Will you be watching the Superbowl on Sunday?

[omega minimo]

After calling for impeachment on Saturday, will your Sunday be devoted to the Big Game? DU will be down for upgrades. What will you be up to?

:yourock:

Edit for Missing Options!

[Maddy McCall]

1. Other. No.

I won't be watching the superbowl. I'll probably rent some movies, maybe watch the halftime 'cause the Stones are playing, and then go back to watching the movie.

[cdsilv]

2. I'll watch if for the commercials....

...while at the same time being online, surfing the web.

I have a laptop (co. supplied) in my office, and my personal one in my living room so I can internet surf and channel surf at the same time.....

[Berserker]

4. Hell yes I will be watching

I love football. I'm a Vikings fan but this Sunday I'm a Seahawks fan.

[smtpgirl]

32. I'm a Redskins fan

GO STEELERS!!!

[Broken_Hero]

58. I'm a Seahawks fan, and GO Hawks!!!...n/t...:)

[fortyfeetunder]

129. Pssssst...

A team from "Washington" is in the Superbowl.....is that enough to convince you to cheer for the Seahawks instead?

[omega minimo]

31. Maybe Mick will have

a wardrobe malfunction

:wow:

[Common Sense Party]

69. I love the Stones. I can't believe they're still together...

Fred and Barney.

[Avalux]

3. Yes I will.

Regardless of my politics, I'll always be a Steelers fan. :hi:

[spindrifter]

5. Let's hear it for the Seahawks!!!

[SeattleGirl]

9. Go Seahawks!!!!!!!!

[Robeson]

64. I'm with you! Go NFC!!!!!......

[SeattleGirl]

71. Robeson!

:toast: :loveya:

[Robeson]

72. Hey SeattleGirl!.....

...I'm so proud of your team! They've always been my second favorite team. I've kept up with them since they came in the league! I'm so glad your city is getting to have the Super Bowl experience. It's been long overdue!...:party: :toast: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

75. Aw, thanks Robeson!

Who's your fav team?

[Robeson]

76. Well, my avatar kinda' gives it away.....

....;-)

[SeattleGirl]

77. Shoot! I haveta go to bed! I totally missed that.

[Robeson]

78. That's OK, I love ya' anyway....

[SeattleGirl]

82. Oh, you sweetie!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

6. Of Course, It's The Superbowl!

I wouldn't dare walk into work Monday not having anything to comment on about the game. I'll be watchin at home while wifey and the kids are at her mothers. Woohoo!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

49. Are you celebrating the absence of the wifey and kids? Just curious.

As an anecdote, I will be watching it at home with my hubby. We will be continuing his education in the game of football. After 14 years of marriage he finally began to show interest in about 01". He's just about got it down now.

Edited to add: :woohoo:

[Ksec]

7. Hell yea. Go Steelers !!

[The Gunslinger]

10. Here we go Steelers. Here we go

[Ksec]

Here we go bom bom bom *Here we go bom bom bom

Pittsburghs goin to the Superbowl.

Here we go bom bom bom.

:)

[Mabus]

56. While I won't be watching

and I don't even have my terrible towel anymore, I will be hoping for a Steeler victory.

[zann725]

128. Steelers by 9 points...they're goin' kick ars. And that ankle injury...?

If they could win in a blinding snowstorm a few weeks ago, and come from so far behind to make it to the Superbowl...these ARE the guys to watch.

Plus the Detroit energy and the Pittsburgh energy are compatible, and will "feed" off each other. Similar...simpatico...

Sorry, Seahawks. As they say in Pittsburgh street-talk, "Yous gonna lose."

[SeattleGirl]

8. Watching and rooting for the Seahawks

[Mabus]

11. College basketball games

followed by shooting baskets with an 11 year-old then out for a romp in the woods with the dogs. Sunday evening is always reserved for HBO. So, actually it will be a typical weekend.

[maveric]

My son invited over to watch it at his place on his 62" HDTV.

Its great for watching football. You see so many more fine details and shadows that you just dont catch on regular broadcast.
He invited his two brothers and me over. Not really a party.

[ramapo]

12. Anything but

I could care less

[rustydog]

13. Let's Go SEAHAWKS..LET'S GO!

:party:

[immoderate]

14. Giant fan here, favoring the Steelers.

It's Franco's team!

--IMM

[NJCher]

15. not me

I'll be working at home and not watching the game.




Cher

[Glorfindel]

16. Something else; probably watching a rented movie

I've never seen a superbowl and have no interest in seeing this one.

[strategery blunder]

17. Other. Diebold was here.

I couldn't cast a "nay" vote. This poll is rigged.:evilgrin:

[omega minimo]

37. Sorry mate--

I corrected my "strategery blunder"

That Diebold crack was a LOW BLOW!!!!! B-)

[strategery blunder]

81. Of course, you didn't add the 'no' option until a bunch of people voted

You election h4x0r, you:evilgrin:

*Here, have some Abramoff $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*

[omega minimo]

100. No need for "conspiracy theories"

or :tinfoilhat:

We corrected the "glitch" in the system as soon as it was noticed and brought to our attention and technicians were available to assess the situation and report back to central and receive approval for appropriate adjustments.

:patriot:


btw: "Other" covers "NO WAY"-- I had no idea some DUers hated football SOOOooooooooooOOOO much!!!! :evilgrin:

[strategery blunder]

104. LOL

nothing to see here...

*whistles past graveyard*

:tinfoilhat:

Some of us DUers were born in the wrong country and are Canadians at heart. Hockey rules, eh?:evilgrin:

[omega minimo]

106. Curling, anyone?

Let the potatoee chips fall where they may :rofl:

[0007]

18. I can't take all the silly hype and bullshit personal stories.

May watch until it appears Pittsburgh is the more superior team. Like to see Seattle win this super bowl.

[MarianJack]

19. Flicking back occasionally...

...to check the score.

I voted other.

[qanda]

20. I'll be at a Superbowl party

Hosted by someone else.

On Edit: GO STEELERS!!!!!!! GOTTA LUV THE BLACK N GOLD!

[Jane Austin]

21. Dearest Husband and I find a restaurant that's impossible to get

into ordinarily, and enjoy having almost the whole place to ourselves.

It's an annual ritual for us.

[Maru Kitteh]

52. What a nice idea :-) As for my dear husband and I . . . we reside in

Kearney, Nebraska. The hardest restaurant to get into here is probably McDonald's at 5:30 on a Friday, LOL. We would never want to go there anyway (both vegans) so that's out. The local Wal*Mart is always choked with ignorati, maybe we could go there on SBS and look for something hideously stereotypical. What a hoot!

[GoneOffShore]

22. The Superbowl?

Is that something to do with cereal?

I don't understand.

[omega minimo]

38. Yep

Frosted Flakes meet the Count Choculas

:bounce:

[Clarkie1]

23. What teams are playing in the superbowl this year?

[Ksec]

24. Chicago and Tampa Bay.

[Clarkie1]

26. Hmmm....no, I probably won't be watching since I don't care who wins. n/t

Edit: and frankly, the idea of seeing the wrinkly rockers on stage at halftime is, well, kinda scary....

[Viva_La_Revolution]

53. Steelers and Seahawks

:banghead:

[Robeson]

80. Cold blooded,.....

...;-)

[RC]

25. Why?

[eggman67]

27. GO STEELERS!!! n/t

[The2ndWheel]

28. Strictly for the militarism

There's something about knowing that that many people will be sitting there watching mass military propganda which makes me want to watch. Support "our" troops!

[omega minimo]

40. Televised bloodsport with product placement!

A corporate government wet dream :puke:

[GOPisEvil]

93. I'll make sure everyone watching at my house enlists right away.

:eyes:

[sasquatch]

95. Oh Jesus, will you give that horseshit up

:eyes:

[unkachuck]

29. nope....opiate of the masses....

....I don't do drugs....

[niyad]

30. didn't they have it already?

[omega minimo]

34. ow

:rofl: :cry: :rofl:

[JackRiddler]

33. Steelers 23, Seahawks 13

And that's how I'd like it, too.

[Lady Effingbroke]

35. Nope, working.

[dweller]

36. same here

i am the 4th-ranked manor kitchen knave of the 3rd shift galley squire to the 2nd class chef in charge of the 1st born sauce wench of Lord Effingbroke. . . no relation, i'm sure.

cheers.

[Hidden Stillness]

39. Puppy Bowl!

I voted "No Way!" Football is overrated and boring, to me. I am going to do what I did last year, and watch the "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet. I watched the first one last year, (they played it over and over all day), and it was so entrancing, so enjoyable, I just loved the way they did it. Many group and individual incidents of puppy play on a "football field," with replays and an occasional referee showing up; it really showed the complexity and wonderfulness of a lot of this pup behavior. Not a lot of strategy, though; but best of all--no commercials! If you love dogs and puppies, this was a great thing, as it was just camera and microphone, and low-key music; very little editing and production, so you can just enjoy the puppies. I've been waiting all year for this thing!

[omega minimo]

44. AWWWWWWwwwwwwwwww

I'd much rather watch adorable pups run a few yards and fall down in a pile

than lycra-ed hulks run a few yards and fall down in a pile


:hi:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

41. Watching the commercials.

I turn the sound off when the football part comes on. :)

[RB TexLa]

42. At home they didn't have flights out of Detroit late enough

to ensure I would not have to leave the game early. :banghead:

[question everything]

43. I like Grey's Anatomy

which will air after the game. Will have to rely on DU to know when it is over

[frylock]

45. i'll be watching at a superbowl party

[napi21]

46. Hell Yea, and waving my Terrible Towel!!!!!

I grew up in Pgh during the Steeler Dynasty! I was relocated in 1987, but NEVER missed at least listening to a Steeler Game, even if I couldn't watch!

I'll have my Myron Cope Terrible Towel waving, and hope they don't give me another near heart attack like they did in the last playoff game!!!!!!

GO STEELERS!!!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

47. It's 'Super Bowl,' dammit

Two words.



And, no — I won't be watching, since I care not at all about either of the competitors.

[omega minimo]

The fans could spel?

After the beers start floin and the werds start slurrin noonewillcare howyouspell stupor bowl.

:bounce: :bounce:

[Nicole]

48. I'll go to the hardware store

and enjoy browsing without so many men in the way. It's an annual tradition for me.

[dandylion]

50. Go Steelers!

I'll be on the computer and watching the game. I'm looking forward to the commercials and the half time show. :popcorn:

Go Steelers! :woohoo:

[Progressive4Life]

51. I'm not a football person, so I won't be watching

I'll probably be preparing lecture notes or catching up on a few podcasts.

[magellan]

54. The only football we watch

...is called soccer here.

[goodboy]

55. GO STEELERS!!!!!! (NT)

[pinniped]

57. Puppy Bowl II!

I think last year some puppy dropped something on the field.

[omega minimo]

63. Durn puppies! Somebody get a Terrible Towel!!!

:yoiks:

[sandnsea]

59. Are you fucking kidding me?? After 30 years?????

It is not just, "yes I'll be watching from home", it's

HAWK CITY SUPERBOWL BABY!!!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

60. not watching -sports are the opiate of the masses

...

[omega minimo]

67. Cept if they used opium there wouldnt be a spike in domestic violence

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[auntAgonist]

61. The what?

i voted NO :)


not into football at all, but I do hope that those who are, have a most enjoyable time watching.


aA

[CanuckAmok]

62. I haven't watched since Bruce Dern almost crashed a blimp into the stands.

Kind of ruined the experience for me, you know?

[Robeson]

65. You'd have to pry the remote from my dead cold hands to keep....

...me from watching it...;-)

[6000eliot]

66. Can't stand the jingoism.

I haven't watched since the Iraq invasion.

[omega minimo]

68. How do they jingoistic it?

(I don't watch)

[6000eliot]

84. Lots of pro-American, support the troops stuff.

It isn't that I don't "support the troops," but I think there are better ways of doing it than using them as props for government propaganda.

[omega minimo]

85. Oh yeah! "Bring them home-- ALIVE"-- see Swampy's sig line

:patriot: :grouphug:

[Fox Mulder]

70. Possibly...

if there's nothing else on.

I'm so sick of hearing the media already portraying the Steelers as the winners of the Super Bowl when it hasn't even been played yet! It annoys the fuck out of me! :eyes:

[FVZA_Colonel]

73. I'll be watching at a Party my college dorm is throwing.

I mean, I have to watch. I'm born and bred Western Washingtonian, I've been waiting 18 damn years for the Hawks to get to the Superbowl.

[Awsi Dooger]

74. I'll tape it and watch it on Thursday

No particular reason. Then I'll review the flock of always clever, "Am I the only one who doesn't care about the Super Bowl?" threads.

[Swamp Rat]

79. Nope. I'll be playing music and dancing all day.

TV sucks

Sports on TV sucks even more

People talking endlessly about the sports they saw on TV sucks the most

:D

[Maddy McCall]

83. Ahem. I just couldn't resist...

I bought some crawfish earlier this week. 3.50/lb. Bought 15 lbs. I cried as I handed the cashier the money--I just couldn't wait any longer for the price to drop.

But, DAMN, they were delicious. :9

[Swamp Rat]

127. green

...the hue of my envy. :D ... BUT, I just ate a bowl of turtle soup! :9

I discovered a small mom-n-pop seafood store (was a little gas station) that sells huge po-boys for under 7 bucks, out on Jeff Hwy. I'm gonna get a softshell crab po-boy the next time I go there, AND order some crawfish ($3.99/lb). Yesterday, I had a shrimp po-boy and the day before I had a oyster po-boy. The lady who owns the place gave me about two pounds of jumbo shrimp as lagniappe! :D Then I caught up with a high school friend whom I haven't seen for EONS! :bounce:

If only da rest of dis cuntry knew how good we gots down here when it comes to food... music, dance, spirits, ad infinitum. If another hurricane hits us in a few months I'm either going down with Southern Louisiana or I'll flee to another extremely cool part of the globe. ;)

[Scooter24]

86. I'm hosting a party

for about 30 people. It's going to be an awesome time :)

[Robeson]

87. Excuse me! I'm a lifelong Gore supporter from Tennessee who...

...goes way back to working on his Presidential campaign in 1988, and I'm not invited!!!...x(

[RebelOne]

88. I don't care for football.

I'll be watching the Puppy Bowl on The Animal Channel.

[hyphenate]

89. I'm afraid I don't have much interest

in football, basketball or hockey. I do like baseball, but I find watching it is like watching paint dry for the most part.

I'll probably go to the movies or something--maybe cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, which I am starting to do today.

[Callalily]

90. Most definitely

will be watching vs

[livetohike]

91. Party at my house. GO STEELERS!

I love football. I haven't missed a Super Bowl yet and watch every minute, even if it is a blow out :-).

[GalleryGod]

92. Intentionally made other plans.

Starring Jonathan Pryce...an EXCELLENT antidote to Testosterone fever .

[cmf]

94. Party at our house!!! Go Hawks!

I don't even think we watched the game last year, but this year it will be on! Provided that the nasty windstorm happening right now doesn't knock out the power until tomorrow afternoon.

[sasquatch]

96. I'll be pulling for that cheapshot artist KVO myself

Don't have a choice since the Steelers are not only from the same confrence of the Bengals, but the same division as well.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

97. I am as excited as I would be over a corporate merger

I used to love professional sports when I was a kid. Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Bill Russell, Johnny Unitas, Jim Taylor, Warren Wells and many others were my idols. I loved the great teams of the Oakland A's with Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, et al.

I know that pro sports have always been big business. But when money became the raison d'etre of pro sports, that's where I gradually stopped watching ANY of it. When, for just a matter of a few dollars more, players no longer had loyalty to their teams, when teams no longer had any loyalty to players, when owners had no sense of obligation to their cities and their fans, when teams started becoming owned by multinational corporations, when agents became almost as famous as the players they represented, when salary caps, signing bonuses, and stadium deals and skyboxes became as big news as the players themselves, that's when I gradually stopped watching.

Maybe it's just middle age that has me in its grip, but I just can't get excited about pro sports anymore. Maybe it's just having lived through too many years of games-after-games. But pro sports just leaves me cold now. If the Pittsburgh Steelers announced a major business deal with the Seattle Seahawks, I wouldn't be any less or more excited about it.

(edited for spelling)

[omega minimo]

98. "Pro sports just leaves me cold now"

"Back in the day" the scene wasn't plastered with logos and players weren't turned into identical killing machines. Football is a brutal sport anyway-- it's harder for corporate slickness to squeeze all the personality and finesse out of basketball or baseball. You used to be able to SEE individual players as humans, not machines wearing a number.

TV + corporate branding + alkeehol + testosterone + jingoism + bloodsport..................................................

[Shine]

99. Nope, not my thang.

:hi:

[NJ Democrats]

101. I'll either be at home or at a friend's house

but I will be watching it!

[bikebloke]

102. I don't care for baseball

So I'll skip the Stupor Bowl. But I'm sure I won't escape the final wicket tally and who hit the puck out of the stadium.
;)

[tjwmason]

103. Sleeping.

If it were on at a reasonable time (U.K. time), I'd probably be reading whilst listening to music.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

105. Here we go, Steelers...Here we go!!!!

[Arugula Latte]

107. Foo-tball? Foo-ey!

}(

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

109. Hey, shouldn't you offer support to your Seattle neighbors...

?

[Arugula Latte]

112. Oh, all right ...

Rah. Go Seattle.

There ya go. :beer:

[Baclava]

108. HERE WE GO !!!

[scarlet_owl]

110. I will not be watching.

I might tune in to the Puppy Bowl though.

[AKPacker]

111. Oyster Sunday!

We get 3-4 dozen oysters and eat them while watching. Some good cold beer on the side and it is a perfect afternoon. :toast:

[mvd]

113. Watching at home

:hi:

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

114. And, as a PA resident, you would be cheering forrrrrrr.....

????

P.S. Hey, I cheered for the Eagles.

[mvd]

115. Well, the Seahawks never have won a SB

I know what it's like for a team in that position, being an Eagles fan. So I think I'll be for the Seahawks. And for some reason, I never have liked the Steelers much.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

117. You cut me...you cut me real deep.

:cry:

[mvd]

118. Sorry

I know how into it Steelers fans are. But you wanted to know. If the Steelers win, happy celebrating, and congrats. :hi:

On edit: thanks for rooting for the Eagles. If many in Pittsburgh were, I'll feel better about a Steelers win.

[Initech]

116. I'm planning to be in San Diego during the Super Bowl

I'll probably drink my ass off and pass out before it's over! :evilgrin:

[caty]

119. I'll watch "Midsomer Murders"

on the "Biography" channel.:popcorn:

[supernova]

120. Nope, not at all

I have less than zero interest in football.

I'll either be reading a book or watching a movie.

[El Fuego]

121. Only halftime.

[maveric]

122. My son invited over to his place to watch the game. Not a party though.

He has a 62" HDTV too.

[Benfea]

123. I neither know nor care about football

To me, the Super Bowl is just an excuse to get together with familiy and eat really bad food.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

124. where else

I'll be on DU.........................d'OH!

I don't watch or like football. I'm what you call a NERD!!!



A Democratic Nerd!!!

[Telly Savalas]

125. Of course. I don't want to miss the terrorist attack I read about in GD.

[bigwillq]

126. I'm going to my cousin's!

Big bash over there! :bounce:
