Bill from NYC Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 To paraphrase that great commercial ... "Son, I don't have all the answers. But everything you need to know about life, you can learn by following Daddy's favorite NFL team ..." 431786[/snapback] Never mind that. Are we going to get an ode this week?
SouthernMan Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 anyone?anyone? 2:30 Sunday afternoons. 430506[/snapback] Can't believe nobody's come up with the solution. It's simple... You have a dish installed at the arena and then run some RG6 cable to a convenient area in the corner bleachers. Bring a small portable TV, your satellite box, and remote. Set the TV up on the bleacher in front of you and enjoy. Since your kid's father isn't coaching the team, the boy will probably only get about 1 out of every 5 shifts anyway. When he finally gets a chance to skate, give him a little wave and a golf clap as he goes by, then yell to him to "pay attention, dig in the corners, get the puck, pass the puck, or hustle". You could maybe even get it recorded on a cheap tape deck and give some arena kid a quarter to play the sound bytes when your kid skates pass the blue line. Remember, you'll be in a far away corner, so chances are pretty good he won't skate by you much at all. See, now you've covered your personal Bills needs and attended to his emotional needs. So your not the most attentive dad, it's more than my old man ever did and look how good I turned out!
don_of_manhattan Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Before looking at your post , I know that they are at 1 pm on Sundays - that's just how life works. My daughter plays soccer and those games often conflict with Bills games. When I first started showing up, all of my fellow parents were surprised to see me because I usually don't do stuff during the Bill's games and everyone knows that - but I can't miss my sweetie playing soccer - so I tivo the game and make everyone swear not to tell me the score. It has worked pretty well so far.

When my kids start playing sports, I'll be there and Tivo the Bills games. But god I still hope they don't play soccer.
