WOW, this F'in sucks!

[Driven_Phinsane!]

With the start of the season finally inching closer, something pretty shitty just dawned on me...I'll be out of the country come Sept.1st for three weeks visiting friends & family in England and i just came to the realization (yeah, yeah..sometimes i'm a little slow on the uptake!) that i'm going to miss some football..I'll miss the final preseason game, no biggie..BUT it gets worse, way worse..Not only am i gonna miss the season opener which obviously sucks BIG-TIME, but i'm gonna miss the 2nd game of the season as well, you know the one against the Brady-less Pats; this definitely sucks...

It's my wife's family,, maybe i can fake a seizure or something.....

internet has access to everything. Unless the in laws live out in the boonies and computer has not reached their area hehehe, you will be able to access anything including English porn!

I've never found a way to view NFL games from outside the country (Well, you can buy the NFL package to stream NFL games to your computer, but it's like $100 or so for the season, and the games are taped) Guess i might just have to go with the English porn you suggested!

''Pron'' aside, pretty sure you can find free streams online (legal or otherwise).

And if her family is like the redhead's, a $100 could be cheap in comparison to spending a day or couple weeks in captive misery. lol...

Who know's maybe they'll want to watch the games too and you can introduce them to no so shatty English beer and how to make nachos. ;-)

Believe me, 100 bucks would be a small price to pay to get away from my father-in-law for a few hours..But we'll be all over the place, London, Cambridge, the New Forest, on to Dover, over to Belgium and back to London..I'm not even sure where i'll be on those two Sunday's, let alone if i'll even have access to internet or a computer for that matter...It blows,, but i guess it is what it is!

[cuchulainn]

Yeah... sounds like a doozy of a trip. Getcha one of those laptops that convert into a tablet. Pretty handy for watching stuff and playing games or whatnot while traveling. I bought all the kids new tablets before we left for Puerto Rico a few years ago. Was worth it to keep them occupied and entertained while flying and taking the ferry to Vieques Island.

Problem is cuch you seem like you know the tech world inside-out, my knowledge could fit in a thimble with enough room left over for my 'hope' heading into the season...

That really does suck bud. Reminds me of how I missed the entire perfect season because I was floating 100 miles off the coast of Viet Nam. As has been mentioned, there are ways for you to still enjoy the games so look into them and hopefully you find a solution.

[Driven_Phinsane!]

Shit D, i remember you telling me once that you missed the 72 season serving in Nam..Now that sucks on so many levels and makes me feel like an ass that i'm whining about missing a couple of games!

[Dolfan1]

LOL, no worries bud. It was a long time ago and I'm way over it. Still hope you can get to see the first 2 games.

[Driven_Phinsane!]

Knowing you D, it's probably taken you longer to get over missing the perfect season than it took you to get over Nam!...I'd definitely like to catch those two games, especially since they're at the beginning of the season where we ALL still have hope, but if not you guys'll just have to update me when i return...
