Super Bowl

Anyone here NOT watching the toilet bowl tonight besides me? Going on 15 years for me!

I won't be watching either. Total Stupidity to be paid Millions of dollars to chase a ball around a field, and then think that your opinion is more important than mine. Just because you are rich. I hate them all, Sport entertainers, politicians and singers that think they can dance, but not play an instrument.

I have to sit through it, at least moderately so.

Wife is a career cosmetologist, and she watches it to conversationally interact with her post game clients.

I dread it every year.

But she makes me hot bean dip, and Rosetta cheeses dip. Both with crumbled ground beef and Frito Scoops.

So I obey.

I've NEVER watched any Super Bowl or any sports in general. If they got paid a teacher's salary and were competing for their 'Christmas Bonus' then I might be interested........

This will be my 58th year of not watching

.

i as well.

Same

I am currently down with a cold and didn't even go to the CMC swap meet today, so I will watch it for the commercials, my wife always does just for them...LOL..

My wife never got into sports until years ago when I explained to her about football and ofcouse the eagles won! And she enjoys baseball too!So I created a sports fanatic lol!We're gonna have lime torila chips with 3 different mexican shredded cheese blend,chips and salsa for lunch.And Mondavi red wine.For dinner we're having filet mignon wrapped in bacon..it was on sale thank God.We talked about the team we hated more and it was the chefs lol the 49ers:Dso we we'll be rooting for the 49ers.

It'll be on in the background at our local pub. Everyone is bringing something to eat so we'll go and and have a good time with friends....couldn't care less about the game(or Taylor Swift!)

Watching

Go Cowboys!

I had a few football cards when I was a kid. On the back side they always noted what the players did for work in the off-season. "Runs a car wash", "Sells insurance", etc.

NOPE: Just to much darn Hyp about it for days now.
As if our country couldn't survive without it.
Unlike so many people these days, my memory isn't short.

I don't watch too much tv in general, but there are a few events I make time for. The Super Bowl is one of them, although I almost never watch any of the regular season. As a marketing major in school, it was always interesting to see what Madison Avenue drummed up for us each year. Granted. most years the games were lopsided enough to make it a non-event, but it seems I've always had some friends having a party so it was always more about spending time with them than actually giving a flying flip about the game.

I think the Lions are going to beat them. Billy Sims will run all over their defense and Gary Danielson is throwing well. With Doug English right in the middle protecting Gary he looks to have a good game.

You guys don't know nothin' - the Yankees are gonna sweep the series !

Personally I couldn't care less about the Wine & Cheese bunch playing against the Swifties.
I don't care about football at all, especially since the kneeling BS, but I watch for clever commercials.

No way! The yankees don't have the bullpen!

Shhhhh their playing Frank Sinatra with video.lol!.I did it my way...Yes it was my way...

Actually, I would like to watch the game but I don't subscribe to the right network and I don't have cable. Football is like watching Graveyard Cars. There can be some watchable moments but on balance it is best watched with the sound down.

Not me, binge watching the 2nd season of Reacher.

… And now, the end is near
And so I face that final curtain
My friend, I'll make it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
… I've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
And more, much more
I did it, I did it my way

I'll be on Moparts. Then move on to some other place on the internet. Won't see any sports on TV around here, unless it is racing, and even that would be pretty unusual.

My wife will be watching some old reruns of some old show.

I don't need to watch Taylor Swift being named the MVP!

Most Vulgar Person?

Stick a fork in me. I’m done.

What a friggin waste.

And that “half time” presentation?

Whoever paid 7 mil for thirty minute air time REALLY got taken.

Dragnet or Leave it to Beaver reruns had more substance.

The Half time stage was close to a failure in the last 30? seconds it appears. I suspect the ending was not as planned in the rehearsals. It looked in the wide camera shot as if the back of the stage platform was lifting noticeably, that is a definite aberration. That would have been worth watching.

back to back champs!

It's good

We have a supplier who employs a person named Greg Landry. If you were a Lions fan back in the '70's (I was) the name meant a lot. I asked, and indeed it was the same guy. He's has to be in his 70's at least, and here he is, still repping.
Here in Detroit, it wasn't uncommon for athletes to work as sales reps in the off season. They used their "fame" to open doors for potential business.

We saw some of it then went to bed.Up this morning and having coffee and watching I love Lucy then Voyage to the bottom of the Sea.Should should help to forget about the game.

Spent my afternoon doing our taxes. Ugh! I hate that more than I loathe Taylor Swift!

Bummer.

There's always next year...

In todays upside down world I think the whole TS deal and her BF are GREAT. Not because im a fan of hers or him, I could care less.... but look... a couple in there 30-s??? IN A TRADITIONAL RELATIONSHIP if nothing else should be applauded.

Go figure, they could marry and have children and IMO that would be outstanding and possibly to some against current twisted so called social norms.

A couple of hours into the pre-game they interviewed Andy Reid and I think the second or third question was about tayler swift. Brother. As if the CBS Football crew isn't hard enough on the stomach, it got worse on a whole new level.

It was at that point I knew I should have shut it off, but, like a car accident......

Knowing the scripted outcome of this nonsense, I plowed forward. Tony Romo's gushing diarrhea commentary from kick-off to talking over top of the game-winning touchdown was unbearable. He might want to cut back whatever it is he's on.

An 11 out of 10 on the Schitt-Show meter.

The best entertainment is the comments all over Twitter X; Kelce's cringe-epic "speech" is right up there

The only times I've ever seen any of a Superbowl game was when friends have had parties in the past & invited me over. There were always a number of us talking cars or music not paying attention to the TV until the ones watching would scream & cheer. Most of the time I don't even know who's playing until they pass around a pool at work.

I am not a football fan BUT..... I watched most of the game and the overtime. Two really well matched teams who don't like each other slugging it out on the field. It was a perfect example of if you screwed up you really paid for it. No, congratulations to the Chiefs.

Most of my life I didn`t really care about sports other than car racing. Now that i`m older and must less mobile I have sat down and watched them more and more. I enjoyed the game and wished they were all that good. I kinda wanted KC to win but it really didn`t matter to me.

Been following the Chiefs since '91 when I lived in Columbia MO.

Lots and lots of disappointing years losing to the broncos and patriots in the playoffs, it's really fun to finally have a good team to watch.

Almost as much fun as trolling the "iT's RiGgEd! ThE rEfS hAvE a ScRiPt! tAyLoR sWiFt Is A sEcReT aGeNt!" crowd. It's amazing what the tin-foil hat guys will come up with. I guess it's easier on your ego than simply admitting the other team won.

Yeah, It is amazing how many tin foil hat people are around.Got to be better things to do than dream up that stuff.

This contradicts the claims that no one cares about the Super Bowl.

I left home around 8 to fill up my car's tank and pick up my daughter, and there was hardly any traffic anywhere.

I think the mature people that have had enough of the bs and left the game are being replaced by ignorant numbskulls e.g. Gen Z, plus the whole Taylor Swift deal definitely increased viewers

I'm not in any way criticizing or making fun of people who don't watch, for whatever reason they choose not to watch. But there's a difference between "I don't watch" and "No one cares." The NFL has never been more popular than it is right now, and it dwarfs everything else. Until this year's SB, do you know what the most watched show ever was? Last year's SB.

Not a huge difference in fandom by age group either, though there is a little between younger/older vs. middle age.

You're right. I think when I say "nobody cares" I'm just wishing so, in order to penalize the league and players in order to stop the WOKE crap, bring ticket prices down as well as player's ridiculous salaries.

You live in the land of capitalism...Larry. No matter what you do, say, or think..professional sports players (ALL of them)..
are going to get paid insane amounts of money, to do what they do..."woke" or not.

Free market economy at work. They earn what they earn because so many people are willing to pay to watch them do what they do.

And that statement reminds me of what P.T. Barnum said so many years ago!

EDIT: Shoot, I just realized we are in general forum not unmoderated so I cannot comment further

Praying for the Super Bowl Parade Victims . Sad .

And the NFL poster boy Mahomes got game MVP.

Now way he should have received that.,, for 50 minutes of the game he got outplayed.

Butker , the kicker won that game. Not him.
Mixed in with a muffed punt off a receiving team members foot to set them up like giving candy to a baby

“Bread & Circuses”
was the Roman term

I am happy KC won.
The first time I ever visited the US I flew to to Kansas City back in 1995

I'm 62 this year.

I have never watched a Superbowl....or any US pro/college football game for that matter. Only ever saw two Canadian Football league championship games because we were invited to friends homes for "Grey Cup" parties and it seemed rude to decline....

I've never watched an NHL hockey game all the way through either....insufferably boring.

Same deal with basketball...although I did attend a NBA game in Los Angeles 5 years ago while in town for meetings with one of our suppliers. They had arranged a box in the staples center as an evening out for our group and again, it would have been rude not to accept. Spent most of the evening at the bar talking business with a couple like - minded people.

Watched a fair amount of baseball on TV as child & teen during the '70s, because my grandfather was a rabid fan, and if you wanted to spend time with him, that's what you did. He and I also travelled to "Sports Days" (kind of a combination of a county fair & baseball tournament for local teams) to watch games as well, but I never really maintained interest in the game after his passing.

Just not my thing.....I was always more about music & motor-sports.
