Sound-off on the Superbowl like me.

The game has become a spectacle but it has been for many years. I remember Howard Cosell drunk and vomiting on Don Merideth's expensive cowboy boots. Old Howard got pulled out of the broadcast booth more than once. Howard was interesting and entertaining but he just couldn't stay off the sauce. I recall Frank Gifford and his odd, fan-worship relationship with Evel Knievel. Their treatment of women was habitually mutual. But the halftime shows and the tv ads are bizarrely demonstrative of an increasingly sick society.

I'll watch the game on my own terms. I'll block out the ads and halftime. I doubt if New England can hang with Seatle's defense for long.

They have organized a alternate half time show,I doubt I will watch either one. I am all for keeping politics out of sports.

Since when is just coming together in solemnity honoring life for a few minutes in lieu of crass commercialism a matter of "politics?"

By the end Cosell was just a caricature of himself
As a commentator, he was lazy and provided no real insight

I’ve been to my share of Superbowl parties and found them fun. I won’t be going out for this one. The temp here in New Hampshire is 10 degrees. I have a recumbent exercise bike set up in a spare bedroom, and I will peddle it through the entire game. The game is on Peacock, and I have Peacock on a Roku TV there. I won’t be drinking any beer or eating chicken wings. When I get up tomorrow, I won’t be going to work hungover and tired. I will not watch any of the pregame hype, and I will have my TV remote handy so I can block out the sound on all that insipid TV advertising. Halftime will give me a nature break and a little rest from the exercise bike while I block it out as well. This is how I will enjoy the game because I like football, just not a lot of what comes with it these days.

I hate Super Bowl parties

Too many people who don’t care about the game, know nothing about football, only want to watch the commercials and talk through the whole game

No one asked, no one cares.

Then don’t reply dumb-ass.

 

[JimH52]

Uninspiring Super Bowl with no real star power
Half time with an artist singing in Spanish

I will watch but really don’t care who wins

The game sucked.

Great game if you enjoy punts and field goals
