The last Monday Night Football of the season just happens to be Christmas Day. The following week, the last regular season week, has no Monday game.

right, but this time of year they play on Saturday, too. They easily could have moved the MNF game to another day.

Yes engaging in socially acceptable behavior of watching sports is a mental disorder. But passive aggressively bitching about how uninteresting you are is totally normal.

You aren't the problem, it's everyone else!

TC let me help you cause youre confused still....

I dont like sports myself, but I understand why most men do. Your uncle is the husband of your aunt and the sister of your mom. He is jus trying to chill and watch the game because its not that fun hanging with your sister and your wife while all the "boys" are chillen.

You sound very young and upset that your mom and aunt arent getting attention. Until you get older and married you probably wont understand.

Im 27 and dont like my wifes family too much. I socialize and say hello but my uncle in law ALWAYS has a movie station on. I always gravitate towards the couch and say whatsup so I can join in on the movie and surf da web. I also walk around and hang out with the fam but this is where I always end up.

Im not trying to be a dick, im just hanging out and see that this is enjoyable vs. Sitting at the table with my wife and cousins while they gossip about bullshit.

Surely you can understand, even if you dont feel the same way. Its nothing personal, the dude is older and jus trying to enjoy his life while also showing up for family events.

The alternative is they just dont show up.

I know thats how I feel.

You have no idea how conflicted I am, as a Vikings fan, about that game. Part of me wants the Raiders to win so the Vikings have a shot at the 1-seed, but the rest of me can't bring myself to actually root for the Raiders.

i guess my first comment was unclear. I'm not suggesting they not play Monday because NBA, but for Christmas. the NBA having already "claimed" that day was mostly a separate thought.

Ok, well they have played on Christmas many times. They even schedule Saturday games when it falls on a Saturday. The point is that they will get more people watching on holidays. More ratings = more revenue. No way they change that. As for players family time, they know what they're sacrificing for all those dollars.

That last point is for other people's posts, not yours.
