Does anyone else play Madden while watching GB play?

I get so psyched that I need something to distract me during commercials (and occasionally when the defense is giving up major yardage. Not this year though!).

There are three things I do when watching a a game.

1. Cheer for GB
2. Drink whiskey
3. Play a game of madden with GB facing the same opponent

I'm sort of too busy to play Madden and watch the game. So, I'd have to vote no on this one. 🙂

No for me as well. During the ad-breaks I usually check out NFL gamecenter and the Packer blogs around the internet.

I guess I am alone on this one :)

I just hate waiting during the commercials. The worst is when their is a TD and commercials are shown before and after the kickoff. madden helps distract me while i am waiting.

Crushing the team in Madden also makes me feel better when we lose.

i tend to have the PSP going. Madden takes to much concentratio. would either miss something in the game or play really bad!

Don't do it either. Just have the TV next to me on Comedy Central and watch that. The commercials are really short over there, although flooded at you in idiotic amounts. They're quite bearable.

The only thing that really annoys me is Commercial - Kick-off - Commercial. Especially if it's close to a 2 minute warning or a team calls a time-out soon after it.

It is interesting to hear how everyone distarcts themsleves during commericials. Maybe I should have changed the title of this thread to "What do you do to pass the time during commercials?"

I am also thankful for my DVR since, when GB is on locally, I am usually rewinding to look at various plays and can then fast forward to skip most of the commercials. I know the NFL and station needs the sponsers to pay the bills but it is still annoying.

I poop during commercial breaks. I, at times, play NCAA.. but try not too. It distracts me TOO much during games.

I prefer to get laid during commercials. That only works for a couple of commercials per game, sadly.

beast (17h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
