9. The concert is on twice
2:30 and 7:00. So maybe your choice is whether to watch it live or watch the replay.

With the Ravens winning, of course.

I haven't been able to watch the news all week-- nonstop Ravens talk. If the Steelers don't win, I'm going to have to move.

20. Allright, folks. I'll clarify.
The concert is from 2:30 EST til 5:00. You'll miss the Igs-Cardinals. Any change of heart, Steelers fans?

25. I can't help you, sorry. I'm interested in the Inaguration/swearing in...
The other stuff doesn't really intrigue me as much - but I'm glad that this is such a grand event. I'm just not all that interested in the stuff that Obama isn't part of directly for this particular series of events...

No, there is one other thing that I'm interested in - and that is seeing the faces and/or reading the comments of all of us "regular folks" and sharing what it all means to us. I love seeing the crowd photos - more than I'm dying to see any pop star perform. For me, the celebrated ones are in the crowd, not the stage (other than Obama himself, et al).

If you like football, I'd go with the football. The other stuff will be viewable after the fact, but from what I gather, sports is better live... but it's your call...

Unlike the Giants, the concert won't cause my ulcer to flare up! :P

I don't much like football. If it weren't for the concert, I'd watch news (when I can find it) or even HGTV! ANYTHING but football, actually!

44. for me, easy. Football.
One, I care about football.

Two, I don't even know what concert you're talking about.

Three, I don't have HBO. (which may be why I don't know about this concert)

But, even if I knew about the concert, and had HBO, I wouldn't watch it over football. If I remotely cared about it, I might go to look at it during commercials or halftime.

49. I don't know why it's a tough call on a political forum
The same as I wouldn't call it a tough call on a sports forum for what people are watching.

Just how conservative of a Democrat are you - asking an insulting question such as what are you going to watch?

So, will I see you at the game buddy? :woohoo:

50. Going to be watching both, Life Long.
Not a fan of all the acts, so I'll be choosy. Looking forward to The President-elect's speech today, as well as Tiger and the Boss. With all the ads accompaning the game, it should be easy.

53. Who gets the money that HBO spent for the exclusive rights?
If all you have is broadcast TV you can watch football, but will be shut out of sharing the concert with the high rollers.

Not sure I like that. Selling inaugural events.

Since its not the inauguration itself, playoff football would win every time for me. Even though my Giants lost. :(
