Watch the football game and tape the skating event!!! Was it REALLY that hard?!?!?! :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:

Of course, I watched the game...I already knew the results of Europeans and there was no breakout performance so it wasn't even worth taping.

Hey RD, how do we know YOU're not really Lucretia, the enraged skating fan? She's probably on the boards. Come out, Lucretia!

I think the guy was being selfish. JMO I wonder if she posts here?

That is classic. I almost couldn't believe it was real as well. Taping is not the same. You want to watch it when it plays. What, heaven forbid, would happen should the VCR malfunction. It's true these people do not have the coping skills most other people have but I agree, ESPN was thoughtless.

IMO, it is 1million time better to watch a FS event!!!

Sorry, but I'm an extremistic Figure Skating fan.

ITA, Gio.
Was there a football game on last weekend? I was too busy being upset with ABC and ESPN for showing Euros at the same time they showed the Nats recap to notice a football game.
I'm a bit extreme myself.

RR - you weren't the only one that was overly upset!

 

[Kwanford Wife]

I have no words.... This is what happens when Jerry Springer guests become fans of my favorite sports...:disapp:

But then again, my husband knows better... KW don't play that...

Watch the skating and forget the football of course, but if you were talking FUTEBOL, now that would be a very different matter! LOL

I always let her watch skating during the Olympics

This comment would have started World War III off for me. "Let me", puleeeeeze!!!

Well the biggest race for Nascar is Sunday The Dayton 500, guess ESPN & ABC are trying to compete with Fox.
Going to be doing a lot of channel flipping here, I like Nascar also besides and of course I only watch for the same reason most others do the CRASHES
