I won't lie, I really don't like football. Berate me all you want, I just don't get it. First off the game itself is way too long, I won't even watch movies that long. I hate how they make a play, stop, measure crap, and start again. My attention span is lost very quickly. Yes, I have "celebrated" the Super Bowl many a drunken times, in my younger years. Although I never caught any of the game. My husband is an avid football fan, and has tried many a times to explain how majestic football is, I still don't get it. So I won't be one of the millions watching this Sunday. Am I alone on this?
Here is some interesting Super Bowl info.
- Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest U.S. food consumption day, following Thanksgiving. (I wonder what beer consumption is?)
- On average, 80 to 90 million Americans are tuned into the Super Bowl at any given moment.
- In 1991 New Kids on the Block were the half time show, I heart NKOTB.
- In 2009, 30 seconds of advertising time cost U.S. $3 million due to the extremely large audience
Hmmmm....what if we took all those millions and put it into our failing economy, instead of air time? Recession problem solved!
Even though its not my cup of tea, I hope everyone has a happy Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow.

I hate the superbowl too. it is only nice because its a reason to get together with friends and have a party. my least favorite part of it this year is that my vegetarian bf is trying to use 'tradition' as an excuse to eat chicken wings on sunday =(
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that defeat the purpose of being a vegetarian...lol. Men are so funny.
ReplyDeleteThat's Great!
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not alone. I hate the Stuperbowl and I will not be watching. This is the time of year I'm grateful to be divorced. No one in my house will be raring to watch it.
ReplyDeleteHa, Stuperbowl , I love that. Yes, luckily my hubby won't be here, so I won't even have to tune it out.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found a place where I can share my feelings about that too! I guess I don't quite get the point of the Superbowl. Just another excuse to overeat and watch TV. I am looking forward to watching the President Obama interview on NBC prior to the game though!
ReplyDeleteAmen, sistah!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo...
ReplyDeleteHi there suweat cheecks, chicks, whatever. My wife went out to the thrift store and bought her...first Super Bowl. My brothers told me I should watch my first Super Bowl on Sunday and I would have a blast. Well I went out and bought some beer and potatoo chips and sat down with the first Super Bowl on the cocktail table...(I don't serve coffee so it is a cocktail table). I watch the first Super Bowl of my life and was board out of my mind. I was wondering why we couldn't just watch tv or go get a pizza so that I could look at the chicks prancing around in there skimpy stuff???
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with watching a first Super Bowl? I faked it and said..."Wow! Look at that green ring around that 14" first Super Bowl! It's great for salad and stuff but what the phuff?

You are not alone! My husband who never watches any sports is forcing the Superbowl on me today and I just hate it! So I Googled "The Superbowl Sucks" and this is how I found you:) I agreed with EVERYTHING you wrote.
ReplyDeleteAs a huge football fan I see the super bowl as an ending to the season topped-off with this specticle, it's not even a real game to me. Just get it over so I can celebrate the beginning of this year's season. I do celebrate the start of preseason; really.
