Things to do while waiting for Friday Night Footy to start..
Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2010 11:29 pm* Sit there and nod enthusiastically and think to yourself "yeah, I might do that project they just showed on Better, Homes and Gardens". Don't pretend you're actually going to do it - remember, it's the thought that counts. Seriously, do any footy fans really watch that show before the game starts?
* Walk the dog. Better to do that than kick it out of frustration while you wait for the footy to start.
* Kiss the kids goodnight, because they won't be able to stay up and watch the footy - it finishes too late.
* Talk to the missus. She'll appreciate it. Hey, you, she might be so impressed, she'll suggest a quickie. That'll kill five minutes! What to do with the rest of that time? Read on...
* Reflect upon the good ol' days when Friday Night Footy was live. Exactly how long ago was that?
* Ring up the broadcasting network every minute, asking them what time the footy's on. When they tell you, say "Oh, I thought it was live tonight". If you're watching a regional network, they won't have someone on the desk but an answering machine - that's a heck of a lot of messages on Monday.
* Read the Sports Digest that Marty McFly gave you for your birthday and put some bets on.
* Email the AFL and ask why the tv rights don't have provision for live football on Friday nights. Doesn't the NRL have life footy on Fridays?
* Sit on the couch, Al Bundy style, while sniffing the lovely foot odour that is drifting from your planks after a hard day's work.
* Start a list of companies who advertise during both Better Homes and Gardens and Friday Night Football and plan a boycott. Don't post talcum powder in envelopes as part of your protest, I repeat, don't post talcum powder in envelopes as part of your protest. It ain't going to end well.
* Whinge and whine about the delayed telecast of Friday Night Football, the supposed most important football timeslot across the nation on SA Footy. Now that, really is a productive way to spend your Friday night.
