NFL Football Fan/Seahawks Fan

[projectorfreak]

-- Never miss a Hawks game. Try to catch the other big matchups, and on a good Sunday am happy to watch from morning to night. Smartest thing I did was get my wife to sign on to DraftKings. We are very small bettors, but now she happily watches games with me. She just had a $1 bet pay her $100. I have her hooked.

I gotta get in on that deal
She very well knows how I converted most of the fam to watch and go to games but if I could get her involved , well oh my
I may get it more often and get to watch games with her
Nice job bro

I am a football fan. I played it. I hope to coach it next season. It is the greatest game. I cannot watch any other sport. From "mass" formations in the late 1800's all the way through modern times, I find the evolution of this game to be one of the most fascinating things in human history. Football has practically become American mythology.

I am a Seahawks fan because of region and family. Seahawks chose me not the other way around.

More of a fan of the sport than the team.

It didn't used to be that way, and I definitely still want the Seahawks to do well; but the euphoria of 48 and the shock of 49 was such an emotional climax that I just haven't been able to care as much since. I love the sport for the sport, but just don't have emotional swings based upon Seahawks results anymore. It feels strange , but I just don't think I can get back to that 48/49 place again. I also didn't have kids yet, and that has mellowed me a tonne in terms of the intensity of my sports fandom.

If my kids have their own sports or volunteer activity on a Sunday, Monday or Thursday that conflicts with a Seahawks game, so be it. I'll record it and check it out at the end of the night in less than an hour.

It's a little funny now, but I am finding my weekly rooting priorities to be 1) my wagers 2) my fantasy team (my own skin in the game) and 3) Seahawks.

But my overall enjoyment of football and sports has probably increased. Like I'll go to Sofi, AT&T or Allegiant once a year with some buddies to see a game regardless of if the Seahawks are playing or not; and annual trips to Vegas for March Madness. Gonna try to see Lebron one more time before he hangs it up.

Go Seahawks for sure! But I can't muster up the same intensity for them that I used to.

Sometimes I watch football between commercials

 

[pmedic920]

I make time for the Seahawks. Any other games I may or may not watch. I do enjoy the sport but I can follow the rest of the games without watching but I will watch if I’m not busy.

Pretty much this.

I watch only to root against the NFC west winner if the Hawks didn’t make it. I root against the GB this season because I experienced really Rowdy fans with GB jerseys on. I don’t mind opposing fans but they were taunting me and my son that made me hate GB. I will root for Vikings and Bills. I don’t like Detroit QB because he beat us when he was with the Rams. I need a break from KC. I was a supporter of Burrow but they didn’t make it. Eagles is another team I like. Baltimore I like because of Mike joining us. I think we may get more staff from Baltimore, so watching closely to see if they have an OL coach we can promote here.

I support my team and the NFL generally but my interest has waned considerably. This is due to the rules changing the offensive/defensive balance, the officials making dubious or biased decisions, players being more interested in their fantasy football stats than their team, and defenders making business decisions to NOT tackle opponents. Too much side show and adverts, not enough sport.

Seahawks only at this point then it's redzone for fantasy purposes. I barely watched any games outside of that the last couple years primetime games typically suck and the playoffs are scripted..ir should I say obvious. I might watch the small market team play til their out but the teams getting the push no thanks. I'd only watch the super bowl if it were a couple of new teams this year. If it's the eras tour again vs some team from the nfc just happy to be there which I expect that shit is not being turned on.

-- As to the obnoxious fans, better believe we have them too. Biggest sports confrontation I have had was after we beat the Giants a few years ago as we walked down the ramps after the game. These two twentysomethings in Hawks gear were walking behind a father and young son (ten-ish) who were wearing Giants jerseys. They were throwing popcorn at them and talking trash. My friend and I walked quickly in between them. I turned and said, keep throwing that popcorn, I dare you. We had our Hawks jackets on, and they got the point. Fans like that are just embarrassing.

Seahawks fan. Then a fan of any team playing against a division rival.

Go Vikings!

 

[hawker84]

I'm a fan of the game of football. All levels.

 

[Chukarhawk]

I used to watch everything all the time. the NFL is looking more and more like its heading down the NBA path to trashville. I Enjoy it less and less every year and almost never watch non seahawks games. The shine is off the NFL apple.

 

[AROS]

Seahawks diehard first and foremost but always been a NFL fan. I love the game, even with all its warts. I don't watch any other pro sport, period.

 

[retro74]

I try and watch as much as I can and will watch all the play off games. I don’t watch much college football (because it’s not covered much over here)but have found myself watching the highlights on YouTube over the last few years

in terms of the SB I’d like to see BUFFALO vs DETROIT

 

[Vanlandingham]

Seahawks fan first, but who doesn't like watching Championship anything? I couldn't wait to watch ABC's Wide World of Sports on Saturday afternoons growing up.

 

[Appyhawk]

I was always a college football nut. Played til I got hurt. That was back in the days when knee surgery was a trip to the butcher shop. But I didn't really care much about pro football until after I had a great time at a one day qb camp with the Seahawks. That got me hooked on Seahawks and pro football. Now its mostly Seahawks and Redzone, or college basketball.
If I want to try to make money on something its horse racing. I never bet on people.

 

[GemCity]

Seahawks first. OSU second.

But tbh, I’ll watch Southern Baptist School of Carburetor Cleaning and Brisket Smoking vs Pakistans National team if it’s football.

 

[Atradees]

Seahawks unless the game is bad and Steelers

Whoever is interesting. Bo Nix and Penix. Lions and Bill's. Ducks.

 

[keasley45]

Played football, love football, but rarely just watch the NFL unless its an interesting matchup or if its the Ravens (family supports them).

Will also watch more come postseason regardless whether or not we are in the mix.

Always Seahawks first though.

Shouldn't this be on /reddit instead?
