Title: Super Bowel
Post by: king310 on February 03, 2013, 07:40:10 am
No I spelled it correctly! It is a sad state of affairs when more people will partake in super bowl activities than election. You have to ask yourself who will affect you more?

Enough about my rant??.. :o :o

What will you be doing today during the super bowl? Some throw a big bash and are passed out before halftime.
NO Rob it is not rugbaby!! ;D ;D

I will be in my shop trying to finish organizing and watching paint dry. I will be waiting for February 24 for NASCAR.

Probably will not make it to the shop today still too cold even with the heater.  But where ever I am, I will not be watching the game. We don't follow football. I usually listen to NASCAR on the raido in the shop during the season.

I no longer watch football.  After they went on strike in the 70's, I boycotted them and have never returned.  Who says I carry a grudge?

If I watch professional "Sports" at all, I watch only the final segment.  For example, the last quarter of a pro football or basketball game, the last 3 innings of baseball, the last 20 laps of a NASCAR CUP race, etc. 

Most of the time this will take over an hour, what with time-outs, pit stops, caution flags, etc. 

I believe, but I can't prove it, that Pro Sports are fixed.  I only have a life time of personal imperical, anicdotal data to support my theory. No I don't write it down, I just have a nagging feeling.

Notice, that no matter what the score is or whoever is winning, something will happen to narrow the gap so as to result in a very close match.  This is designed to even the teams out to increase viewer watching - therefore commercial opportunities, and actual attendance at the venue.

Who is fixing the outcomes?  I donno.  But if I am not here tomorrow, you will know there is some merit in my rant.

Hi King, I don't watch your type of American football, not that I have anything against it. I just can't b***dy understand it. LOL. I don't watch UK type soccer either. Plenty motor racing though, including NASCAR. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

The Super bowl will be on my TV. I won't watch the game though, just the commercials.  ;) :D ;D

Believe it or not, that takes some training to do. I'm so used to getting up for a snack or go to the bathroom during commercials when watching a normal TV show and I do those things during the game so I can see the latest multi million dollar, 30 second ads for this game.  ;D  And, I'm sure there will be a lot of them to see too!  :D :D

I will be watching the game, normally a Packer fan however they didn't make it this year so my second team has always been the 9ers, used to live in Ca, saw Montana play his first season.  However this year I have another reason to watch, I really want Ray Lewis to lose, I believe he should be in jail for the murder he and his friends committed and bought his way out of. Sorry...had to vent!

I will most likely be out in the garage cutting/sawing/sanding/shaping/routing/gluing/doing something with wood. 

It is 27 degrees right now, expect it get close to 35 by 5 PM.  The heater works, and I will have music playing in the background.

My daughter watched the game but then again she will watch any sport.  Her favorites are, Aussie Rules football, American football and American Baseball.  And yes she is a girlie girl she hates playing any sport.  She is a conundrum.  :o  :D

Ok, I did watch it.  I taped it and when it was half over I started watching it..  The reason for that is I get to fast forward thru the commercials regardless what the id10ts pay for them.  The good ones (which there was few) I can go back and watch it.  Did you see Paul Harvey's "God made a Farmer"?  It was great.  The game?  I really think it was staged.  Ravens was running away with it so they had to slow down and let the 49er's back it as long as they won.   Did make for a better game.  :):)
