The value of football

eve_primeSince I get lots of paperwork done during the Oregon football games, today I decided to “watch” the Super Bowl for the same purpose. I decided that I was favoring the Seattle team over the New England team, and during the game I recycled a bunch of cardboard, sorted through old files, paid some bills, and read a stack of newspapers (except for the articles deserving full attention, which I set aside). I took a half-hour break in the second quarter to make and eat lunch, switching to a classical music program for that. The Seattle team won, but I didn’t pay enough attention to learn the names of any of the players, ha!
In the fall I have football for this purpose, and in the summer there’s American Ninja Warrior, but I need something for February through June. Basketball is much too fast-paced, but football is perfect, because if anything of any interest whatsoever happens, they show a replay. I think baseball would probably be too boring unless I was actually following a team, and that sounds like too much work. Hm.
