The Anti Super Bowl Thread

post #1 of 79

Thread Starter 
I know there's gotta be at least 8 of us out there who don't watch football and consider the Super Bowl to be "that annoying filler that's delaying a new episode of House."

What will you guys be doing on Super Bowl Sunday, when humanity disappears from the streets and leaves us stragglers free to rule the world? Me, I'll probably go out and do some shopping, catch up on a couple Friday Night Lights episodes (so much better than real football), and maybe watch a Netflix or two.

Super Bowl Sunday is the only day when the population of the world appears to go down to a reasonable amount. If only they could imbed that game with the subliminal messages from Halloween III, I think we'd be better off.

I don't know about annoying filler that's delaying a new episode of anything, but I'm not watching that shit. Except for the Iron Man preview.

What am I doing today? The same thing I've been doing for the past week, editing together these retarded photo montages and other wise screwing around on my computer.

EDIT: And drinking.

I'll have you know that Super Bowl Sunday gives me an excuse to get hammered on Sunday. And that is always a good thing. I'm in the middle of making my awesome Mexican cheese dip. A nice bowl of this along with the Sweetwater Hummber brew I have on ice may make you change your mind Supremo.

You've got to watch the Super Bowl! If you don't, you won't be able to discuss the new Budweiser commercial at work tomorrow!

I hate football, and the only thing that is any interest is that I found out that one of the teams, which I found out was The Patriots, is undefeated. That's about it. I'll hopefully be watching Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only instead. If not, V: The Final Battle, or my recently purchased vhs of Razorback. Yeah, I've got plenty else to do. Also got a friend down from San Antonio, so we'll probably hang out too.

I'm all for drinking booze and eating copious amounts of crap, I'd just rather do it without suffering through football. Any movie trailers or memorable commercials will be on YouTube by tonight, so even that holds no appeal.

I hate football like poison, so you couldn't get me to watch the Superbowl. Especially not when the corpses are piling up like timberwood on the Law & Order marathon that's on at the same time - that's the channel my ass will be parked in front of.

If it's not today, then when the hell is it?

I was gonna take a jab at you Antoine, but I decided against it at the last minute.

I'm a Packers fan foremost, and a Dallas fan on days when the Packers aren't on. I'll watch this year's game, but probably while I'm doing homework or something. I'm for the Giants, but I have no illusions about what's going to happen...

Hmmmm......

Anyways, I had to drive my dad down to a local sports bar, since I guess he gets uber drunk on Super Bowl Sunday. I stayed for a pint and got a free football shaped glass out of it. Touching that glass was the closest I've ever gotten to playing real football.

I'll probably just finish up season six of Curb Your Enthusiasm and maybe watch a movie.

This is sort of what my girlfriend in Boston said.

Her: "The ads are fun! Why don't you watch it for the ads?"

Me: "I don't see the point in sitting there for five hours when I can spend ten minutes watching the best ads the next day on Youtube."

pause

Her: "Good point."

pause

Her: "But it's a media event!"

Me: "I don't watch things just because the machine tells me to."

Her: "Is that why you refuse to read the Harry Potter books?"

Me: "I don't refuse to read them. I don't read them because I don't enjoy them. I read the first couple, and then I stopped."

Her: "Oh."

pause

Her: "So it's not that you refuse to watch the Superbowl out of some kind of protest, you just don't enjoy it."

Me: "Right."

pause

Her: "I like watching it with my father."

Me: "Now that's a good reason. Please enjoy yourself."


It's an interesting relationship.

You're a wise man, Cervaise.

Actually, Help! is on, and I haven't seen that in ages, so I'm going to watch that now, and then go back to Law & Order.

Yep.

I'll get drunk and eat chips & chili during the OSCARS (the film-geek's Super Bowl).

But, if it's a boxing match or UFC fight? I'm there.

The Super Bowl, and football in general, are not my thing. But I like drinking and hanging out with friends in bars, so I've seen far too many games this/last year. Far too many.

Even if you're not a fan of football, why would you turn down going to a good party? I can't understand that.

The party I was at tonight had about 25% of the people there watching the game until the last 10 minutes or so, when everyone was glued to the set because it was so tense. Most go for food & drink, and couldn't give a shit about a game being on - it's just a good social event. Why miss out on that?

Well I had work to do, plus my cable/internet stopped working about 30 minutes into the game and stayed off for about an hour.

And I have no interest in professional sports. Ironically for the time being I work for one of America's top sports memorabilia auction houses.

We were too concerned with Lesnar/Mir and Nog/Sylvia to realize there was another sporting event happening this weekend.

I had a friend over, and my wife joined us in an extended session of Rock Band. I actually didn't know the Super Bowl was today until he mentioned it.

Nobody asked me who I was rooting for this year, which was kind of disappointing. I always enjoy the blank expression of disbelief when I tell them that I don't know who's playing. Sometimes I do know who's playing, but I say it anyway, just to see the expression.
