So, who's NOT watching the Super Bowl?

You guys are not being supportive.

This is probably a very stupid question, but I don't even know what sort of sport Super Bowl is about. Basketball? Baseball? Football?

(My wife always tell me that I would maybe ace the $250.000 and upwards questions at "Who wants to be a millionaire" but that I'd never get there because I'd fail at the <$500 questions).

True, but we're not being non-supportive.

We just DGAF.

Last time I cared about a "Super" Bowl was in 1985.

And the only reason I cared is because I bought a $20 (I think) square.

Ended up winning (I think) $400.

Hello.

I heard my next door neighbor yelling, so I figured the game started.

It's a gorgeous day in SoCal. Sunny. Not too hot, not too cool. Perfect for puttering in the garden. Or playing football.

Go Rams (?)

May the sportsball association of your choice bring you entertainment and, if engaging in games of chance, financial favorability.

I watched. I hate LA, so was rooting for Cincy.

The commercials sucked. The halftime show sucked. And the Ref's in the last 2 minutes sucked.

There was a ball game?

I didn't; don't have the means.

I now have passed through my maiden fandom year. Hopefully I can follow football less emotionally from now on, cuz I'll tell you what: I'm not cut out for it otherwise.

The good thing about the NFL, is that many of the games are on regular broadcast TV. An outside antenna with a signal booster works marvelous in most areas. I get FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, CW, PBS (with two side station PBS), ION, meTV, antennaTV, H&I, Movies!, Circle, Justice, Quest, Bounce, Grit, Cozi, Escape, Laff and a couple of others I can't remember.

A lot of that is old tv programs of the past, but the major networks provide a lot of sports programming, especially college and pro football.

Football is a game built on fiery emotions, for both the player and the fan. Enjoy it. Live and die with your team(s) through good times and bad. At the end of the day, put it in perspective, but in the moment, enjoy the sugar out of it. That's true whether it's high school, college or pro.

Nice! I always buy a few squares, but never seem to win.

Anyway... this year I only watched the last few minutes since I was giving the kids a bath. Caught a bunch of commercials, there were a few good ones but overall a lot of wasted money. Halftime show was good.

+1 to all the above
