I can’t stand the crowd noise. A Titanic survivor could not attend them because the crowd noise reminded him of people calling out from the water.
Not unless my Steelers are playing. Which they’re not.
I plan on watching only so I can participate in the Monday morning conversations with general statements about how boring/exciting/lopsided the game was.
I don’t understand why so many parents push their sons to participate in it. You WANT your son to be a brain-damaged, unemployable, drug-addicted rapist?
At least, that’s what the football players at my high school were like, and that was over 30 years ago.
Yep, they did things that would make the Steubenville kids look like monks. No, there wasn’t social media, but there were Polaroids, and I found out about it from a GIRL I worked with who hung with that crowd. :eek: BTW, these were Caucasian kids from middle-class families.
I’m in Seattle, but not following or interested in the SB. If anything, I’ll have the Puppy Bowl on while getting an early start on tax returns.
You… you are a madman… I want to party with you cowboy!
Not in the least bit interested. Sunday night I will be tuned into “The Worst Cooks in America” on the Food Network
I come a lot closer to feeling it should be banned. But I’m definitely not interested in watching the horrible thing.
I may finish watching “At Berkeley” on Sunday. It’s a Frederick Wiseman documentary with a running time of 4 hours 4 minutes; it aired on PBS a while back but I got it on Netflix.
We’re supposed to get snow this weekend, too.
Oh, I don’t do it with pants on. How’s that?
Puppy Bowl for me! You Tube for the ads
Not really. Not this year anyway. Haven’t seen a whole game all season.
Why would anyone want to watch a sporting event through the medium of Farnsworth’s infernal machine? I shall instead spend my time perfecting the cathode ray device described by Alan Archibald Campbell-Swinton in his 1908 letter to Nature.
This thread continues to confirm my earlier post. It’s kind of like asking who else is vegan or doesn’t own a TV.
This is hardly a minority position. Heck, I won’t be watching either, and I certainly don’t fee like a freak.
I’m pretty sure the line about Christmas is in the movie. In fact, I’m certain of it. That’s what makes Shaw’s response in the satire so funny!
IIRC, that was Jack Thayer, who lived just a stone’s throw from Tiger Stadium in Detroit. Whenever someone hit a home run, he was instantly taken back to the night of the disaster.
Whenever I tell someone I’m not interested in sports, the response is always bewildered shock.
“What, not even football/hockey/baseball?!? Why not???”
“They don’t interest me. What, I need some kind of justification???”
Denial can be a good coping mechanism.
Think twice before you commit to that plan. I tried that one year and was astonished to learn how many other people had them same idea. If you’re an annual passholder a miscalculation won’t hurt, but if you’re buying tix that day it could be a disappointment.
I don’t really understand why someone would start a thread about something they DON’T care about.
“I’m not watching the Super Bowl” isn’t even a non-conformist statement. Most people don’t watch the Super Bowl. It’s certainly a great many people, but it probably isn’t quite half the population of the U.S. and Canada and obviously is far, far less than that outside those countries. And of course of those people who do watch it, many are doing so pretty casually, a much higher percentage than of those people watching regular season games.
So congratulations on not watching the Super Bowl, you’re just like most people.
