Who else is NOT watching the Super Bowl?

[seemunkee]

I'll probably watch a movie while my wife does homework. I believe I have watched a total of 1/4 of a Superbowl game from back in the early 80s when the Redskins were playing.

Not denigrating watching sports. I'll be glued to the TV for a good part of July when the Tour de France is on.

[terrya]

1. I'm not watching it

[AlCzervik]

2. not watching it either.

I'll be watching next year when the Raiders are in it.
:D

i say that every year.

[sniffa]

17. TRAITOR!!1!

x(

[lizerdbits]

3. Does it start at 9:00?

If so I'll be getting ready for bed so I can work out before going to work. Otherwise I'd watch while doing something else just to see the commercials.

[qnr]

4. What Super Bowl? Is that thing going on again? I thought they just

had one last year.

[dropkickpa]

5. Going grocery shopping

My brother's idea (big football fan, but he just doesn't care this year). Hopefully it wil be as empty as he thinks it will be, but I don't know, this is Pittsburgh, no one here really gives a shit about the game this year.

[JCMach1]

6. I am so unhooked from US sports it's not funny

sports, who cares!

[I Have A Dream]

7. Me. nt

[theredpen]

8. Fuck. The. Super. Bowl. n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear seemunkee!

Nope, not watching!

I'd rather be here...

:hi:

[supernova]

10. Not watching it

I've never watched it since I've been an adult.

I have errands to run and housework to do today. I recently go the 300 DVD. I will probably watch that tonight.

[Shine]

11. Me!! And I totally hear ya on the Tour de France thing, too.

:hi:

[seemunkee]

18. Hey Shine

:hi:
Took my first ride in 6 months today. While it was painful it was not as bad as I expected. Did 10 miles at 14.5MPH average. Got a long ways to go before I'll be ready for Death Valley but there's time and I'm getting my motivation back.

[Shine]

27. That's GREAT, seemunkee!! Good for you, bud.

your stats are very impressive, considering how long it had been. :thumbsup: You were bookin'!

When is the Death Valley ride?? How many miles?

I've got 5 wks to go to get my ass ready for the Solvang Century.

We've had soo much damn rain up here lately I haven't been able to get out on the roads for weeks. :(

I've been cross-training on the stairmaster at the gym and lifting weights, instead.

:hi:

[seemunkee]

29. Not until October, I got plenty of time

Its a century or double century. I'm only going to do 100 but its going to be a killer. First 50 are all uphill. Check the profile
http://www.adventurecorps.com/deathvalley/northernroute100.html

I started lifting again 2 weeks ago too. The new job is getting me back into a regular schedule.

[Shine]

35. Dang, the top elevation is only 3200ft??? Hell, that's nothin!

:D
shit, that's a training ride for me, here in the Santa Cruz mountains. heheh. Seriously.

4200 ft elevation gain, stretched out over 108 miles is totally do-able. I'm sure you'll do great.

Interesting that they limit the ride to only 300 riders. Do you know the reason for that? Seems pretty small to me.

I'd consider it, but it's a looong haul from my neck o' the woods and that's my daughter's 12 b'day w/e, too.

[seemunkee]

40. Maybe the park service limits the number of riders

Yeah, yeah, you West coasters and your big mountains. I expect heat and dryness to be an issue too.

[Flaxbee]

12. nope, not watching. Probably going to go for a walk,

then work on a few websites. Maybe rent a movie or two; haven't caught up on any new releases in a while. I'm much more interested in Super Tuesday than the Super Bowl!

My husband isn't a fan of televised sports, either. So we're pretty compatible that way. And I do think that there is WAY too much money and bullshit involved in pro sports, and there are some horrible domestic abuse stats surrounding the Super Bowl. I understand why people enjoy watching it, though. Not poo-poo-ing anyone's tv-watching choices, just the culture that surrounds pro sports.

[pokerfan]

41. Snopes says that's an urban myth?

[LeftyMom]

13. No tv at my house.

I could go watch it in all it's high definition glory at my Dad's, but I don't much feel like it.

[Omphaloskepsis]

14. I have to go to work at the movie theater.

The Superbowl is one of the busiest days. I don't technically work there but they keep me around to fix something if a problem pops up. I am a cheap insurance policy. It is a easy 300 bucks from petty cash.

[livetohike]

15. Not watching, but my husband thinks I'll cave in

I'm having a personal boycott of the game because I could care less which of the teams win. It's the first time I've ever felt this way in 40 years.

[ThatsMyBarack]

16. I'm nawt!!!!!

I'm wasting time on DU and stuff.

[DarkTirade]

19. The only TV in this house doesn't get TV reception

it's just hooked up to a VCR and DVD player.

[KitchenWitch]

20. Why do you want to make Baby Jesus cry?

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. DETROIT RED WINGS.

[skater314159]

54. Yeh!

THERE'S AN OCTOPUS ON THE ICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!

[EFerrari]

22. I've never watched a football game in my life.

Baseball, always. Basketball sometimes. Football, nope.

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Dunno

When is it? :shrug:

[RainDog]

24. not watching it

but will be watching a movie sometime in the near future.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

25. We are going to see a play about the last days of Che

A bunch of rich people playing with their balls entertaining a bunch of rich people who are the only ones who can get tickets is not my idea of fun.

[michaz]

26. I don't like football.

[cordelia]

28. Not me.

I'll probably be checking in here.

[Paladin]

30. And Miss "The Wire" And "Breaking Bad"?

Not bloody likely.....

[PassingFair]

31. I've been watching it for HOURS already and I'm DONE with it.

I mean, it's SUPER, but it's just a bowl.

[lightningandsnow]

32. I'm doing homework now, going to the spice girls concert later.

For reals.

[no name no slogan]

33. Me.

I don't have a horse in this race. Plus, I have a hard time watching football on TV. I usually lose interest after 15 minutes or so, and start looking for something else to do/watch.

[carly denise pt deux]

34. me...I'm not....

I am not into sports
Carly

[Lavender Brown]

36. I have too much studying to do

I shouldn't really be online but I needed a break... :boring:

[skater314159]

56. I hear ya...

This place is more fun that studying or preparing for class!

[RoadRage]

37. I'll be watching the commercials.. but when game comes on i'll find something else to do. ;) NT

[Chovexani]

38. I'm not watching the actual game.

I hate football. Just watching the commercials.

I kinda wish I had a reverse TiVo. :P

[RockaFowler]

39. Hey, Puppy Bowl IV is on

I think the puppies are even cuter than last year

[skater314159]

58. One of my friends g/f had that on...

... last year and I thought it was pretty trippy. I mean, puppies running around and frolicking on cable t.v. as an alternative to watching men run around with an inflated pig epidemis is pretty darned trippy if you think about it!

[stuntcat]

67. that's what I'm watching, Puppy Bowl IV !

:headbang:

[femmocrat]

42. I'm watching figure skating.

Repeat of Grand Prix finals, followed by Europeans. On ESPN, if anyone else in interested.

And I'm flipping to the Puppy Bowl between skaters. :-)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

46. COOL!

Ive canceled cable above basic-basic, but I still get snowy images of a couple of channels, one of which is ESPN.

Ah, there they are! I turn down the sound to get rid of the white noise roar, turn on the closed captions, and sit back.

Who needs the Super Bowl when you've got skaters to watch?

[The Animator]

43. I've never been much for sports... I'll pass.

Still sick... so I'm not doing much of anything.

[Doc_Technical]

44. I'm at work.

I'll watch it when I get home at 12:30am.

I've been watching football games on tape so long that

I can't stand watching them live.
I don't care about commercials or half time.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

45. I am proud to say that I have NEVER watched a Super Bowl

:-)

[watercolors]

47. I'm not!

I have a good book and its off to bed to read,and listen to Cris Botti's new CD. Its so relaxing to listen to.

[MrMickeysMom]

48. Just until my husband calls me for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!

Just kidding... maybe I'll watch a commercial or two. Been walking the streets for the campaigns, so I think I can take a break...

[Maestro]

49. I'm not

I really don't care about it.

[Critters2]

50. No. Been working. Just got home from a hospital visit

with a little girl with a fever of 105. Family is beside themselves. And she's SOOOO cute, and all surrounded by her fave stuffed animals and her pink Barbie blanket--but feeling lousy.

I was going to go to a movie this evening, but think I'll stay home in case the family calls.

So, haven't really been thinking about the game.

[SethInUpstateNY]

51. I'm not watching.

I've been an avid football fan for about 30 years and this is the first time I haven't watched the Super Bowl in 28 years. It probably has to do with the whole "Spygate" thing with the Patriots.

[skater314159]

52. Me. Hate football.

Especially American football.

I love hockey... but right now I'm just reading greek and posting here!

[Guava Jelly]

53. I'm not

I'm watching stump speeches from both parties and playing here.

[wain]

55. I remember when the World Series and Super Bowls were afternoon events

And the players were players, not entertainers

[coffeenap]

57. RIght here! Gonna spend time with my daughter looking on line for

cosplay costumes for ACEN*. There--about as non-superbowlish as you can get!:hi:

ACEN is the annual anime/manga convention held in Chicago every May. Gotta order the custom costumes now!

[KatyaR]

59. Nopers, haven't watched it in years.

I just finished making some chicken soup, and I have a loaf of bread coming out of the breadmaker in a few minutes. Then I need to clean up the kitchen, change the sheets, and take a shower. I'll sit down and read for a while, and then it will be time for Masterpiece Theatre. Then to bed.

I only ever watched the Super Bowl when I was invited to someone's house. Those invitations dried up years ago, and I really don't miss it. I was only there for the company, the alcohol, and the food anyway. :toast:

[mreilly]

60. Painfully, painfully, painfully dull

I am a married guy with three kids, big baseball fan, interested in skiing, biking, running and boating, but I have never been able to comprehend this country's interest in football. Watching paint dry is more interesting to me.

I go to the Superbowl parties (even having a mini-party tonight at my house with my wife and kids) but no amount of fanfare, beer, snacks, cheering, hype or anything else can change the fact that

I
find
football
so
very
very
boring.

A guy throws a ball.
A guy catches the ball.
The guy runs five feet.
The guy is tackled by ten guys.

Rinse. Wash. Repeat. Go to commercial every five seconds. Talking heads babbling endlessly about people I don't know and don't care about. Incomprehensible jargon about downs, yards, etc.

This Superbowl would be different, I thought. I live outside Boston, so of course the New England Patriots are big factor here. The wife made lots of appetizers and pizza, I drank a few beers and then watched the kickoff.

Five minutes later I was too uninterested to continue following the game, choosing to re-read the Boston Globe instead.

[triguy46]

61. Not me, I'm here. BTW, hows the recovery coming along?

[seemunkee]

62. Doing well

Finally getting my energy and will back.
Had my 6 month CT and they saw something in my lung. Very small so who knows what it is. They've seen little scars in there in the past so who knows. I'll get another in 3 months just to check on it.

[triguy46]

63. Best of luck.

[yellowdogintexas]

64. right here! Never watch it. We were at a party earlier, combination birthday for

one of the nieces and Super Bowl ..we left without watching any football.

[Ellen Forradalom]

65. Me. I'm working.

[texanwitch]

66. I am not watching.

We are at the beach watching the Puppy Bowl.

I can't think of anything more boring then watching sports.
