I was a little overwhelmed this weekend, so I wasn’t able to watch the KU-MU game until Sunday, a day late.
I was talking to my friend Stephen about how great DVR is. I extolled the benefits of watching sports on DVR, so long as you don’t run into someone who spoils the result.
We talked about watching sports games well after they start, compressing the game into a much smaller time frame as a result. So, if kickoff is at noon, you start watching at 12:30.
Stephen was cool with this idea with one exception: you can’t do this with your favorite teams.
He had a great argument. If you start watching a Chiefs’ noon kickoff at 12:30, you will likely cheer when your team makes a great play – in DVR time. However, the Chiefs may have given up a touchdown or interception in real time. So, while your happily clapping away at your team’s time-shifted play, they could be making a disastrous play in real time. Karmic disaster ensues.
