I'm with Davester all the way. The second I saw the OP title I knew who had won. Not quite as cryptic as intended. Also, knowing the score before you watch a game does ruin the experience. The individual goals might be excellent, but there is zero excitement and anticipation.
I do not have cable TV and hence could not follow the game live, but I would like to watch it as if it were live. Obviously people "water-cooler" talk, but that normally happens the next day.
"If they lost I didn't watch. If they won, then it was more fun to watch." Hmm. Strange.
Interesting thread about netiquette...
The experience already happened whether you saw it or not. That's why sports are shown live on television. If you missed it, you missed it. Old news. Electronic fish wrap. It's not "Mad Men."
