I've never watched a single Super Bowl. |
|
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 10:31 AM by BurtWorm
I've watched whole World Series, whole NBA championship series, even a World Cup Final and several Stanley Cup finals. I grew up in New England and I don't care who wins this year.
Thank you for listening.

You're just too excited about Nascar starting again to even think about the Super Bowl, right? :)

4. I'm a sports fan, but haven't watched in years |
|
I guess I just like to be different, though I'm tempted to DVR it and watch just the commercials.

5. If I'd known there would be a wardrobe malfunction last year |
|
I might have tuned in for the halftime show.

And this coming Sunday, my choir will be singing evensong in the afternoon, so I'll be 39/39. Not that I'd watch the Superbowl even if I were free.
I'm fine with people watching football, but treating this particular game as some cosmic event that no American male dare miss is a triumph of media brainwashing.

8. That's twice in two days I've been asked that! |
|
I'd better do some self-criticism.

10. Get with the program, BurtWorm! |
|
Or you could soon find yourself in Gitmo. We'd miss you.

11. Do they have a computer tent at Gitmo? |
|
I'd try to be a good little enemy combatant so I would have Internet privileges. :think:

And likely never will. Only good thing about them is the new commercials. How pathetic is that?

12. You haven't missed anything. |

Wasting all of those hours watching football wouldn't have changed anything in your life.
I've only watched little pieces of the games while at parties over the years. It's just a dumb game.

14. You mean you don't UNDERSTAND the game... |
|
Understandable. Because to know it and not like it is...well...frankly un-American.

15. OK, I admit I don't know all of the rules of football |
|
by the way, I don't consider "un-american" to be a bad thing necessarily. :-)

Like Flag Burning I support. As I do contesting bullshit elections. And stupid wars. And Tom DeLay. Right there with ya.
But FOOTBALL...ya gotta love it. Where do you live, anyway? Who is your neighbor's team?

17. I'm in Virginia, so it's the Redskins. Not so hot from what I hear. |
|
Of this weekend's game my closest team geographically is Philadelphia. But as I said, I don't care.
