He could change one while watching the game. Unless it’s not going so well, then it’d be 2 unpleasant sights to experience at the same time… (X^D)
-Actually, he’d be waiting at least 1-2 years, since the Eagles would be playing an NFC West team when their turn in the schedule rotates….or depending upon previous records (teams with certain records from last year, would be put on next season’s schedule to face off with each other)…. – Ironically, though, he’d be able to see the Eagles’ biggest rivalries (Cowboys, Giants, Redskins) more frequently, being in the same division…so Joe’d have one more chance to see those games, “theoretically”…

I don’t have time to watch a game for 3 or more hours. That’s why I record the game, skip the commercials and only spend two hours watching.

Is football a necessary sport? Obviously not since we never see the president play a game.

nosirrom: There was a time when the game took two hurs in real time (1950s and 60s).

considering the amount of stoppage, replays and determinations by the refs as what penalty to impose on which or both teams…….. Joe has plenty of time to change the diapers of an entire nursery before the end of the first quarter. While watching the first quarter.

Are you trying to tell me that Joe could pause the game to change a diaper? Or, alternatively, record the game to watch it later?

Observer fo Irony: At least not since Kennedy, and that in a modified form. Theodore Roosevelt threatened to criminalize it unless certain safety measures were taken; maybe we should revisit that idea..Night-Gaunt49: Be patient enough to see it entered and delete any extras at that time.

I realize I’m not in either camp… vehemently against having kids, and watching any sport seems like a boring waste of time. But come on… could there really be any parent who feels a diaper change is a once-in-lifetime opportunity?? Seeing a child’s first step, sure. Dealing with post-digestive processes bleeych!
