The official I'm WAY too hip to watch the Super Bowl thread.

[11 Bravo]

Play amongst yourselves.
(The rest of us will be watching the game.)

[NightWatcher]

1. Whatevs

[Revanchist]

2. I'm three courses away from finishing my Master's

I'll watch the game next year.

[WinkyDink]

3. I'm three courses away from finishing my dinner!

Heh--Did that old Master's thang oh, about 40 years ago!

[monmouth4]

4. Don't think I'm hip at all. Prefer to view something else (Downton Abbey) and I'm not alone..n/t

[MohRokTah]

27. I DVRed Downton.

We'll watch it tomorrow.

[NuclearDem]

5. MLP marathon. It's off Netflix tomorrow.

[Luminous Animal]

6. Why is hating football hip? This post makes no sense to me.

[Aerows]

7. I'm watching it, sort of

and playing on my phone. I'm mostly munching on delicious chunks of heavenliness.

But yeah, Go Patriots!

[MillennialDem]

8. PC games are far more entertaining.

[mmonk]

9. I'm a bitter Green Bay Packers stockholder.

I prefer to watch paint peel.

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. I kicked my Wife's ass out this morning and told her I'd be filing for divorce.

She said she wanted to watch the game.

It sickens and saddens me that this most vulgar display of bloodsport is so important to a nation of people whose futures have been mortgaged to the point their next meal is in doubt.

I've already closed all the blinds, now I'm getting ready to trip the main circuit breaker and turn ALL the power off so there is no possibility of my being exposed to this travesty of income inequality wrapped around a pagan fertility ritual whose main symbol is shaped strikingly like the egg from which we all came.

Once the power is off and my home goes dark, I'm going to hide my head under my pillow so as to be prepared for the off chance that a neighbor might be enticed to exclaim some kind of misguided joy during the "game".

Filth.

[NuclearDem]

13. Well played.

[Fred Sanders]

14. Why not just take the misses out for an nice dinner?

[cherokeeprogressive]

15. 1 - I refuse to be seen in public with ANYONE who would watch a moment of the SB.

2 - I refuse to put myself in a situation where I might have to drive by a business window where the game is being shown, or hear, wafting on the breeze, a single word spoken by Al Michaels or Chris Collinsworth.

Nnnnnnope. I prefer to crawl into bed and put my head under the pillow.

Excuse me, I've got to go trip the circuit breaker now.

[Initech]

17. You can't blast a sport for income inequality and be a fan of a team with a $229 million payroll.

Kinda hypocritical there, just saying.

Or if you are being sarcastic -

[cherokeeprogressive]

19. Sarcasm.

And for the record, I've been a fan since I knew what professional sports was... through thick and thin, good and bad, Fox ownership, Eric Davis, Milton Bradley (I was there the night he melted down) and all the rest.

No fair weather fan here.

[Initech]

21. I'm an Angels fan and I've definitely known about the horrors with the Dodgers owners.

You can definitely say that every team has gone through crap involving the owners. My team was owned by Disney, and then sold it to a guy who changed the name to most ridiculous team name in sports.

[cherokeeprogressive]

22. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim doesn't appeal to you? LOL.

Besides, I thought Angels Fans loved Artie Moreno.

[Initech]

24. Depends on which fans you talk to.

He's done a lot of good for the team but he's also overpaid a lot of players and signed a couple of incredibly overrated players to some completely absurd contracts (*COUGH* Josh Hamilton *COUGH*). So either people love him or hate him, there really isn't an in between.

[cyberswede]

11. My husband and son are watching. I shall avert my eyes.

[Initech]

12. I'll let Weird Al have the final say on the Super Bowl:

[2naSalit]

31. Works for me!

I like weird Al.

[Blue_In_AK]

16. It's not just the super bowl,

it's professional football all season. We never watch. My husband is a fan of college ball, but I'm not interested in any of them except the Ducks.

[Rex]

18. I see people are bored at the DU.

The Super Bowl is so a few hours ago, try and keep up with the rest of us thanks.

[11 Bravo]

20. We are bored, but we all perk up when someone who ...

professes to be uber bored shows up to remind us of what small and unthinking people we truly are. Thanks.

[MohRokTah]

23. The Superbowl is a uniquely American event.

Some hate it.

I see a correlation here.

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. Really? Strange... I don't.

[Spider Jerusalem]

34. "Don't like the Super Bowl? Why do you hate America?"

Protip: Liking football isn't patriotic.

[MADem]

26. We watched it--it was more exciting than I thought it would be... nt

[99Forever]

28. WAY too hip?

Nah, just uninterested.

Is that okay with you?

[dissentient]

29. It has nothing to do with "being hip", I just find football really boring to watch

and also it's one of those wildly popular things that I am indifferent to, or actively dislike, such as Justin Bieber, the Twilight movies, and other dumb trends that pop up now and then.

I understand that many American's are fascinated by it, and the tribal stuff really gets people going, rooting for their team, but to me, it is a total waste of time.

[2naSalit]

30. All the more room out on the highway for MEEEE!!

I can drive crazy as a loon and nobody will know it!!!

[VScott]

32. The genually hip people watch real futball

not some American, corporate sponsored bastardization of "the beautiful game".

Personally... I have zero interest in either, but given a choice, I'd have to rank soccer right up there
(excitement wise), with professional belt sander racing...

[Violet_Crumble]

33. I'm so hip I didn't even know what sport was being played...

I thought it was baseball. It's not. It's that other weird game where they pack on so much padding they can't do much but run short distances slowly and stand around and sometimes throw a ball around. Not that I'm a sports fan but give me real football any day...

[ChosenUnWisely]

35. The truly hip don't have to post they are hip

Just sayin

[lovemydog]

36. It was a joke.

Read the rest of the original post.

Welcome here by the way. Have fun!

[ChosenUnWisely]

37. Oh a joke, ok is fun manditory or something becasue I do not like forced fun

[lovemydog]

40. It's not mandatory.

Have a good day.

[RandiFan1290]

38. Aww, you guys are so delicate

Can't take a little criticism of your silly game?

[FrodosPet]

39. I'm WAY too broke to watch the Super Bowl

I drove all night in the blizzard, listening to the game, wishing I was at a friend's house eating wings and drinking hard cider.

Why couldn't it have been a lame game with a halftime act I did not care about seeing? LOLOL!

[City Lights]

41. I am not "way too hip" to watch.

I just don't care for football. Why that offends so many here is a fucking mystery to me.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

42. Yo, I'm here!!!

I consider myself hip in some areas.

Avoided it all day.
Didn't bother me a bit. I call it the Stupor Bowl.
