So for the majority of you who happen to not be hockey fans, October 1st starts the hockey season, it also happens to start the best 3 months in sports for me. Hockey, Nascar and Football all going at the same time. Granted, to pull off watching every game and every race you will have to get yourself a DVR and record one of them every so often, then comes the tricky part. You must then avoid all the sports updates and all the Twitter messages so you don’t find out what the score or results are before you have a chance to watch your recording. You must also avoid the text messages from your friends asking you if you saw that incredible goal that just happened, unfortunately you didn’t see it because you were recording to watch later !!  So I find the best way to resolve all these problems is this. First turn the TV up so loud that your wife gets mad and tells you to turn it down, look at her with that look like you can’t hear what she’s saying, she will shake her head at you and get up and leave. Now the tricky part, the kids.  For the first 5 minutes they will think the TV being that loud is kind of cool.  You might have to wait them out for ten minutes or so, but eventually they will get sick of the noise and also leave. My advice would be to record the Nascar race, they are about 4 hours and have a lot of commercials that you will want to fast forward thru. The football games must be watched live. Personally, I watch the Eagles games live and ALONE. This is just a set rule at our house, Sunday mornings the living room and TV are mine and mine alone.  Now this is just a small look at what goes on at our house the next three months. If  you don’t happen to  follow all three of these sports I highly recommend you starting. Get yourself a DVR, a nice wad of Redman chewing tobacco and good set of “house rules” and sit back and enjoy. Good luck and may God bless the Eagles, the Sharks and the #5 car of Mark Martin.
