Am I the only one who just doesn't give a shit about the Super Bowl?

[DainBramaged]

[woo me with science]

1. Nope. nt

[FrodosPet]

431. I watched it!

And I loved it! Great game from both teams. Congrats to Baltimore, which also happens to be the city where the greatest show in history, "The Wire", was filmed.

It, along with "Breaking Bad" set the standard for television drama.

[Deep13]

2. No, I don't care. nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I'm happy for my friends who enjoy it, but I don't care about it for myself...

[awoke_in_2003]

103. I will enjoy it...

and hope that you, my dear Peggy, enjoy yourself not watching it

[yellerpup]

5. Don't care.

Deeply.

[Zoeisright]

259. Watch the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet!

It's a much, much better show. Plus there's the Kitten Halftime and some gerbils in a blimp.

[valerief]

316. Adorable show! nt

[yellerpup]

328. I paged through the Puppu Bowl lineup

on another link. Thirty-three adorable puppies! I am so THERE!

[another_liberal]

369. The hedgehogs as cheerleaders . . .

The hedgehogs as cheerleaders were a touch of genius.

[femmocrat]

384. They were hamsters, not gerbils.

[calimary]

390. That'd be about my speed.

[Bjorn Against]

6. I have not watched a Super Bowl for years and I don't intend on watching tonight

[cherokeeprogressive]

7. Nnnnnnope.

[southernyankeebelle]

8. Hell no you aren't. I stopped watching them years ago. The Ravens are from my own

state and I still won't watch it. I think the games have become overrated and at the end a let down big time. So I'll be tuning in to Downtown Abbey.

[MineralMan]

9. Nope. You're almost never the only one.

Anyhow, I don't follow baseball.

[freedom fighter jh]

185. Ha ha, that's good!

I don't know whether to say I'm not watching or I'm not planning to watch it -- I don't even know what time it's on.

[Maraya1969]

308. Oh that made me LOL - out loud.

[PADemD]

10. No

Hope there's a good movie available.

[awoke_in_2003]

107. If you like comedy...

The Candidate is in Redbox. Sadly, it is too close to the truth of politics.

[PADemD]

222. Movie

My son downloaded House of Cards, with Kevin Spacey. We're going to watch that.

I did see The Candidate a few years ago, and it is a funny movie. Thanks for the suggestion.

[awoke_in_2003]

229. And thanks for yours...

I like Spacey.

[xtraxritical]

394. I highly reccomend Warren Beatty in Bulworth, funny funny funny.

[awoke_in_2003]

436. Another good one. nt

[homegirl]

439. Never watch

Professional sports have become such obvious corporate money making events that it is hard to watch. Consider football, four hours of hype, bands and above all advertising to play a game that should last one hour. Folks, it all about making money. And don't forget the week long buildup and false suspense.

Yes, there were a few good movies on TV and lots of good books, or relax by doing a little gardening.

[Spirochete]

11. I'm pretty apathetic this year myself

I've never liked the 49'ers, and the Ravens are the team that shithead Art Modell took out of Cleveland, the former Browns, so I hope they lose too, even though Modell is finally deceased.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. No. And I suspect there are a lot of people

who aren't really all that interested but are using it as an excuse to have a party. And that's fine. I will be at a relative's birthday party today, and we might watch part of the game, but at 8:00 the channel will be switched to PBS so we can watch Downton Abbey.

[smirkymonkey]

290. Another diehard Downton Abbey fan here.

I wouldn't miss it for the world. (pathetic, I know, but I'm addicted.)

I could give a crap about the Super Bowl, even if there was no Downton Abbey.

[Glimmer of Hope]

320. Me too. Just hope no one dies this week!

[msongs]

13. a bunch of millionaires running around in circles lol nt

[RKP5637]

58. Yeah, exactly! It's all about $$$$$ - the sports part is a sideline. n/t

[timdog44]

89. A bunch of millioinaires

in a union, who don't support other unions.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

304. In fairness the Greenbay Packers came out against Scott Walker's union busting moves a few years ago

[AlbertCat]

157. a bunch of millionaires running around in circles lol nt

You're thinking baseball!

In football they line up in 2 lines facing each other, yell something, and then run headfirst into each other.

[dwp6577]

288. millionaires in underwear

that's what my dad calls them...and he's correct.

maybe I'll watch some of it

[A HERETIC I AM]

335. A bunch of millionaires with a career life expectancy of about 7 years.

I'm not too interested in the game, but I don't begrudge them the money they make.

Playing professional football is the equivalent of being in 15 car wrecks a year.

[Tien1985]

360. I begrudge them a little bit.

They make more in one year than I'll make in 40, even getting a 3% yearly raise. I think that is a bit much for running around in circles. But lucky them, I guess.

[arcane1]

14. Count me as uninterested, and my home team is in it!

I'm going to relax at home and avoid the yahoos today

[NJCher]

362. thank you

For saying "uninterested" and not "disinterested."

Your resident English teacher,


Cher

[marybourg]

15. 2 here (and one of us is male)

[coalition_unwilling]

16. American football is so boring, about the same level of

boredom as Golf or NASCAR racing.

[Aquavit]

297. pretty much...

The "real" football championship will be held at Wembley Stadium on May 25th. I couldn't care less about the game being played today.

[Elwood P Dowd]

399. And it will probably end 0-0, and they go to overtime or penality kicks. Real exciting.

Much better than that 34-31 boring thing tonight.

[frylock]

434. oh, but the passing in "real" football is just so exquisite..

:yawn:

[Rex]

17. Nope.

Could care less. Don't own a TV.

[dkf]

18. I'm taking Mom out to lunch

[JimDandy]

189. That's a late lunch!

Many restaurants and bars will have it on their TVs, so it'll be difficult avoiding it. Hope you enjoy your lunch anyway.

[hedgehog]

19. I have a couple super bowls -

I especially like the green pressed glass one.

[RKP5637]

64. LOL !!! n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Super...what?

[immoderate]

21. No. Who gives a shit, if the Giants aren't playing?

--imm

[DainBramaged]

29. When I cared about football, the Giants were my team (in the 80's)

When you could actually go on game day and buy tickets. Phil Simms, the cast of characters. Great time.

[immoderate]

45. They are my team! I went to a game with the Cub Scouts. Frank Gifford was the running back...

I haven't been in New York in 20 years. It's too difficult to change teams!

Note: I stopped following baseball when the Dodgers left Brooklyn.

On edit: I also follow the Cowboys, but I root against them!

--imm

[DainBramaged]

66. After the game the group of us (in early September) played cards in the parking lot

till it was dark. What a great time we had. And this was when people had station wagons so tailgating wasn't what it is today. Couple of coolers, a barbecue, car table and folding chairs.


It was funnnnnnnn.

[cherokeeprogressive]

203. I thought being able to buy tickets on game day meant your team sucks and no one is at the game. n/t

[ecstatic]

22. to be honest, I'm not sure whose playing

I know San Francisco beat Atlanta, but I haven't bothered to check who they'll be playing against. Nevertheless, I'll probably fake the funk at a super bowl party today.

[JimDandy]

201. That's the spirit! Give it all the funk you've got

and then give some more.

[etherealtruth]

23. Heck no

[dballance]

24. Nope, and I've been taking a bunch crap for saying it on another thread

The worshippers of the football gods didn't take kindly to my post. Read the replies to my post on this other thread.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2301853

[DainBramaged]

31. Well, you're safe here It appears we outnumber them

[FailureToCommunicate]

255. "Them"? Come on...think of it as good for the economy. New Orleans can use the $$

For a lot of folks down there this is make or break income.


http://www.nola.com/superbowl/index.ssf/2013/01/super_bowl_2013_reverberating.html


Just saying.

[DainBramaged]

291. We're trying to have a little fun here

And I have laundry to fold back later

[FailureToCommunicate]

300. Oh, I know. Sorry for jumpin in.

Enjoy the laundry folding party.

[Comrade Grumpy]

32. Well, you threw the turd in the punch bowl. What did you expect?

And I see you're still going on with your snide self. You like to stir shit and then complain about it. Nice.

[dballance]

42. Well I Can See Why Your Name is Comrade Grumpy

I posted a simple comment that suggested there are other things in life than the Super Bowl. The people who responded were perfectly free to ignore it and go on with their lives but they chose not to. It's my right to refute their snide comments.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

192. oh, you did much more than post a simple comment

you know that damned well. typical...

sP

[dballance]

223. Well It's Just Too Darned Bad

if those delicate flowers can't handle some criticism of their insanely violent sport. And a sport that breeds the types of cultures around the football programs at Penn State, Notre Dame, Steubenville and all the ones where abuses go on and get covered up that aren't in the news.

I saw it through my high school years and college years.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

273. ahhh, the neener neener neener response...

you play the provocateur and then act like it was just criticism of the sport when it was really criticism (and thy holier than thou attitude) of anyone who likes the sport.

my guess is you failed at sports and that has left you bitter with a desire to lash out at those with whom you could not keep up. dollars to doughnuts...

sP

[DainBramaged]

285. This thread isn't about your need to throw turds but you seem to find it necessary anyway

Jesus dude leave people alone

[GaYellowDawg]

41. In all fairness, you didn't just say you didn't care.

You went pretty far over the top on that post. If you get into the middle of a post about a hobby and post the worst possible things you can think of to say about that hobby and the people who engage in it, you're going to get some pretty indignant replies. I don't follow pro sports of any kind but I'm not up in anybody's face about it. I wouldn't have put that link up in my reply. It makes you look bad because you pretty clearly put that reply up just to be a complete asshole.

[RKP5637]

85. Welcome to the friendlier thread!

[ProdigalJunkMail]

147. no one gives a shit that you do or don't give a shit about the superbowl

but your snide remarks and obvious judgment of those who DO like the superbowl as somehow less enlightened than you might be the reason you are being discussed in such 'pleasant' tones.

sP

[Apophis]

282. I agreed with you.

[GaYellowDawg]

25. Nope.

I have teams that I follow in a few sports, and if they're not playing, I'm not interested. I'm still going to a Super Bowl party to socialize, though.

[Baitball Blogger]

26. I can't wait because it means I can break into the huge chocolate chip SuperBowl cookie

I bought at Publix!

[Silent3]

27. You are most certainly not a alone. :) n/t

[Comrade Grumpy]

28. No, but you're apparently the only one who decided to make an OP out of it.

[DainBramaged]

33. What didn't think of it?

Go bash someone else pal.


On edit,


LONG after you and your pals are gone, I'll still be here. So go find someone else to stalk. OH and have a nice day.

[cherokeeprogressive]

40. Ah but the day is young... n/t

[Mister Ed]

30. Oh, izzat today again?

Last time I gave in and watched was when my home-state team (the Vikings) were up against the New Orleans Saints. It was easy to tell that the Saints were deliberately aiming to injure the Vikings' quarterback, Brett Favre. An inquiry has since verified that, but it didn't take any formal inquiry for me to see it. It was blatantly obvious.

I got no time for that stuff.

[forestpath]

34. Nope, I couldn't care less about football or any other sport.

[lpbk2713]

35. I like to watch a good football game now and then

But all the hoopla is really a turn off. I really don't GAF about Beyonce or anything else. If I do watch I'll have the volume way down or maybe even muted. I know the announcers will be hyping their asses off

[madrchsod]

36. could care less...when`s nascar and f1 starting?

[DainBramaged]

38. OH YEAH, counting the days.........

[GaYellowDawg]

49. I don't follow that, either.

I'm pretty much counting the days until college football begins again. But then again, each to his own.

[DainBramaged]

52. I understand

College has football?

[GaYellowDawg]

188. LOL...

It sure does. My alma mater has been playing football since 1895. You're a little late.

[kurtzapril4]

428. Hate football....love motorsports!

Do you know what network/s show F1?

[Luminous Animal]

37. I don't give a shit. It is a lovely day in San Francisco

and the streets will be near empty. A great day to walk around for a few hours.

[DainBramaged]

47. 31 and snow on the ground here

Passed the supermarket, PACKED I tell ya packed.


Spring is when the snow stops, which is next month, and ohboy will I be happy.

[arcane1]

67. It is indeed, and that's a great idea! I wonder if we'll have a repeat of the World Series?

I should make sure to avoid public transportation this evening

[Luminous Animal]

303. Win or lose, there will be massive amounts of idicocy.

It's too bad.

By the way, I just got back from a lovely two hour walk through the Castro and the Mission. It was grand.

[bluestate10]

77. My favorite cities are San Francisco, Boston and New York City. I love the weather in SF.

I love the ethnic diversity in all three cities. I love the old line elegance of Boston.

[Egalitarian Thug]

39. No. I had to look up who is playing.

Many years ago I used to watch for the commercials, but they started to suck after too much attention was given to them. After I stopped watching TV, I found I cared less and less.

Unless the Broncos are playing, I can't seem to break that addiction.

[Johnny Noshoes]

225. Ah the commercials....

I used to work for a media monitoring company - it went bust the end of August 2011 - and the Super Bowl with all of the commercials was "our" Black Friday. All the hype and all the bs over the ads the company made big bucks. I miss having a job but I DON'T miss all the Super Bowl bs. This is the second Super Bowl without a job for me but hey I just keep plugging away and figure I'll find one soon enough. My best friend - an IT guy finally started a new job this past month and he was out of work for 18 months. The woman I used to work with finally got a job just recently so hey fingers crossed and all.

[Egalitarian Thug]

226. Good luck to you. There was a brief time when the Superbowl commercials were

creative and innovative (and probably more effective), but once the hype hit hard all that went away.

[Politicalboi]

43. Nope

I couldn't care less about it. Grown men chasing a ball. LOL! And people pay them money for that. And now with the concussion shit going around, maybe someday there will be NO MORE football. YEAH! And ALL sports will be pay per view. That way NO TV shows get preempted by their shit.

[greatauntoftriplets]

44. No.

I'm going to watch the Downton Abbey bowl!

[cantbeserious]

46. What's A SuperBowl?

eom

[struggle4progress]

353. +

[Mnemosyne]

48. Nope. I can't live vicariously. :) nt

[watercolors]

50. Not a fan of it, going to watch "Puppy Bowl " !

[X_Digger]

194. +1 n/t

[Cleita]

51. Nope.

Let's declare this thread a Super Bowl free one.

[RKP5637]

53. The what? n/t

[peace13]

54. N..o...spells no! Nt

[iemitsu]

55. No, I don't either. I usually don't even know that such an event is occurring

until I get to the grocery store and there is no one there.
The best time to shop is during one of these games.

[lunatica]

56. I will be doing my monthly grocery shopping in an empty Costco for once

It will be lovely!

[sakabatou]

57. No, but my parents, especially my mom, like it

So, I'm recording it for them.

[tblue37]

59. Not only am I totally indifferent to it,

but I cannot fathom WHY people would spend one second of their life on such caca, even if someone paid them to do so!

[JimDandy]

214. It's all about the socializing - the game is the excuse.

[Brigid]

60. Nope, you're not alone.

I've never been much of a football fan. But Go Cubbies!!!

[Recursion]

61. So, clearly not

Feel better?

[lastlib]

62. nope--why watch a buncha idiots banging heads over a pumkin?

[DebJ]

63. It puts me to sleep....the white noise of crowd cheering....

I can't watch any type of game with cheering crowds and stay awake.
Since I had a family incident last night to deal with, that's good....I need a nap!

[Apophis]

65. Nope.

I don't like how this country glorifies a bunch of overpaid athletes who can throw a ball or can tackle someone.

[bluestate10]

68. I don't plan to watch. The game starts too late and lasts to midnight in the east.

There is no reason at all why the game can't start no later than 4pm in the east.

[quinnox]

69. No, I haven't watched one in years

I basically gave up on all sports in terms of watching them for the past 20 years except for tennis.

But recently, I have thought I might start following the Dodgers again, starting this year, because I used to follow baseball and the Dodgers religiously.

[Sherman A1]

70. I don't even know who is playing

nor do I care. However, it has been good for sales of chips, snacks, soda & beer.

[rightsideout]

71. Go Ravens!!

[radicalliberal]

128. Here ya go!

[img][/img]

(Just havin' a little fun. Enjoy the game! )

[rightsideout]

151. Great photo!

They even have a little purple in them!

[tomm2thumbs]

72. You aren't the only one -- !!

no interesting whatsoever in any at dinner last night either, from the waiters & waitresses to everyone at the table

[airplaneman]

73. never interested me. n/t.

[freshwest]

74. No.

[Cooley Hurd]

75. The world will be no different tomorrow....

...regardless of the outcome.

That's a basic fact.

[DainBramaged]

90. Yes it will, the NFL will have enriched itself.....

more people will go to bed hungry than attend the super bowl. More people will got to emergency rooms as a last resort because of their illness because they have no health care than will attend the super bowl.

And on and on. One Super Bowl ticket would pay for my medications for a year.


And God will be given credit for these assholes throwing a ball around.....

[rakeeb]

125. I just don't get it.

One would think that with your engaging personality that "assholes" would be lining up around to block to give you money for your medications.

Like many people who will be watching the game, I will watch and remain fully confident that these few hours on this Sunday will in no way hinder whatever money is spent or hours dedicated to helping those less fortunate.

Enjoy spending your Sunday afternoon judging others, sounds exhilarating.

[DainBramaged]

283. Bye now, run along and piss on somebody else

I can see you've made a LOT of friends here.....

[rakeeb]

411. Just pointing out

the obvious irony that calling anyone who doesn't think exactly like you an asshole makes you appear to be, well, exactly what you are calling everyone else.

You seem to have a lot of anger, the kind of anger that might require more than just trying to work it out by calling people names on a forum on the intarwebs.

[tomm2thumbs]

76. btw TODAY!!!! is the BEST day to get great deals on auctions ending on Ebay!!

*word to the wise*

[JimDandy]

239. That'll make it a Super day for those bidders! n/t

[longship]

78. I haven't watched the Stupid Bowl ever.

I just do not like US football. Not at all.

But if somebody broadcast the AFL Premiership game, I would throw a Footy party. However, I don't know how many would attend. I'd probably have to celebrate by myself here in rural MI.

Go Sydney Swans!

[oldbanjo]

79. Have no interest at all in it.

[LiberalLoner]

80. I've never liked sports. I don't like the idea that those who lose, feel badly.

[rurallib]

81. No - haven't cared for XLVII years

[JimDandy]

220. LOL

[Populist_Prole]

82. Totally indifferent to this or any other sport, and all the SB hype turns me off all the more

I had a mild interest in baseball and hockey in my mid teens but always found foootball very boring. The obnoxious announcers, loud stupid ads, and the incessant talk talk talk about it all pushed me from indifferent to active dislike.

[MotherPetrie]

83. Could not possibly care less about it.

[blitzburgh55]

84. Nope

this match up is a Steelers fans worst nightmare...lol.

[whistler162]

359. Would have thought the Steelers in the Super Bowl would be!

[Historic NY]

87. nope...

going to gym & watch videos.

[Richard D]

88. You mean Beyonce's concert?

[Rob H.]

91. Aww, what do you have against the Superb Owl?

[Apophis]

284. Haha. Awesome!

[alterfurz]

317. Official Superb Owl Proclamation

[matt819]

92. Super What?

All I know is that there's a shortage of chicken wings.

[graywarrior]

93. No fucks will be given by me today about the stupid bowl.

[Iggo]

94. No, you're not.

I like it, though.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

95. I don't even care who's playing.

[libodem]

96. Not only, NO

But HELL NO!!!

[Cynicus Emeritus]

97. Sports have always been a vehicle to keep society bonded and clueless

Even more outrageous...our elected leaders force us build stadiums for their crony wealthy owners so they can have grossly overpaid celebrity players that the public can then become enamored with and worship. The scheme of celebrity, sports, etc is used as a form of propaganda intended to keep the public's mental focus on frivolous stuff and not on critical thinking and how we are being royally screwed.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

136. Yes, clueless...

... to the, "two brothers" super bowl hype(which the NFL has been chomping at the bit for since 2011), trying to get folks minds off of the bountygate. Those that watched the games, at least in the AFC could see how "missed", calls let the Ravens stay in their games, even spotted them an easy touchdown or two.

And then there is Ray Lewis, who should be doing 60 years to life in a prison. Come on Ray, tell us who really killed those two guys.

[awoke_in_2003]

98. I love the game...

(but hate halftime). That being said, I can understand why some don't. Whatever gets you through the night, to quote a smart man.

[Jackpine Radical]

99. Super Bowl?

Isn't that some kind of football game or something?

[Arkansas Granny]

100. You're not alone. I don't even know which teams are playing.

[MynameisBlarney]

101. Nope

I do enjoy being with my friends and eating all the food they cook though, lol

[Kablooie]

102. Oh thou un-American heathen! Thee shouldst rot in hell for evermore!

And I'll rot there with you.
I don't even know how football is played.

eh.

[Carolina]

104. No, join the crowd

Frankly, I think 24/7 sports is partly responsible for the dumbing down of America... kinda like bread and circuses and gladiators in forum. Keep 'em distracted, stupid, and under the emperor's thumb

[Nika]

105. The what?

Never heard of it. I have excellent willful ignorance of very boring games involving territorial gains and losses. Though those uniforms show off men's skinny butts quite nicely.

Have to say one good thing about the sport.

[JimDandy]

232. And some camera angles make those sights

worth watching. (Don't let my moniker fool you-I'm female, single and appreciate the sights.)

[old guy]

106. No, you are not alone.

[RebelOne]

108. No. I never watch it. I am not a football fan.

The only reason I would have watched this game is if my home team the Atlanta Falcons were playing.

[Buzz Clik]

109. I watch every moment of the game every year.

I am not excited about the half time or the commercials, but I love the game.

[Ian Iam]

277. Hear hear!

I enjoy the game as well.

[BlueCaliDem]

110. Nope. eom

[WilliamPitt]

111. Obligatory morally superior post insulting football fans.

Insert rhetoric here.

[DainBramaged]

116. ........

I hope you have a great time.......I have some Top Gear reruns to watch on Netflix....

[kurtzapril4]

429. New season of Top Gear

starts tonight on BBCA!

[Blue_In_AK]

112. No, you're not.

It won't be on here. We don't watch any pro football, just college.

[Hekate]

113. No. Am going to an opera with an old friend.

Aida -- it's telecast at the local Music Academy today, and should be good. My husband says "Look for the elephants," then starts humming the Triumphal March.

[snooper2]

114. Me either, I rather spend my time on the Intertubes bitching about shit

to random people LOL

[tavernier]

115. No.

But here I stand making a dish to pass at one of the two parties I've been invited.

Who is playing? I guess I should know that much before the umpire hollers Play Ball.

[Leslie Valley]

117. Nope, my wife couldn't care less either

She'd rather watch figure skating too.

[WillyT]

118. NINERS !!!!!!!

[BuelahWitch]

119. Here is Tard's take on it...

[Swede Atlanta]

120. Nope...

I have never understood the game of football. It always seemed like a game in which over-sized men who padded themselves, a sign of cowardice, tapped each other on the butts as they tried to move a piece of animal skin down a field. As a gay man I can appreciate the tapping on the butt but otherwise, not so much.

I'm not suggesting the players are not athletes or that skill is not required.....my only point is I never understood the interest in the sport similar to my amazement at people who champion golf.

Give me a game of soccer or rugby (men who don't pad themselves from injury), tennis or even baseball....but football has never interested me.

[drm604]

121. Nope. No interest here.

One thing I really don't get is the people who say they "watch it for the ads". They've somehow managed to successfully market commercials, as if the commercials themselves are a product.

[elleng]

122. No.

[DakotaLady]

123. No there are a lot of us ...

who don't care. I'm going to watch more episodes of House of Cards ... yay me.

[Chalco]

124. Boring....nt

[jonthebru]

126. Where I live the roads and businesses become very quiet.

Its a good time to be out and about, the beach is basically empty.
I should that the game starts in Hawaii at 1400 hours plenty of daylight left...

[DainBramaged]

138. You could go debris hunting on the beaches

I hear they are getting pretty heavily bombarded by the debris ball from the tsunami....

[AverageJoe90]

127. Believe me, you're not alone.

TBH, I live in Texas so I probably wouldn't be able to make too many close friends(this IS football country after all), but frankly, I still don't give a flying fuck about the S***r B*wl.

[Skidmore]

129. Nope, and I don't give one about the entire sport of football

either. Don't understand it, don't care to either.

[Plucketeer]

130. I'm not sure

if I COULD care less than I already do. I don't think a concerted effort at trying would result in any LESS enthusiasm for the SB or ANY football at that!

[cer7711]

131. I Couldn't Care Less

Last edited Sun Feb 3, 2013, 04:52 PM - Edit history (1)

I'll pay attention to the final score just to find out which team God sided with.

[AverageMe]

132. I'll watch the puppy bowl today (3-5pm EST on Animal Planet.) but not the SB

I really don’t care about the SB and will not watch it. My team (Jets) is not in it so who cares. Just a lot of hype.

[datasuspect]

133. fuck that NOIZE!!!!1111

me, chet, brent, chad, logan, and hunter "the kegmeister" and a bunch of other dudes from State are partying our balls off today!!!!11111 WWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!11111

[CranialRectaLoopback]

134. I enjoy organized sports and their championships.

As does our President.

[Siwsan]

135. I don't even know when it starts, but Mr. Roberts is coming up on TCM, now

One of my all time favorite movies with one of my all time favorite movie stars - William Powell.

[caledesi]

137. I don't care either! nt

[Jamaal510]

139. I live right across the Bay from the 49ers,

and even I could care less about the Super Bowl. If the Raiders aren't playing in it, it's pretty much ho-hum for me. But what I don't like about Super Bowls is the extra attention being paid to the commercials. Yeah, there are a bunch of special commercials for Super Bowls. So what? They bombard us with stupid commercials all the time. Commercials have really become a turn-off for me when it comes to spectator sports. It's why I can rarely sit through an entire game, even if my favorite team plays. Especially the beer and the phone commercials....I don't know how much more I can stomach them. I'd rather the networks not go to commercials, and just either continue to show the players getting off the field, or have dead air until the break is over. With all the commercialism, I feel as though I and other viewers are being treated like mindless drones.

[AsahinaKimi]

406. woot!

[harmonicon]

140. Shame! When an owl - or any bird! - has accomplished as much as The Superb Owl has, it should be...

oh... ok. Never mind.

[avebury]

141. Nope! nt

[CBHagman]

143. Yes, you are.

The entire universe is jam-packed with human beings who will think of nothing else for the next day and a half. It is unanimous, I tell you, unanimous.

Now, don't you feel completely alone?!

[Ian Iam]

272. ALL WILL BE ASSIMILATED!

RESISTENCE IS FUTILE!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

145. I don't care, nor do I care about the World Series or the NBA playoffs

Does that make me a bad American?

[El Supremo]

146. Do I give a shit about you not giving a shit?

Shit!

[DainBramaged]

161. Oh poop

[LiberalEsto]

148. I'm with you

Opiates for the masses...

[noamnety]

149. I'm happy it's on! My phone's going to watch it.

I have an app on there that will accrue points if I check into it, so I'll turn it on long enough to get the points for watching (10 seconds for audio recognition). Eventually I'll trade in my points for a lowe's gift card.

Other than that though - no interest.

[mantis49]

150. nope...n/t

[AAO]

152. Big Packer fan, but will only watch as a last resort.

[DemoTex]

153. BTW: Who is New Orleans playing?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

154. The opposite of both love and hate is indifference. Or, in this case, boredom.

Watching grown men chase around a pointy ball, and screaming announcers, has limited entertainment value.

[NRaleighLiberal]

155. Me too!

[Claybrains]

156. Gives me a good excuse to grill. nt

[Cobalt Violet]

158. I don't like sports at all.

So the super bowl is meaningless to me.

[pecwae]

159. No.

PuppyBowl, yes.

[Arugula Latte]

373. How dare you?!

KittenBowl!!!

[sharp_stick]

160. Probably not

but I've got a bunch of friends and their kids coming over. Beer in the fridge, wings ready to cook, pulled pork pulled, chips, salsa, spinach/artichoke dip and homemade guacamole.

Even without the football we're going to have some fun.

[RedCappedBandit]

162. Rich people chasing a ball around

Don't care either.

[DollarBillHines]

163. Nope, but I'm going to the party.

A friend of mine throws legendary Super Bowl parties. I woudn't miss one far any reason (unless, maybe, I was dead).

[napkinz]

164. Of course I give a shit about the super bowel

What's the best thing for neo-constipation?

[Turbineguy]

165. Help!

I've dropped my superbowl and I don't give a shit!

[sellitman]

166. I was going to invite you to my SB party too

Craft beer, home made salsa, burger & Dogs.

In short, it's just an excuse to eat and drink and watch expensive commercials.

Unless my NY Giants are playing.

[rainbow4321]

167. I don't....

I'm dreading tonight at work (8pm to 8am) because historically people call in on SB Sundays...shit, people, you KNOW well in advance WHEN the damn game is gonna be...why not just try to schedule yourself around it or switch with someome, etc...or here is a thought: suck it up, use some work ethic and just show THE FUCK UP FOR YOUR HEALTHCARE JOB!

Instead, they call "in sick". Given I work at a federal facility, I wish they would just make the day a Federal holiday since that's the only time the majority of my co workers make a point of showing up (cuz otherwise they don't get the extra pay) like they should!

[underpants]

168. Good luck to both sides of this much ballyhoo'ed sports ball competition

[sarge43]

169. The what?

[Moondog]

170. Nope. Not my thing.

[bigwillq]

171. Yes

[rightsideout]

172. I usually go skiing during the SuperBowl

The slopes are usually less crowded.

Or I go skiing and leave to come home before the game if I have teams I'm rooting for.

Since the Ravens are in the game this year we got the skiing out of the way yesterday.

But during the regular season I generally don't watch too much football except for when the Ravens or Redskins play but I often can't sit through a whole game. I was never really in to team sports and sucked at them at school. And I can't sit through a baseball game either. Too long.

I have friends, family and neighbors who are really into football and know all the players and details. I often feel completely left out of the conservations.

Now sports are fun if I'm involved but I generally suck at baseball and can't throw a football to save my life so I never really followed those sports so was never really interested. But I enjoy playing tennis, sailing and skiing. Those are the only sports I'm a little good at.

But this year I've been following my home team, the Ravens, more then usual and excited they made it into the Superbowl

So go Ravens!!

[TeamPooka]

173. you are the 1%...that doesn't care

[lebkuchen]

174. It's a violent sport promoted by big money adverts

However, I was a big 49er fan back when the team was always coming in last. I'd like to see some more of the 49er magic today.

[uppityperson]

175. Nope. Pro-golf bores me.

[Wolf Frankula]

176. Two Gangs Fighting over Pig

Why not just cut pig in half, then both gangs eat.

[geckosfeet]

177. guilty as charged

[Little Star]

178. You are not alone.

[datasuspect]

179. bread and circuses

[JCat]

180. Nope

Never have cared about the game and never will. Even when this area of Wisconsin's sacred Green Bay Packers have played.

[Democracyinkind]

181. I want to write something about silent majorities

[onenote]

182. the real question is why do you think anyone gives a shit whether you give a shit?

[Democracyinkind]

423. Or alternatively, why you think that anyone gives a shit about your not giving a shit about his shit

Or, why I give a shit about why anyone would think shit about your not giving a shit about his shit.

[JimDandy]

183. The SB is best when you DON'T give a shit,

so invite a bunch of friends over who also couldn't care less, turn on the game, yell at both teams and all of the umps and coaches, scarf down some snacks, laugh at the ads, tickle your kids and enjoy the companionship of those you love.

Those are my plans (at someone else's house), and I'm rooting for you. From someone else who also doesn't give a shit about the SB....

[MissMarple]

184. Is THAT why the kids are going out to Whole Foods to get good snacks.

It's always good to hang out with the family.

[robinlynne]

186. nope. with you!

[brucefan]

187. Of course your not!

There's over 300 million people in this country

[Myrina]

190. Nope.

n/t

[eppur_se_muova]

191. Nope. Isn't that sometime today ?

I hope so, so then I won't have to hear about it much longer.

[mike200]

193. Hell no and and what gets me are the idiots who just wanna watch to dumb commercials

[DainBramaged]

195. Saw them al posed the best here already

[DainBramaged]

211. Actually, this is one of the best ever, please enjoy it

PS I cried over a beer comercial

[aintitfunny]

196. Normally I could care less, but this year

The home team is in it! Go Ravens!

[Ian Iam]

197. As far as I'm aware, DB.....

there is no legal requirement in any state of America that you must watch the game.

[former9thward]

198. No, there is usually 1% of the population who don't give a shit about anything.

Especially if the dirty masses do.

[City Lights]

199. You're not alone!

[lanlady]

200. trust me, you're not alone

I'm reading a book today, blissfully tuned out of all the hype.

[prairierose]

202. nope...don't care

bread and circuses

[putitinD]

204. nope, couldn't care less

[Tab]

205. No, I only found out two days ago who was playing

and that was by accident. My wife had Ellen on and Ellen did a Super Bowl themed game, naming the teams.

Hate to say it, but I don't even understand the frickin' game, much less how people keep all those players and stats in their heads. It's worse that baseball.

[Not a Fan]

206. Give a shit about superbowl?

No. We don't watch any of that either. We stopped watching all television over nineteen years ago - that included all sports. We just ignore it all. Plenty of other things to fill your day with. If we want we can see some of the commercials later because people tend to post the ones they like best. But the commercialism is why we gave television up to begin with - we didn't want corporate America owning our children's souls. The kids are out of the house now and we do use netflix. And we always kept a television for viewing movies. Our set is nineteen inches and is older than our oldest child who is twenty-eight - some day it will have to go.

[WinkyDink]

207. Not this year!

[Beartracks]

208. The what?

P.S. But I'll watch the commercials at some point online.

===============

[usafvet65]

209. Nope couldn't care less... and that goes for baseball...

..... basketball, hockey, tennis, golf....... etc. etc. .

But is does not include fishing, fly fishing and ice fishing. Any fishing.

Thanks dad for teaching me to fish many many seasons ago.

[oldandhappy]

210. you are not alone!

Another media hyped event. A few serious football fans and the whole media world care about this. The rest of us get a day with very little traffic on the road!

[bluedigger]

212. Yup.

Just like last year, and the year before, and the year before, and...

[Rowdyboy]

213. Absolutely no interest here...we plan to find a nice Italian restaurant WITHOUT a tv screen and

settle down for a serious meal-its an annual tradition for us.

Professional sports bore me to tears and thankfully my partner feels the same.

[Left Turn Only]

215. No

I'm amused when I see people all excited while watching sports. It seems people pick a team for whatever reason and get behind them even though they have no connection to any of the players. I loved playing neighborhood sports when I was a kid, but I've never gotten any vicarious pleasure watching other people play a game.

[Go Vols]

221. People pick a stock for whatever reason

and get behind it although they usually have no connection.
I make a good deal of money betting football and its much like picking stock,weigh the good and bad and put your money down.
I will be watching.

[Left Turn Only]

245. Good reason

That's a reason for excitement.

[Go Vols]

398. 5k winner

[Phillip McCleod]

216. nope

i'm avoid all forms of social media today simply b/c i'm sick of ppl tacking "go ___s!" onto everything. seen it here too but its easier to scroll on.

[AgingAmerican]

217. Its a good way to get out the message that the NRA are lying hypocrites

n/t

[coyotespaw]

218. Why do people that suposedly don't give a shit about things

make such a big deal about not giving a shit about them? I could make a hundred posts about things that I don't give a shit about, but I don't. Why don't I make those posts? Because I actually don't give a shit about them, and I'm not so attention starved that I have to make a big deal about shitting on someone else's parade. If you really didn't give a shit about the Super Bowl, this post wouldn't exist.

[Ian Iam]

267. Spot on!

[DainBramaged]

310. It's something you obviously will never understand

and quite frankly, I don't give a shit that you don't.........

[TheManInTheMac]

414. Exactly. There's at least one of these OP's every year, in fact, at every

holiday, too, and they actually care a great deal; They need these things to say "Look at me! I'm edgy and hip and I don't give a shit about this."

[whistler162]

219. Heck yes.....I want to see the Brooklyn Crows win!

[PDJane]

224. Nope. Don't care, won't watch, can't be bothered with the hype.

228. No.

[Nedsdag]

230. Giants fan here. I will watch the game, but I have no rooting interest.

I could watch Downton Abbey if I want to, but I bought the DVD last Wednesday of this season. I just finished watching it, so I don't have to watch it on public television any more this year.

For DA fans in here, expect another shocker coming up.

[undeterred]

231. The what?

[TexasProgresive]

233. I care about the Super Bowl

as much as I care about the Kardashians. Not a bit.

[rocktivity]

234. I've always ignored the hype

I don't tune in until kickoff (6:30PM EST), and spend the day doing my taxes instead.


rocktivity

[marked50]

235. What? I loves me a Super Bowl of Chili--nt

[AndyA]

236. What's the Super Bowl? An extra large serving at a Chinese restaurant?

It is not possible for me to be less interested in the Super Bowl. With the average price of a ticket at $3,400 it's way overpriced and overrated.

Somewhere along the way, we've lost focus of what sports are supposed to be. Instead of focusing on education, schools and colleges focus instead on their sports teams. Sports celebrities are no longer people we want our children to look up to. They use drugs to improve their performance, abuse animals, abuse their family members, and generally are poor sports about the whole thing.

I realize not all sports celebrities are like this, but all too often the headlines include their names along with the details of what they've done.

It's just big business, taking advantage of people like all other big businesses these days. An athlete who breaks the rules should be out of the league permanently, that would set a good example of what happens when you break the rules. Instead, too often, they get slapped on the hand and are allowed to return after a time.

I'd rather see schools and colleges focus on education instead of sports, and professional sports should set a good example for our youth, which they often do not.

I won't be watching, and I won't feel like I've missed anything.

[TheCowsCameHome]

243. ....or else Limbaugh's toilet.

240. That's cool. My crew is loving Mardi Gras/Superbowl here in NOLA.

Perfect weekend for my boys from outta town.

We ain't rich - still having a ball.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

[OrwellwasRight]

241. Nope. Definitely not.

[TheCowsCameHome]

242. No, and once I rolled 12 strikes in a row,

and we still lost the tenpin bowling tournament.

[DissidentVoice]

244. Not at all...I could care less

I don't even know who is playing.

[patrice]

246. No.

Fucking professional sports, they're not even fun any more.

Bread and Circuses.

[DainBramaged]

278. Sorry

[Isoldeblue]

249. Is the Superbowl, baseball or basketball?

Shows how much I care

[Nevernose]

253. It's the same game I see children playing

Except in this version, we pay them more money in a year than most people see in a lifetime and Beyonce sings in the middle part. Oh, and instead of coming inside when it gets dark, the grown men playing a children's game either suffer life-long brain trauma or declare bankruptcy.

[lillypaddle]

251. Me!

I don't either.

[Heathen57]

252. Watching the NCIS

marathon "Missing Persons". Shows how much I care about football. Reruns are more interesting.

[gadjitfreek]

254. PUPPY BOWL!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Zoeisright]

260. YES!!!

[Pool Hall Ace]

256. Nope.

I used to be a big football fan, bu I've since lost interest.

[Dog Gone at Penigma]

257. me neither - so nice to know I'm not the only one

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ...........nice!

[JimDandy]

258. It's been fun reading this thread. Now time for the

snacking game to begin.

[NOLALady]

261. It's a perfect time to shop at the grocery.

No crowds at all!

[zeemike]

262. Put me on that I don't give a shit list.

I don't even know what teams are playing or where...cause I don't watch TV I suppose...cause if I did I would have to know whether I wanted to or not.

[BrainMann1]

263. Yes you are

It's easy for us to see if someone is not a fan, sorry.

[johnp3907]

264. I hate football.

A Russian NHL player said it best a few years ago: "I don't understand. Every 5 seconds the whistle blows and they stop play."

[Milliesmom]

265. Not interested

A non event in my life.

[peace frog]

266. Don't watch, don't care

Not missing a thing.

[Raine]

268. I don't give a shit either. nt

[Ian David]

269. Gonna watch The Puppy Bowl and maybe some Star Trek Voyager. n/t

[LeftInTX]

270. It's the best time to go grocery shopping

I'm not a sports person.
The only time I've watched the Super Bowl was when the Packers played.

[DainBramaged]

289. AND the movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RebelOne]

271. I am watching the Puppy Bowl. Not as violent as the Superbowl.

At least the puppies are cute.

[Clouseau2]

274. No you're not the only one

I live in San Francisco, and the only thing I'll watch is maybe some of the commercials, if they are clever ...

Last year, our team won the World Series and there were massive riots, with over 30 fires set across the city, and a large amount of property damaged, including a city bus being completely destroyed.

I was walking through the city and some owners were boarding up their businesses.

I don't blame them.

[99Forever]

275. What's a Super Bowl?

Some sort of industrial strength toilet?

[liberalmuse]

276. Puppy Bowl!

[xloadiex]

279. Even the sound of football gets on my nerves

I think it's the fact that our teachers and police make around 40K per year while someone who plays a GAME makes in the millions. That's just screwed up.

I find the puppy bowl much more entertaining.

[penndragon69]

280. Super Bowl???

Isn't that a food bowl for a Mastiff or a great Dane?

[YOHABLO]

281. Nice time to go to the gym .. then a movie .. now should I see Lincoln or Argo?

[Tom_Foolery]

286. I couldn't care less about it...

I heard some talking head sports guy say that the Super Bowl was the closest thing we have to a war. Really? If the spectators could shoot at the players, that might come close to a war.

[SheilaT]

287. How nice to see so many who don't care about it.

I have zero interest in professional sports, and one of the things I love best about living in New Mexico is: no professional major league sports.

And apparently I was quite confused about who is actually playing, since from hints dropped as I read through the posts, teams were named that I didn't know were in it.

It also helps that I don't have a TV, which has vastly improved the quality of my life for the nearly five years I've been without.

[crim son]

292. Look up the posts from last year this time.

You'll find that not only are you not the only person who doesn't give a shit about it, you aren't the only person who has asked the same question.

[DainBramaged]

306. YAY I'm not number one I'm not number one YAY me

[harun]

293. Nope, I'm with yah.

[bluestateguy]

294. I suppose no

But there are other issues that I consciously ignore as well.

I ignored the so-called "fiscal cliff", and it all came out just fine.

[AngryOldDem]

295. Does my future health and happiness depend on it? No. Does my continued existence? No.

But I enjoy it, so therefore I will watch it.

If that makes me part of the Great Unwashed, then oh well.

Takes all kinds to make the world go 'round.

[FarCenter]

296. Super bowls tend not to be the best games of the season

In may cases it turns into a game of two teams each trying not to lose.

Lousy conservatives!

[Mira]

298. Don't tell,

but I got to thinking after I posted the picture of food for the super bowl that I did not know if the Super Bowl is football, or baseball.
So I looked in the paper and say they said there was a quarterback involved.
I think that means football, and that slakes my thirst for knowledge on the subject.

( I must admit though I did not go to school in this country, but have lived her for many decades )

[secondvariety]

299. I'll watch it

until I go to bed. Get my last fix of football.

[Purveyor]

301. Downton Abbey for me. 8pm est PBS. eom

[rury]

302. I don't give a shit about it, either.

I just want to see President Obama be interviewed on the pre-game show. Then I will go read a book or something.

[Mosaic]

305. Good for you, many don't give a shit too!

Maybe we can evolve as humans. Cancel this yearly shit show I say!

[Maraya1969]

307. Nope you are not alone. Is it today?

[alp227]

309. Then listen to this weekend's Prairie Home Companion

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022305754

[thucythucy]

311. Add me to the list of folks who couldn't care less.

[bermudat]

312. I could give a rat's ass.

I'm doing a little cleanup. Rather do that than watch it.

[MrSlayer]

313. Normally I have at least a passing interest.

But not this year. We have Ray the murdering phoney Jesus freak Lewis vs. the ironically homophobic 49ers.

Not interested at all.

[valerief]

314. Nope. nt

[zanana1]

315. Back in the day...

Football just wasn't that important In the 60's and early to mid 70's the Super Bowl was mostly for people who were betting on the teams. That was before America became "dumbed down". Sorry, football fans, but I've waited so long to say it. If you genuinely enjoy football, that's great, but if you go crazy over it because other people do, it's kinda sad.

[Smilo]

318. Nope - we are legion

[moondust]

319. Hooray for permanent brain damage, American style!

I like the complexity and strategizing of the game (as opposed to something like soccer). Even played on my high school team. I knew of a kid back then who died after suffering a spinal cord injury in a football game.

As the years have passed the players have gotten bigger and stronger, the hits more powerful, and the injuries more frequent. Somebody is making a lot of money off it so it's not likely to change much anytime soon.

I'll probably watch the game but not with much enthusiasm.

[world wide wally]

321. Normally I love watching football on Sunday, but the Superbowl is the most over-hyped, anti climatic

game of the year. The season is already over unless you are a fan of SF or Baltimore.

[MADem]

322. I will watch it and not pay much attention. I will talk through the game, as will everyone

gathered in our home. We will be reverently silent during the commercials, and critique them noisily when the game starts up again. If there is a good play or two, we will remark upon it but we will not be hoo-rahing or bellowing like Joe on Family Guy.

We will comment mercilessly on the quality of the half time program, particularly if their is a surfeit of patriotic excess (not a problem in recent years like it was during the BushCorp era). We will enjoy a nice meal and some beverages.

Do I care who wins? Naaah. No one does, unless it's "their" favorite team.

[Yavin4]

323. Human beings love Sports and Sports are better than War

Superbowls, World Cups, Olympics, etc. are all beloved by millions, and sometimes billions, of people worldwide. Better that mankind play sports instead of fighting wars.

[Auntie Bush]

332. Looks like mankind doesn't mind giving each other concussions.

[Yavin4]

333. Been happening in boxing, mixed martial arts, cricket, etc. for years

all over the globe.

[DainBramaged]

324. Well, I am going to eat and crash, end of a sleepy weekend

see you on the dark side of the moon

[tomm2thumbs]

326. on the Greatest Page and rising fast - enjoy the rest of your Sunday DainB

[allan01]

325. re:Am I the only one who just doesn't give a shit about the Super Bowl?

breaking a self imposed radio silence here . i dont give a hoot either .

[tsuki]

327. No. nt

[Hoyt]

329. Will tune in while playing my mandola. If it is canceled, I wouldn't care.

[nilram]

330. Thanks for reminding me, I have some crap I have to shop for!

Stores should have fewer people in them. Excellent.

[Flaxbee]

331. Every February this thread happens, and every February I add my name to those who don't care about

the game, period. In general - don't care about professional sports, with the exception of a baseball game on a warm summer evening.

I think the slavish devotion to a sports team, that someone's happiness depends on who wins and who loses, is really quite tragic.

[Yavin4]

334. Good for you.

And I don't care about your [insert your favorite event] either.

[virgdem]

336. No you're not...

both hubby and I don't watch. However, we did watch the Puppy bowl and Kitty half time on Animal Planet and thoroughly enjoyed the action.

[bmbmd]

337. Well, if you're not watching

you just missed the Sandy Hook Elementary Choir singing with Jennifer Hudson. Getting a little misty in here. America, America-God shed his grace on thee. Indeed.

[Oakenshield]

338. You're definitely not alone.

I've never cared for sports. Why should anyone care who throws/catches or hits a freaking BALL? It's all trivial.

[malthaussen]

339. Not by a long shot.

You are, however, in a very small minority.

-- Mal

[Scootaloo]

340. Nope. Maybe if the Seahawks hadn't gotten ripped off, I'd be interested...

But they did, so I'm not.

[DLnyc]

341. no you are not.

[Canuckistanian]

342. Nope.

I've tried, but I just don't get the point of football games. It just seems like such a game of ritual and short-term drama rather than athletic prowess.

[joanbarnes]

343. i say get Tivo to just play the commercials, Beyonce and J. Hud.

[Curmudgeoness]

344. Is that today? nt

[tclambert]

345. Yes. Yes, you are.

And the rest of us are keeping one eye on you.

[ananda]

346. No, you are not the only one.

I won't be watching either.

[barbtries]

347. the what?

[applegrove]

348. I love the Superbowl because it means

football season is over. I played flag football in public school and loved it. I know the plays. But I can't stand watching it while my dad watches it every weekend.

[Initech]

349. I live in the only major metro area without a football team (LA) and I'm watching.

[Whisp]

350. bread & circuses stupidity. n/t

[arthritisR_US]

351. I don't either

[Whisp]

352. we can make guesses of how many of these guys were in a rape gang

in HS or college.

seems to be the thang.

[Yavin4]

354. And Some People Wonder Why Americans Don't Like Liberals

Maybe its because of posts like these.

[Whisp]

355. ah, I guess you don't know then. nvmd.

enjoy the show.

[Yavin4]

357. Because everyone that plays football is a rapist. I got ya.

And with thoughts like that, we wonder why we can't win elections in certain parts of the country.

[deutsey]

356. I'm in Maryland...couldn't care any less than I do n/t

[treestar]

358. No. I'm at sister's house where they are watching it but I'm on the laptop

watching videos with headphones and reading DU.

I can see that it is 20-3 Baltimore in the Second Quarter.

[Tien1985]

361. Not at all

I only want to know who wins so I know which group of co-workers to avoid tomorrow.

[Demoiselle]

363. You are not, sir.

I'm just waiting for Downton Abbey....

[onlyadream]

364. I don't, my hubby doesn't, and my kids don't.

Wish we could get into it, but it ain't gonna happen. Ever.

[another_liberal]

365. What the hell . . .!

What the hell is wrong with San Francisco! Twenty-one to six, Ravens, at the half?

Don't they know people have money on this game!

Then, on the other hand:

Should this post be on a different string?

[Skittles]

366. don't care

but love the Superbowl Potluck goodies

[Jane Austin]

367. Goodness No!

Before my husband died, we always took advantage of the Super Bowl by going out to eat at really popular restaurants that were otherwise too crowded or too noisy to enjoy.

This is a bittersweet day for me.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

368. No. I don't care about it. Never did.

Thank heavens I don't have a TV so don't have to be subjected to it.

[drmeow]

370. Oh, is that today?

[madashelltoo]

371. Uh . . . Nope!

[progressoid]

372. The Music Man is on TCM!!

[tpsbmam]

374. I give a shit.....

I made the mistake of going to the market & liquor store yesterday......had no idea it was super bowl Saturday.....figured it out when I was in the mile long market line....will never make that mistake again! From now on I'll pay attention to when the fucking super bowl is happening so I can avoid the LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES !!!!!!!!

Holy shit!

Oh, you mean there was/is a football game today? Don't know who played/is playing and/or who won/is winning. And don't care. And never will.

All I know is to learn next year when the fucking thing is and get all errands run before super bowl eve!

[pauldemmd195j]

375. Hell no

I loathe the Super Bowl. It truly sucks AND blows.

[lexw]

376. I watch it, and the Puppy Bowl...

but a couple years ago I went to the gym while it was on, thinking I could get a work out in while watching it, but not a single tv had the Super Bowl on. So, I think there are many folks out there that just want to get away from the Super Bowl.

[jimlup]

377. I'm a football fan and I've learned not to pay much attention to it...

The game itself is almost an afterthought considering all the over-hype. It's a shameful display of American consumerism at its worst.

[TM99]

378. I have not watched a Super Bowl

since I was a little boy. I just outgrew the bread & circus. I don't have cable TV. I never follow any sport not even the Olympics.

I would rather 'do' a sport (martial arts, running, rugby, etc.) than 'watch' a sport.

I will be watching the rest of Season 1 of The Borgias tonight.

[Lane1340]

379. If it's a good game, I'll watch

As soon as it becomes a blowout, I'm off to better things...

[Flatulo]

380. No, you're in good company.

Never understood the allure of giants crushing each other.

I'm watching Downton Abbey.

[ChazInAz]

381. You are not alone.

I have no interest in spectator sports.
In fact, I have only gone to one football game: Illinois Wesleyan's 1968 Homecoming game, my freshman year there. We lost.

[libodem]

382. But, Hey, Who Am I To Turn Down A Good Party

For Whatever Reason??? Oh Well..

[brooklynite]

383. I don't care enough to tell people that I don't care...

[99th_Monkey]

385. I'll just go to my local strip club if I want to see a wardrobe malfunction.

don't need no stinkin' NFL for that.

[femmocrat]

386. NO! But I did love the Puppy Bowl!

Thank you, Animal Planet. I hope those puppies all find good homes.

[llmart]

387. No, you're not.

I enjoyed Downton Abbey though.

[calimary]

388. Nope. Don't give a fig.

We were busy running errands. GREAT time to be on the road - nobody else was out! Freeways were open, major boulevards were empty, perpetually gridlocked intersections were flowing smoothly as could be. Totally uncrowded roads! But in residential neighborhoods near us you couldn't find a parking space along the curb to save your life. Must have been a lot of Super Bowl parties going on.

[csziggy]

389. No - I watched The Music Man this evening

It was great!

[RoccoR5955]

391. Not at all n/t

[emsimon33]

392. It is a great time to hit Costco, gas up, and get other supplies

No lines...same with Starbucks.

Gotta love the Super Bowl for cutting down on traffic.

[Beacool]

393. I didn't watch it either.

Although I tend to root for the underdog, so I'm glad that the Ravens won.

[emmadoggy]

395. LOL. Nope.

I just posted on FB something to that effect.

I spent the evening working on a puzzle and listening to music. Hubby and daughter watched though. If it was our home team playing, I might be a little more into it, but otherwise I just don't care.

Overhyped, overblown, half-time shows are mostly lame, and the commercials really aren't as great as people rave about. I think they used to be better, but now they are all just trying too hard to be THE funniest, or coolest, or heart-tuggingest. Yawn.

[donheld]

396. Not unless it's a super bowl of Ice Cream.

[Anser]

397. With you.

[AllyCat]

400. And I don't really care about the ads either.

[BlueStater]

401. I really don't give a shit about sports in general. N/T

[Mojorabbit]

402. I used to love football

Maybe it is because I am older but the noise level bothers me and I have for some reason lost all interest in it. I used to hate baseball but find I am enjoying
it now. No idea why.

[Zax2me]

403. Not the only one.

But it is consistently the most watched program year in and year out.

[AsahinaKimi]

404. I took a nap during the Superbowl.

Last edited Mon Feb 4, 2013, 04:49 AM - Edit history (2)

I started to watch it, but It really wasn't of interest to me. I am a OAKLAND Raiders fan, so even though I live in San Francisco, it had no real meaning to me. I did have a nice big duck dinner before the game, so that's probably why I got sleepy. The duck and the nap was nice!

[Blue_In_AK]

405. I'm glad I didn't watch

so I don't have to be conscripted into the Beyonce wars.

[Warpy]

407. Nope, it's sweeps month so TCM is showing Oscar nominees/winners

and the Stupor Bowl is just going to have to proceed without me.

I didn't even know who was playing until people here started to post scores.

[HiPointDem]

408. no

[DFW]

409. Hardly

I have NEVER watched a super-bowl, and the only time I ever use the term is when a particularly large portion of thick hot and sour soup is put before me.

[Demo_Chris]

410. Nope. I still don't know for sure who was playing. Don't care

[Ford_Prefect]

412. Who really cares? Yet another Over Paid, Over Hyped, Over Patriotic, Hyper-commercial for

the excesses of consumer exploitation.

TMC has a better show.

[tova]

413. no

Just a bunch of people paid a ton to make money for the team owners.

[Lebam in LA]

415. Nope

Didn't even know it was on yesterday

[northoftheborder]

416. I have NO interest in any professional football, and most professional sports, period.

I enjoy watching my university play football, love professional tennis, and a lot of the olympic sports. That's it. Edit: I watch some golf tournaments.

[april]

417. no you are not alone..

[jambo101]

418. I'm not into team sports

Superbowl? I went to bed at 7pm.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

419. This Ravens fan gave a shit!

Woo-hoo!!!!

[tlw3]

420. No.

No.

[raccoon]

421. No. nt

[doeriver]

422. You are not alone...

You are not alone...I have no interest in either watching or subsidizing socialist professional (or college) games organizations with tax dollars.

[Chakaconcarne]

424. i could care less

Now, world cup..........yes.

[Blue_Tires]

425. +1

Now that this silliness is over, it's time for some goddamned BASEBALL!!!

[efhmc]

426. Can't think of a bigger waste of times, unless it's a Romney speech.

[mike_c]

427. the what?

eom

[Hamlette]

430. no, Costco was empty

I wasn't paying attention to the super bowl being on but was shocked when I got to Costco and saw parking spaces! right at the door! All over the place. The parking lot was almost empty. I thought maybe it was close to closing time so I kind of hurried with my shopping until I realized the reason.

It's the perfect time to run errands.

[demwing]

432. Super Bowl?

Is that just like a regular bowl, packed a little tighter, maybe with a drop of hash oil?

Sound pretty damned good to me.

[MattBaggins]

433. Superbowl was yesterday? Wasn't everyone watching The Walking Dead marathon?

[Dpm12]

435. I hate

Super Bowl too. Hate football and sports in general.

[NCTraveler]

437. Not a big fan of the NFL. College girl. Go Gators.

But I do know the money that the Super Bowl will bring into NO. I also know that many people love their sporting events and it gives them a nice break for entertainment. We all need a little bit of that these days. And the local business that will be helped.

So yes, I give a shit about the Super Bowl because I give a shit about others.

[mlevans]

438. No. Not by a long shot. n/t

[KauaiK]

440. Count me in

same thing for golf and boxing. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Actually Super Bowl Sunday is the best day to go somewhere that is usually crowded.

[dbackjon]

441. Yet you feel compelled to make a thread about it

Should we all make threads about everything we don't give a shit about?

[SemperEadem]

442. Nope.. I didn't watch

had a nice quiet evening reading, something I haven't taken the time to do for a long, long time. Sheila Bair's book "Bull by the Horns".

[jambo101]

443. As usual 60 minutes gets bumped nt

[white_wolf]

444. No your not. I was busy watching Tabletop with Will Wheaton.

So much better than the Super Bowl.

[montanto]

445. nope.
