Is First Row Sports a good place to watch the game?

Right?! I mean not to question anyone's fan hood or credibility but how can someone be a fan of a team and not actually watch a game for years?

It's OK, you may question my fanhood all you want. I moved from the metroplex over 20 years ago to a cattle ranch and eventually retired and my perspectives have changed and football occupies a diminished place in my life these days. When you become a geezer, things like that just seem to happen all by themselves for no apparent reason.

Do you need help escaping a cult? Let us know, maybe we can help. :grin:

Ha ha. No, my wife and I just live so far out in the country that we can neither see no hear our closest neighbors and, surprisingly, that itself takes up a lot of our time and the internet takes up the rest. You can't believe how serene things are when you have no loud music and blaring commercials or traffic sounds.

your skyline is probably beautifully quiet at times.

I only use first row when really desperate. the site is loaded with popups and you are constantly reloading and x'ing things out. who knows what viruses are being fought off. I use firefox so they aren't attacked as much as IE.

It sounds like firstrow isn't for you. Try visiting family or a friend or even going to dinner at an applebees or outback.

It depends on what browser you use but there are adblock plus addon programs that keep those popups from being a problem. All you have is a couple of boxes (close & Xs) and you are good to go.

Serious question sir. Do you still consider yourself to be a Cowboys fan? And how up to date on the team are you? I would imagine it's hard to follow a team, who you haven't watched a game for in year's. How does that work?

DId the ad blocker for Firefox. Went to Firstrow, and a popup windows comes up saying you have to disable the ad blocker. So much for that. I did.

I grew up with NFL football before the Dallas Cowboys came into existence and when I moved in Dallas in 1961, I became a rabid Cowboys fan. Now that I have moved away from the Metroplex, I am more of an NFL fan again and don't really much care who wins but I do enjoy seeing a good game. I have high blood pressure that is well under control but I do not allow myself to get emotionally charged up as it raises my blood pressure so I seldom watch football or anything else that would raise my BP.

Sometimes you can only cope with something by changing your attitude towards it and that is what I have had to do with football. Life is good, enjoy it however you can.

We don't have TV so I haven't seen a game in years but I might want to watch one occasionally this season, is First Row Sports a good place or do you get viruses there? Any caveats? I grew up without TV so I have never missed it but if there were something of interest to me on, I might consider taking the time to watch it but I am not willing to have my computer messed up to watch any game or anything else. I have enough difficulty with computers as it is without inviting more.

google kodi, genesis, and sports devil.

I haven't been able to watch a game for 7 years because I live outside the United States.
You can question my fanhood all you want but you'd just be wrong.

So you only watch highlights after the game? I couldn't imagine never watching the Cowboys or Lakers (my nba team) live. I guess there are radio feeds on the internet if you don't want to watch the NFL live streams.

No! They have a ton of adware and adblock plus doesn't work... they force you to turn it off.

Yeah... none of this works. FIrst row wont let you proceed without turning off ad blockers and the instructions in the edge article don't work... I just did it as a test and you still have to x out the ads only to end up with dead black space... I could be making a mistake I guess but i did follow the instructions step by step.
