I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.

What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

    I’m from the UK and the bombardment of adverts you guys have in sports has always been ridiculous, but it’s getting even worse.

    Anytime there’s a break in play, they’ll bring up an ad at the side of the screen. And literally everything has a sponsor. They’ll show footage of a previous game and tell you it’s brought to you by Dunkin’ Donuts, or something.

      Watching the superbowl on the bbc its always funny how much time the broadcast spends in the studio, because they can only show so many ads on uk tv.

      Every single break in play!

      How the fuck a 60 minute game can take 3+ hours to play is beyond me.
