Raise your hand if you will NOT be watching football tonight

[arismomkoofie]

I have heard something about an important game today, but the details are fuzzy.

[Az]

1. Whats going on, all this talk about football

I didn't think soccer was still hot around the states. :wtf:

[cags]

2. I solemnly swear to not watch football today or ever!!!

[FloridaPat]

3. I'll be watching ads during the super bowl. Last years were terrible.

Hopefully they are better this year. I will pay more attention to the half time show though.

[ikojo]

35. Well we know they will be more conservative

and 1950s like....Fox rejected an ad by one of the beer companies for disparaging Anheuser Busch products.

[CBGLuthier]

4. not a bit of it

Except I will do a little picture in picture so I can know when the Simpsons comes on.

[Cornus]

5. Raising hand nt

[Feathered Fish]

6. Hello

There is no way in hell that I would watch. :boring:

[WilliamPitt]

7. God damn, guys...BUNNY SUIT!!!

If this isn't a reason to watch a football game, well, I just don't know.

:)

[arismomkoofie]

11. I was planning on watching DU for that!

of course, if I was invited I'd be there!

'cept, I don't know where "there" is, and if it was too far, I really wouldn't

[GalleryGod]

12. Where's Emily Litella when we need her!?

:wtf:

[GalleryGod]

14. How's Your Stomach-As-A-Car- Battery Quotient?

:think: :think: :smoke: :eyes:

[Az]

24. The bunny suit happens no matter what

No need to suffer through a football game. Humiliations galore no matter what.

[yellowdogintexas]

8. I will either be watching the MONK marathon or my new DVD of

Angels in America.

[mike_c]

9. isn't that the game with the funny shaped ball...?

Where adults are paid astronomical sums to bash one another and act like children trying to run with a ball while others try to stop them? No, I won't be watching.

“Two things only the people anxiously desire—bread and circuses.” Not much has changed.

[CO Liberal]

10. Me!! Me!! Me!!!

I consider professional sports to be a collosal waste of time and money.

[hlthe2b]

13. With all nods to Sir Paul, I think not....

The half time show is sure to be so "pure" that I'm afraid Focus on the Family will be sending subliminal messages to hate gays and Falwell, to send (him) $$$$. NOt even any chance of a "cutting edge" commercial...

I want my country/my society back....The superbowl is everything about excessive captialism and very little about sport, IMO...

[Dez]

15. I hate football

it's so violent, and I don't like violence.

[Cadence]

16. How long do I have to hold my hand up here?

:P

[arismomkoofie]

32. As long as it takes

LOL!

[RandomKoolzip]

17. I won't. I'll be cooking food for the ungrateful slobs who watch that shit

n/t

[McKenzie]

18. is that the game with the round ball, or the pointy-ended one?

I can never tell which is which lol.

[auntAgonist]

20. LOL McKenzie! you and I posted a the SAME time hehe

that's NOT a ball!

[McKenzie]

23. oops...that co-incidence thing is bad karma

I'm off to dance widdershins (anti-clockwise) round the house 13 times and say loads of spells to ward off bad luck.

heehee

cheers aA

[auntAgonist]

19. football?

The 'ball' isn't even round, they hardly use their feet ...

vas is dat football schtuff?

I'll be cleaning, Du'ing, and just generally having a regular sunday


:hi:

[NC_Nurse]

21. With pride

I raise my hand! :headbang:

[Sporadicus]

22. Whether for the 'Bread and Circuses' or the Advertising

I won't be watching the game. Professional sports are just a diversion from the issues that really matter, and I can't muster even a modicum of give-a-shit for whatever team wins the big, big prize. Watch the game in order to see the latest scams corporate sociopaths have ready to unleash on consumers? No thanks!

[Merlot]

25. I never watch football, so why today? Is it a special day?

[FormerDittoHead]

26. If you guys were to BET - EVEN A DOLLAR it would be MUCH more interesting.

When I was in high school playing a pool for a DOLLAR, I found it AMAZING how interested I'd get into a game with teams I'd otherwise have NO interest in.

The thing I find so funny is all the ILLEGAL wagering on sports, today being the peak of the year.

Betting DRIVES the sports industry. If illegal betting were enforced, we wouldn't be building 700 MILLION dollar stadiums with taxpayer dollars...

If there were NO BETTING on sports, all of the "hoopla" would be but a SMALL FRACTION of what it is, and all of these sports would turn into: SPORTS, and not the media hype machines they've turned into.

[saracat]

27. I beat cha! I posted this last nite!

[forgethell]

28. Monk-a-thon for me.

I think there's one on. Otherwise, I reading a great book, History of Food by Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat, translated by Anthea Bell.

[hippiechick]

29. Football ? What's that ?

If it ain't on ice, it ain't a sport !

:evilgrin:

[Az]

30. Watching Happiness of the Katikuras tonight

Possibly the wierdest movie ever to come from Japan. And that's saying something.

[CharG]

31. football.......boring.........

I realize that it brings a great number of people pleasure to watch this game and that's great...have a wonderful time.....but for me.....it has always been boring.......just the same old thing over and over again....a few good plays sprinkled in here and there....but for the most part just grind, grind, grind, a few yards at a time, over and over and over.....boring.........

[alarimer]

33. Not me

I have to write a paper that is due tomorrow and for some reason I am having a little writer's block. Guess I should have been working on it during the week. LOL. This working fulltime and going to grad school part time kind of sucks.

So no, I doubt I will catch much of the game. I usually don't unless my team is in and since they haven't been since, oh, about 1977, I think, I rarely pay much attention.

[ikojo]

34. I wont be watching...may look in on Paul McCartney

at the half time show....

[Darranar]

36. *raises hand*...

Why would anyone be? What's on tonight?

[SarahB]

37. It's not my thing.

So I don't plan to watch it. :shrug:

[DeaconBlues]

38. why should I watch a game with two teams representing places I've never

been to in my whole life? Especially since the players probably never lived in those areas themselves until they were recruited, and would be happy to pick up a go elsewhere for a few dollars more. The loyalty the average fan has for his or her team amazes me, especially since the players, staff, etc., don't have the same loyalty.

[Longgrain]

39. I'll be observing but not watching

Not into sports much, but being a New Angland-ah I'll be rooting for the Pats.

Plus I threw a few fives into several office pools so I have a vested interest in the game.
