I can breeze through it quickly and the level of my aggravation is a lot less than when I have to watch it live and slowly build steam between each play and during the commercials.

When I can't watch live and doing something more important I will just check the score

I do my best to avoid seeing the score if I can't watch it live. Sometimes I

Me, I lose all interest if I know the outcome. I can't watch it if I know what

So you don't enjoy watching the game again on replay as much?

I don’t want to know but what gives me anxiety is trying to avoid seeing/hearing

I like to start an hour or so late and catch up in the 4th quarter.

Then you lose out on seeing all the fire A-Rod posts in the first quarter.

A side benefit of the time savings is I avoid the overreactions on CB.

That's the other thing I don't do much of if I'm watching live

For late night games I do the same thing. I'll set my alarm to wake me up.

Waiting to watch a game after you know the outcome is psychopath behavior

One of the hardest things to do is avoid the score when I have to record a game.
