Two-high safety calls are everywhere now—up from 44% of dropbacks in 2019 to 63% in 2024—forcing QBs to take shorter throws instead of risking picks on bombs. Add in more presnap disguises, faster pass rushes (QB pressure up to 30.1% of dropbacks), and lighter, quicker D-linemen, and it’s a nightmare for deep shots.    Offenses have adapted with emphasizing power run games to counter deep coverage and fast but leaner pass rushers.  Rushing attempts per game are up to 27.9 per game average with top teams significantly in the 30+ attempts.  QBs are emphasizing more short and intermediate throws so that the few deep passes they attempt have a higher completion percentage overall than in years past.    So to everyone who is frustrated with lack of deep passing, it’s all cyclical and right now emphasis on the run and taking more calculated shots is the way to go.
