It’s not just a game. Patriots vs. Steelers is always a classic. Remember the last time when the Steelers ended the record winning streak. You have to watch that game..there is no other option!

Yeah, I always like a little Gino and Gil.

Well, at least you’ve got the radio while you’re in the car so you won’t just be standing around a a party wondering what’s happening in the game.

This is part of the dilemma. Watching at the party is not an option. I do have DVR but my dad will be watching the game also and if I wait until after the game, I’ll already know what happened just by my dad’s mood when I get home.

Yes, Slayer. He was probably the only non-headbanger in the place.

Can you DVR it? That way, you can avoid a speeding ticket, and you’ll probably be caught up by halftime by skipping commercials.

I’ve done that a few times; I’d rather watch the game live, but I’d also rather not upset my wife who’s already putting up with my sitting in front of the TV for three hours on a Sunday…

I think that sounds like a pretty good idea for a compromise, you’re even giving up the first quarter. It’s a much better compromise than what he did (3 1/2 hours compared to 30 minutes) and seriously, a Slayer concert?

Um.
The Compromise is a good thing.

And- Slayer??? Seriously??

There’s got to be other guys at the reunion that would want to watch the Pats game? Anyways, like you said, at least it’s a 4 PM start so that makes it easier.

I used to run into that problem but after 10 years of putting up with me, everybody knows well enough by now that if it’s Sunday, regardless of the event, I’m going to be involved in the Pats game. If there’s no tv available, I’ll go with the radio.
