PRE-SEASON FOOTBALL
Eric’s team had the ball on the 15 yard line. 4th down and 4 yards to go. They were going to go for the field goal for the win.
Snow. No picture.
Eric thought this better not happen during the regular season.
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
Grrrrrrrrrrrr
That would SUCK Big Time!
But lets hope that it doesn’t eh?
Loved your 55 My Friend.
Thanks for playing, and Have a Kick SoCals Ass Week-End!
Go Warriors!!!
Indeed it would. Thanks game starts in less than an hour. I gotta get my ass outta here LOL
yeah, cause the tv might get the boot or whatever i oculd get my hands on…lol. nice 55 thom!
Oh I so agree with you
LOL Thanks my friend 
how many times has that actually happened? 55!!
With our cable provider…plenty believe me
LOL 
love it,
I used to see this happen in NBA basketball games,
tie,
one team does score with 18, sometimes 5 seconds left,
most of the time, they run another 15 minutes…
You are so right there my friend
It’s be really hard to watch with a boot sticking out of the screen. Fun 55.
ROFLMAO. Isn’t that the truth
Yikes! That would be the absolute worst-case scenario…and then we’d have to go shopping for a new TV and probably a new window to replace the one we threw the tv out of
Great 55!
ROFLMAO!!! That is just too funny. It just keeps growing and growing and growing
You can never rely on the weather.
Nice one
Bingo my friend
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Football – my heart gave a little jump of indifference! lol! Well my local team in Middlesbrough!
You will need a knife and fork again for mine! lol!
D
LOL…a little jump of indifference…to funny.
This is too surreal — I wonder if the wives who disappeared pulled the plug?
Enjoy the game — lots of that crazy humor going around on the 55ers everyone must be getting geared up to watch the game.
Joanny
LOL I never thought of that. Or it might be husbands that don’t like football and the wife does LOL
Have a good one 
ah – that sucks – we had this due to a storm during the football world championship..
great 55
my 55 is here
How horrible during that game. Frustrating isn’t it? Thank you my friend
Great 55 as always. Over here we can always rely on a rainstorm to see that on our TVs almost instantly. A thunder booms and goodbye internet too.
ROFLMAO!!! Sometimes the same thing happens here. And they call it technology
LOL
Sometimes there’s REAL snow in the picture!
I see football is on lots of minds these days. Fun 55!
Indeed there is my friend. Yup…it’s Football season..HOORAAAY!!!!
I’m not into football, but it is so aggravating when something like that happens during a program. Great 55!
Thank you. Yes it is horrible when it happens anytime
Man, that would piss me off. Can’t wait for the season to start! Great 55. Mine is here.
Indeed it would me as well. I know. I’m extremely glad it’s back
Aaaarrrgh. Reminds me of the Heidi game. If you are old enough to remember that. Raiders. Jets. 1968. NBC cuts to a commercial and never comes back to the game for contractual reasons with a sponsor. Down 29-32 with 1:05 left in the game, the Raiders score 2 td’s in that amount of time to win 43-32 and the world misses it. Great 55 and thanks for stopping by mine.
I’m old enough to should have remembered that but didn’t. I would have been sooo irritated as I’m sure many were. The joys of TV broadcasting
This 55 fired me back up about the major SNAFU I pulled last Sunday. My spouse wanted to watch something and 2 things were TiVoing. I’d read some tweets that sounded like the NASCAR NW race was over so I stopped recording that so he could watch his show. Just found out last night that they’d red-flagged the race with 3 laps left to go. Yep, that’s where I’d stopped the recording. D’OH!
ROFLMAO!!! Not a good thing to do. LOL
On NASCAR races I always add time to it just for the simple reason you said. Hmmm I have a TIVO and didn’t know I could watch a third program while it’s recording two others. I best check that out 
i state i’ll pass on… ahem… football, and the next thing i know you make me comment on it
then again, replace football (sic) with tennis or basketball and there’s a point (bet you can tell by now that i liked this)
Indeed I did. I knew you would. The US Open is on…should be pretty good. But give me Football any day
Wow, do TVs really still do that?
Sure in my world they do ROFLMAO!
Thom, good55.. After ten min of struggle I came to know I have to scroll little up to comment..
I loved the design of your blog.. It inspires a lot…
Do stop by An apple a day keeps the doctor away
–Someone Is Special–
Mahalo my friend. Glad you got it all figured out.
Thanks for the compliment on the blog 
You know, if Eric didn’t kick the set every time he got ticked at the umps, he wouldn’t have to replace them so often.
ROFLMAO!!! You speaking from experience? LOL
Methinks you were euphemizing Eric’s real thoughts on this? Perhaps some curse words were flying in his head?
I like the flash static effect. I think I needs some of that on my site too!
xo
Me thinks that you are absolutely correct
Plenty were flying LOL 
Actually, I’d prefer that screen to the sports programme! LOL
ROFLMAO. Too funny.
Great 55. Horrible situation. I hope you have the foam brick so your TV doesn’t get broken.
LOL. It’s my foot I’m worried about.
