Not seeing the score all the time.

I miss NOT seeing the score, except when they went to commercial break. I hate it today that they have the score, down, quarter etc. on my T.V. screen. It's annoying. I don't know if there is anything about the old days I miss.MatthewToy wrote:Not seeing the score all the time.
Not smoking and can still happen today, but from when I was a kid ... First game I ever went to, in the Kingdome, I'm a little kid loving that I'm watching football and all of a sudden I'm drenched with beer. Turn around and guy behind me is wobbling around and then blacks out and falls face first to the ground. I laughed and wasn't really bothered by the beer - I was just happy watching football. My mom on the otherhand, was not happy. Though we laughed about it on the drive home.JuggernautJ wrote:I don't miss cigar and cigarette smoke at the games.
I remember choking and burning, watery eyes as a 10 year old kid surrounded by "smoke stacks" at Kezar.
I remember growing up in Pittsburgh in the 70's we would mute the TV and listen to Myron Cope call the game on the radio. I guess one person here still does that but do others still do that and listen to their local radio guy? I do believe the radio call is always much better than the TV call of the game.MatthewToy wrote:I also don't miss the live TV or radio delays. When I was a kid the local radio play by play was in sync with the TV broadcast. Now? Not so much.
We used to sometimes do the same thing back in the day here in Buffalo with Van Miller. Myron Cope was to Pittsburgh as Van Miller was to Buffalo.I remember growing up in Pittsburgh in the 70's we would mute the TV and listen to Myron Cope call the game on the radio.
