Football fan

Written by Sherri Hicks

As a huge football fan, I was blown away by some of Direct TV’s Sunday ticket specials. I love watching football. I used to be a die-hard Raiders fan, but a man can only take so much disappointment before he gives up hope. My wife let me get the Sunday Ticket as a birthday present, and it has become what I do on Sunday afternoons. I will go down to the basement after church and start watching football, and I will not come up until dinner time. I am a devoted family man, but Sunday afternoons have become my time to myself. I also play fantasy football with some old buddies, so I am able to keep up with how my fantasy players are doing as well. What I love about Sunday Ticket is that you have access to every game, no matter where you are in the country. Usually television stations will play games regionally, and living on the east coast I never get to watch my Raiders. Having Sunday ticket has changed that. I never watch commercials because there are so many games on that there is bound to be a game playing even if the game I am currently watching is in a timeout. As I said, watching every game is awesome for a football fan such as myself.
