The Gun Of Bavaria Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 So here's the deal: My daughter lives with me full-time and sees her mom on alternating weekends. This is one of those weekends and I pick her up from her mom at 7 PM tomorrow. It's an hour away, so I have to leave the house at 6 and probably won't be home until at lease 8:15. Do I ?: A) Listen to the game on my Sirius & watch the remainder when I get home. or DVR the game & post-game, turn off my cell phone, & watch the game from the start off the DVR, which after I get the kids to bed, will be 9 pm.

slowmoe57 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Tough call but if you can avoid the score go with the DVR -- Radio is too nerve wracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drago Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 gotta go with the DVR. It's the only way to watch with all these damn commercials anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raleigh_Jets_Fan Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Damn that sucks! I thought I had it bad, since my wife is going out to see a play tomorrow with a friend that she couldn't get out of. That has me watching my two year old son, who needs lots of attention, while I'll just want to fixate on the game. I'll just have to get him involved, which is much easier to do when the Jets are winning and I'm excited. If I were you, I would listen on the radio and then watch the remainder when you get home. I am not the type of person who can DVR and then watch it later, since I know that whatever I'm watching already took place. I would much rather know what is going on live.

LionelRichie Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Definitely DVR. I had to pay $170 to change my flight tomorrow from 330pm to 640 am. I need to get up by 4 to head to the airport - the things we do as fans.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visajets Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Id call her around 6 and tell her your car battery is dead. Or that you have a flat tire. It must be the cold weather. Tell her shes gonna have to drive your daughter home and offer money for gas. Lie through your teeth dont miss the game, if you have to let the air out of a tire and refill in the morning.

slats Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 No way the ex can drop her off? I mean, I know, my ex wouldn't slit my throat if she thought that would be somehow convenient for me. Otherwise, I'm a big DVR guy. I'd probably start watching and fast-forwarding thru the commercials as soon as I walked back in the door, though.

HessStation Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 DVR has the capabilities of stopping time. You can go back and fourth with the power of a button. Most cars have CD players that play recorded music from as far back as 80 years ago. Cell phones can be turned off by pushing power, it's usually red in color. My recommendation is time travel circa 1970, Led Zeppelin III on loop with the cell phone off. Again this can be done by pushing and holding the red button. Green turns it back on once the game is over. We'll all have you in our hearts and minds as we watch the game realtime. Drive safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Have a friend or relative pick her up and grab pizza on the way home, special trip for her and keeps you glued to the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbro22 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Smart Phone, Slingbox, Slingbox app, Car Dock. OR, you might be able to catch up on the whole game on DVR before it ends. Think about how many actual real minutes of football are played. Just gotta have quick fingers. EDIT: and sorry for the dillmma man, thats a tough situation. Guess swinging through early is out of the question huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nypimp17 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Your best bet is to tell her you have a prior engagement and that you need to pick her up around 4-430. That gives you more than enough time to make it back home in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 yo peeps it's not the best idea to send a message to your child that a football game is a higher priority then they are I'm sure GOB has already thought of making other arragements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visajets Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Who is the father here and who is calling the shots, the ex-wife? Its plain and simple I will be there at 5 pm to pick her up if thats not ok then you are going to have to drive her home. Treat her to pizza and sit down and watch the game and let her know how important this is to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Can't do the radio. It's like torture, especially on big plays. Watch however much you can watch then DVR the rest. Make sure you have a CD in the car because some dick DJ will say something and ruin the game for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbro22 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Lucky your in Detroit, as you'd probably see me dancing naked in the streets if the Jets win before you get home. Or throwing myself in front of you car if they lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Great News. Old Man Winter has helped my cause and the Ex just emailed me to ask if we could move the exchange time up, since the roads on that side of the state are traditionally a mess. I will be able to pick up my little girl and be back in time for a little pre-game to boot. Now, let's hope it's all worth it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
