    I thought I was going to shoot myself when the NBA playoffs were on. THERE ARE TOO FREAKING MANY GAMES. I definitely consider myself "sort of" into sports... I enjoy watching PTI and "big" games, and ALL college sports... (I do like the NBA but only the big games like game 7s or the actual finals series). I like NFL because every game counts, but NBA drives me crazy because there are so many games and Mr. Peng freaking watches as many as he can! 

    I actually lost my marbles midway thru the NBA playoffs. I literally turned off the TV and said I CANT STAND THIS CRAP ANYMORE... EVERY FREAKING DAY! Every day 4-5 hours a night! It's too much! We live in a loft, so it's not like i can just go to another room and get away... we only have 1 room!

    How many hours a day of sports can you stand?  On weekdays, my max is 1.5 hours, on weekend days, 3 is pretty fine with me, but after that I start to lose my shit. What about you? What's your sports tolerance?

    Oh man, the Dude is OBSESSED with college football.  Like he has two tvs so he can watch 4 games at once (2 on each tv that he switches back and forth between).  It freaked me out a bit at first, b/c I had a negative stereotype about guys who watch that much football, but I was totally wrong!  I like watching it with him now.  And it's great having 2 tvs b/c we can watch 2 things at once, assuming only one of us needs sound.  He usually gives me the sound if he wants to watch a game on one tv, while I watch a tv show or movie on the other one!

    Miss Mouse - 2 TVs is the solution to all problems. Seriously. Sometimes I go upstairs to watch TV or hulu but because we dont have any walls it is just kind of annoying :)  Maybe I can negotiate me getting sound for my Hulu, if he gets sports all day :)

    Is it wrong that I'm happy we're moving to the US first b/c it will be harder to watch premier league soccer?  I'm happy to watch the Man U or Liverpool game, but 3-4 games a day, plus the recap show, save me!!!!!

    Thankfully, as a Brit, Mr.D has little interest in watching basketball, american football or baseball on TV.  Hopefully his US guy friends won't influence him too much!

    Oh MAN when it came to NBA playoffs I thought I was gonna lose it. It felt like the same game over and over and OVER again.

    Football I can handle, I don't mind that since I love the game too.

    As far as the soccer game goes... the constant blowhorns in the background were what were driving me NUTS!
