I am watching the game. It's a passable excuse to drink beer and relax. My wife is actually a much bigger football fan then I am, so she enjoys it.
What about you? You watching? Who are you rooting for? If you are not watching, are you adamantly oppose?
These days it's increasingly more difficult for me to care about sports on any level, I enjoy playing but caring about other people playing is hard. However, it is always interesting to see the best people at any given task performing it.
Spring Training Countdown. Meriadoc, galen (you seem to enjoy baseball?)...uhm. I think that's it. I do like sports, not huge into football but baseball is my "American Pastime".
I AM SO EXCITED. Our tickets are so hot, our ticket booth caught fire
Although, until then, it's full on hockey time. Sharks will consume my time.
Countdown is based on a February 18 opening date. It will be revised when an official date is published by Major League Baseball.
get on ittttt Though really they were right it is the 18th. Cardinals report the 19th and I obviously don't care about anyone else. I do care about the competitive advantage the Cardinals are losing by reporting a day late though.
Definitely thought Katy Perry's tiger was a lion. Anyone else have no interest at all in football?
I was on about the same page. I can't believe people actually get emotionally involved in watching.
Many hobbies and interests are confusing to people who do not participate in them. Every person is different.
That makes sense. I did enjoy watching this year as there was no one to yell in my ear about the game or get legitimately pissed off when their favorite team loses.
Me! I've had three beers, four slices of pizza, seven wings, chili, a brownie, and more. There's about twenty of us here having a good ole time. I love the Superbowl. Go Hawks.
Man, the gym was so empty today I had the sauna all to myself. They should do whatever this thing is every weekend.
FUCK WHAT YOU'RE HEARING THIS IS THE BEST HALFTIME SHOW EVER
I've got it on in the background at work while I read through the Sunday Paper. In a minute I'll probably mute a commercial and forget to turn it back on for an hour. We'll see.
You're supposed to watch the commercials and mute the game silly.
Even godaddy went for serious and somber ad this year. So weird. Edit: I'm calling it. Squarespace wins for pure randomness and Jeff Bridges. Don't mess with Jeff Bridges, you adorable children, fatherhood, and love.
So. Much. Love. It's kinda nice. But... Yeah I'm not sure yet. I wonder what affect it's having on large loud superbowl parties. Some of these have been really emotional. Not really the vibe I go for during violent sporting events and drunk parties.
We are streaming it and there are no commercials. Bummer.
I was thinking about whose tits I least want to see since it occurred to me I have no idea who plays at the half so I bet it's someone disastrous. Like Aerosmith, or some large rapper. I think maybe I'd rather die. EDIT: I'm in the clear, guys!
It's Katy Perry (and Lenny Kravitz) . Your safe with your tit dreaming... This year.
Well, I've got a temporary filling, which does not fit my bite and the area around the tooth is a bit achy, but not too bad; thanks for asking! Soft foods, lots of ibuprofen and no hard knocks to the mouth. This week, I get the post put in and the week after that, the permanent crown. I'm glad modern dentistry is what it is, but man, it still sucks. I can't imagine having one of these done in my dad's day . . .
Happy Junk Food Thanksgiving everybody! Edit: I hate these commercials. Thinly veiled fascades. My sister and I have been deconstructing each and then guessing what they are. "dog! Farm! Rough and tumble white guy comes out next to horse stable! Survey says: budweiser!" *ding ding"
I used to get all bent out of shape when commercials exploited deep emotions for crass purposes ("be a good dad! Buy our useless fucking car!"). Then I went on facebook and realized that new marketing amounts to, "hey, I noticed you mentioned girdles in your totally private e-mail. Here's a shitty picture of a girdle. Buy it." Now I appreciate the fact that ad men at least have to employ some artistic sense to shill their shit. Dying art form, that. I've never mentioned girdles in an e-mail, for the record
That dove commercial was almost a good commercial. Almost. But no. Dove men's skin care products do not make dad's stronger. Sorry.
We were hoping that last car commercial would have a plot twist and become a Dove commercial.
I was just saying there seem to be a lot of touching dad commercials. Even budweisers toned down their douchebaggery commercials the last few years. Man. What the fuck. That last one was about kids dying. Give me beer. Give me tits. What happened?
Another Nissan? ... No its an army propaganda commercial ... No its Toyota! This is the year of the dad apparently.
All I want is a car that can get a boner which is apparently a Fiat. Also I'm winning for most politically incorrect joke at this party.
I got drunk and watched watchmen and house instead... I just checked the end scores after it was over...
I love football. I love the Super Bowl. I love the Buffalo Bills. I hate the New England Patriots. This Super Bowl was utterly devastating. Fuck you Brady, fuck you Belichick, FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
The halftime was pretty good though.
Football and violent sports in general don't really appeal to me, to be honest. The controversies surrounding domestic violence in the NFL is something that bothers me also. Football players making millions of dollars, while I struggle to pay rent doesn't appeal to me: It's all a distraction. The NFL is considered a "non-profit" -- can you believe that!? How can anyone in their right mind stand behind this? I don't support the NFL, NHL, NBL, or anything like that. These people are banking billions from my tax dollars. The system in place to even watch sports is also a bit worrying. It's a slippery slope. I need a flat screen TV with HD reception to watch the game. I have to pay the electricity the TV consumes to watch the game. Which later translates to more money out of my pocket. Then, there's the snacks, and pizza, and drinks... The cycle keeps cycling, the machine keeps machining. We live in Rome, and this is the Colosseum.
Well, if you're going to watch one football game a year, I suppose that was a good one to choose. Quite the ending! Congrats scrimetime
Not into it. Into it for the food, really. checked out IRC to see if anyone was as lame as I am, but no. Anyway, this year, the right food wasn't made (at the behest of some of the participants) so I hung out with the family for the first half and started casually disappearing for the second. Now I'm looking for something productive-feeling to do, without it actually being too productive. I need a fancy-shmancy unlined book, preferably hand-bound, and I don't have one. Copying things over by hand would be just enough work without any required brain.
I'm watching. My parents are rooting for the seahawks, but I am rooting for the Patriots, silently though. We aren't having a party at all though, just the three of us. Mostly I'm watching it so I will know what everyone is talking about as I don't care too much about this game.
I'll give you a live update from the Pabs Perspective: >there were footballs and sometimes they were in the air and on the ground and in a hand
Check back here incase something new comes up!!!!!
I'll tune in for Katy Perry, because she's FAB. otherwise i'm watching twitch streams instead.
I'm watching! I too enjoy playing sports far more than watching, and had actually planned not to watch today (due to the deflation debacle (which I refuse to call deflategate), my hatred of Tom Brady, my hatred of the Seahawks, etc.). However. Earlier today I was caught in a conversation about the game and made a score prediction. So now I have to watch just to see if I'm right, and it also happens to be a good excuse to consume copious quantities of guac.
