I'm not watching the Superbowl .. join me.

[thunder rising]

If the commercials are any good they will be replayed (forever).

And the sun will rise on Monday morning.

Just go out to eat or bowling or read a book or come here and rant or something else

Just don't turn on that TV.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

1. I haven't watched a superbowl since 1998

Doubt I'll start now.

[Rebel Scum]

44. Same here.

I could care less about pro football, or sports in general.

[KamaAina]

2. The sun will rise over the Mississippi that Monday morning

if and only if the Saints pull it off. :scared:

Actually, I will join you in not watching, for if the Dolts so much as convert a third and 7 from their own 32 in the first quarter, I'd throw a brick through my brand-new flatscreen!

[thunder rising]

3. Our little unrec trolls are out tonight ... must be disappointed by the verdict the other day.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. That post got you an unrec. Just a habit of mine to unrec unrec complaints.

Oh, and this father of a gay daughter will be watching the game. I don't care about the politics, and I DON'T care about the commercials. I loves me some football though.

Good luck with your boycott. I support ya, but next Sunday, I'll support the Colts more.

[thunder rising]

32. cherokeeprogressive ... easy enough to remember.

Just a habit of mine.

[11 Bravo]

61. Oooooh! Cue the ominous and vaguely menacing background music!

[elocs]

60. Add me too. I UnRec threads with UnRec whiners, just on principle.

I am not a fan of any team, but enjoy watching football. I haven't watched the Super Bowl in years. It's just a game no matter how much DU likes to shape everything into some big left-right face-off.

[Obamanaut]

73. Add me too. I unrecced at post #49 earlier today. n/t

[existentialist]

4. Done.

I promise. I won't be watching the superbowl either.

[fishwax]

5. I like the Super Bowl

But I hope you enjoy your time otherwise spent :)

[NYC_SKP]

6. That's a great day to go shopping for non-food and non-alcoholic things.

Just a tip, Target and such stores are pretty quiet.

Me, I'll do some yardwork.

Never watch it.

Now if they'd allow them to show the cheerleaders, I might watch an occasional game.

:P

[BolivarianHero]

19. Alcohol = Good

As I have a few drinks, smoke a fatty, and play some guitar hero with friends :Dq

[AndyA]

7. I won't be watching, either.

Don't much care for professional sports. The players are spoiled, rotten rich assholes who know nothing about sportsmanship.

The abuse dogs and women and drugs, and they're supposed to be role models for others.

No thanks. And the network censors deciding what's appropriate and what's not based on their own hate puts it way over the line. I'll pass.

[gimama]

9. I posted on another sb boycott thread

that I haven't watched pro sports since we went to war.
So YES! I'll join YOU, in NOT spectating.:hi:

[d_b]

10. joined

[Th1onein]

33. WHO IS THAT GUY IN YOUR PICTURE?

And what is that black stuff on his upper left arm?

[d_b]

77. why that's shogun rua

and those are his tattoos

[PassingFair]

11. When are they playing?

Only partially kidding...

[ginnyinWI]

15. no, when ARE they playing?

I have no idea, except that it is usually on a Sunday around this time of year...

(nobody here likes football)

[napi21]

12. I want to see the Saints WIN! I may channel surf a bit, but

I still feel bad for NO because of how Shrub ignored them, and I don't have to watch the stupid ad your complaining about. One dimwit with an ad I don't like is not going to dictate what I want to do.

If I ignored every show with an ad I don't like, I'd never turn my TV on.

[mrs_p]

13. sorry, can't

NOLA!!!!

[donheld]

14. Only super bowl I know contains Ice Cream.

[bluescribbler]

24. +1

DUZY

[DefenseLawyer]

16. I'm not telling other people what they should be doing... join me. n/t

[emilyg]

28. +1

[BolivarianHero]

17. Too apathetic to rec or unrec...

Like the NHL, don't care about football much, have some ideological issues, but an unrec or rec would fail to caputre my sentiments.

[old mark]

18. I thought I might this year because NO is playing, but I have not watched

one for several decades and I probably won't watch this one. I really can't stand the hype. It's just a football game, after all, and I really hate all the advertising crap. We have several movies coming from Netfliks, and might just take a drive in the country as well.

I am an Eagles fan, and I didn't even watch when they played the Pats a few years ago.

I just don't like superbowls.
rec.
mark

[PacerLJ35]

20. I'm watching because my team (N.O.) is playing for the first time in 43 years...

I could give a crap if there's an ad on that I disagree with...I'll just...disagree.

[pipi_k]

63. Not my team, but...

I'm sporting their logo in my avatar and rooting for them to kick some serious Peyton Manning ass.

Yeah, I wanna see him blubbering and dripping snot all over the field...


:7

[grantcart]

21. OK whats your address? I'll be there with some other DUers at around 11:00

[lutherj]

22. I don't have a TV. Guess I won't be watching. Rather listen to music anyway. nt

[rrneck]

23. Done. nt

[Qanisqineq]

25. I would only watch

if my Vikings were in it. But, of course, they are not. :cry: My mom was really hoping they would make it this year for my grandpa. He is 97 yrs. old and a huge Vikings fan. Leaves church early so he can be sure to see them. He wanted to be able to watch them in the Super Bowl once in his lifetime. Probably will never happen.

[Morning Dew]

56. The Vikes have been in four Super Bowls. nm

[Qanisqineq]

78. but my grandpa didn't get to see them

I didn't say they had never been in a Super Bowl

[grahamhgreen]

26. I will not watch! But then again, I never do... Bike ride, anyone?

[neverforget]

27. I'm going to watch and I don't give a damn about Tebow.

He's an over-hyped quarterback and his politics sucks. His 30 second commercial is crap but it's not going to ruin watching the Saints win. :)

As you said, the sun will rise Monday even if the Saints lose. :(

[Kceres]

29. There is always the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.

With a kitten half time. Puppies and kitties!!!

[rox63]

64. That's what I'm watching

Puppies & kittens. Plus, I hear they'll have bunnies cheering from the sidelines this year. :)

[vanlassie]

80. MeeToo!!!

[last_texas_dem]

30. I never do, mostly 'cause I don't care anything about football.

I've found that during the Super Bowl is a great time to catch a movie at a theater if you're so inclined. The tiny (or nonexistent) crowd can't be beat!

[mwb970]

36. No interest here either.

I don't think I've ever watched a football game all the way through. And I live in Columbus and attended OSU for five years! It just holds no interest for me, and I don't care about the outcome, so I don't watch.

I do love the "deserted city" effect you mention for shopping, movies, etc. The same thing happens here during OSU games.

[emsimon33]

31. I agree. Let's censor CBS!

[WVRICK13]

34. I'll Join You

I have never watched a Super Bowl game, why start now.

[CBR]

35. I will be watching and rooting for the Saints. nt

[spiritual_gunfighter]

37. Screw that

Go Saints!

[timtom]

38. Well, down here in West Palm Beach

we won't be watching the Superbowl, either.

In fact, I've never watched. I now know that I'm not a real man.

[Edweird]

39. Eh, no interest in football.

I might go to a party just to hang out - so no promises.

[muriel_volestrangler]

40. You seem to judge the worth of a sporting event on the commercials it attracts

It's a bizarre attitude, if you ask me. Your reasons for not watching the superbowl don't seem to have anything to do with football. You don't even seem to be saying that the acceptance/rejection of the ads by CBS is the problem you have with them; it's that you've worked out that watching a TV show just for its adverts isn't really worth it.

[tanyev]

41. I look forward to Super Bowl Sunday--best day of the year for dinner and a movie.

[Courtesy Flush]

42. No way. I'm from Louisiana.

I'm not a sports fan, and I have to have the game explained to me by my wife, but we've waited a lifetime for this, and I'm watching! Louisiana is really charged up about this.

[struggle4progress]

43. Superbowl? What's a superbowl? What's super about it? Why would anybody watch a bowl?

[DRoseDARs]

45. I don't buy anything from the Mars Inc. after their violently homophobic ads in 07 and again in 08.

The one they aired during the Superbowl in '07 was tame compared to the ones on the Snickers website that showed alternate endings. Those were utterly appalling. Then they ratcheted it up in 08 by having Mr. T mock-gun down an effeminate man in the street. That one they aired on TV.

No Snickers, no M&Ms, no Skittles, no Dove icecream, no Twix, no Milky Way bars. The list goes on of the products they make that I miss but refuse to give them money for.

[HipChick]

46. When is it? I don't understand football anyway..

the only thing I follow is soccer,cricket and rugby..American football always seems like a poser game with all that padding...I'd only watch to look at tight butts

[RainDog]

47. I never watch the superbowl

it's BORING.

american football is boring. no cute butts in short shorts, like real football. no improvised dance down the court like basketball.

[Enthusiast]

48. I understand the anger directed at CBS.

I share that anger.

But I'm pissed off at CBS every day of every week all year long. Same with the other networks because they are essentially unfair in their news coverage.

But I think American football is THE greatest sport ever. So I must watch.

And I love The Who. But I'm still very sad about the loss Of John Entwistle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=594WLzzb3JI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zufuNr1GBYI

[Obamanaut]

49. Avoid WalMart also. That will stop them both.

Actually, it won't.

Unrec for post 3, complaining about unrec.

[dems_rightnow]

50. Love the Super Bowl

Will watch.

[igfoth]

51. No Super Bowl nor no CBS

Won't watch the Super Bowl nor CBS. I let them know but doubt they will care.

[shadowknows69]

52. Also not watching. Who is playing again?

[Mari333]

53. lucky for me, I dont watch sports anyway!

[Mendocino]

54. I think the last sports I watched on TV

were the 94 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.

[Mad_Dem_X]

55. I'm not watching one second of it.

As you said, Any memorable commercials will be played again. I am not supporting CBS at all.

[ThatsMyBarack]

57. Already there.

[blondeatlast]

58. Probably won't, but I don't fault anyone who does. nt

[bikebloke]

59. When is the Stupor Bowl?

Shows how much I follow. But I know that Ghana will play Egypt in the African Cup.

[proud2BlibKansan]

62. We host a Super Bowl party as our county Dems major fundraiser every year

So yes, I will be watching.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

65. I will not be watching the Superbowl today. It's *next* Sunday.

[hack89]

66. No - I enjoy the time spent with friends and family. nt

[slackmaster]

67. K&R - I plan to go to the beach this afternoon

Recent storms have peeled back a lot of the sand, and there will be a -1.5 foot low tide about 4:00.

[Bluenorthwest]

68. To me, a super bowl

is something to smoke.

[Hepburn]

69. Maybe the other sponsors should know that their ads are being...

...ignored because of the lying bullshit from Tebow's mother?

[Mudoria]

70. Never miss the Super Bowl

This year will be no different.

[AwakeAtLast]

71. I live near Indianapolis - sorry can't join you.

GO COLTS! :kick:

[LatteLibertine]

72. I'm a member of the Who Dat Nation :D

I will be watching the Super Bowl. The Saints and what they mean to New Orleans is about a lot more than football.

[Feron]

75. +1

Nothing will stop me from watching the Saints!

[Ex Lurker]

82. + infinity n/t

[greenbriar]

74. Rooting for the Saints and having lots of people over

I LOVE the superbowl


(would love it even more if my Chiefs were ever in it again)

[rollin74]

76. actually I'm looking forward to this one

sorry, I'll be watching

my heart says Saints... but I'm taking the Colts -5.5.

[Luciferous]

79. I wasn't planning on watching it anyway

[KonaKane]

81. No problem. I hate football anyway.

zzzzt.
