Not watching it either. I don't have TV reception, but even if I did I don't watch team sports. I have watched the Puppy Bowl on the Animal Planet channel.:p

I only watch the NBA. I'm glad this is over with -- more attention to basketball... I've tried before, but football is so boring. Time-out and stoppage of play every 5 seconds.

I don't have TV reception either, so I couldn't watch it if I wanted to. You wouldn't believe all the people that literally go crazy over the game, or just football in general. I remember one year a guy was stabbed at a game for cheering for the team opposed to the seats he was sitting in. It was like that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine wears the Orioles hat. People take it so seriously..lol. They jump up, scream, throw things at the TV, etc. I'd be going OK....whatever. No skin off my nose.

I am watching. I passed on the half time show though. Last good half time band was over a decade ago when The Rolling Stones played.

I feel the same way about the half-time shows lately. People said earlier that Lady Gaga did a good job singing, but her awkward dance routine was stiff. Maybe she should lay off the calisthenics in her performances. Every year they have someone I could care less about.

After the Black Eyed Peas performed at the halftime show, any other act is considered good.

The Stones probably were the last ones I like to put on a good halftime show. I know the Who and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers played subsequent shows, but I never saw them.

I did watch that, but I had my mom tell me when the halftime show started. I want to say John Fogerty played one too? I recall watching that as well but not the actual game.

Sports are just as valuable as any other social activity.

Was that one any good? And I just looked at a list of half-time shows throughout the years, and nope, John Fogerty or CCR never played. Paul McCartney did play either a year after or before the Stones did...I think I remember that one.

Was Tom Petty good?! Um... it's Tom Petty. Of course he was good.
John Fogerty played the 2005 Superbowl. Maybe not the halftime show? It was a big a televised football game.

I wonder why they didn't list him (Wiki). Maybe he played a short set.

Maybe it wasn't the halftime show but something associated? I know he played some big televised football thing.

I figured it out. It wasn't the Super Bowl. It was just a Thanskgiving day game.

Raises hand.
Although I did catch the commercial with Martha Stewart and Snoop Dog. Was the joke intentional - she's offering him various things from the kitchen and he's saying "no" to each item. Then she offers him a "Can of Bisque" and Snoop says "Maybe."
"Can of Bisque" sounds like Cannabis. Are they actually doing pot jokes?

Is the Super Bowl tonight? I guess that explains why the supermarket was jam packed this afternoon, but the restaurant was empty tonight.

Hey, maybe that's why people often mistake me for being North Korean. ;)

Is it because the Falcons never won a Superbowl?

I finished watching a film the night it was on so that was about 1ish in the morning, decided to turn the BBC1 television channel on to see the News but it wasn't on and it was showing the Super Bowl instead, decided to watch the last 15 minutes of the game to see what it was like and was sitting there a million hours later waiting for the quarter to end and then the only time I ever watch it, the thing goes into overtime and apparently a super bowl game has never gone into overtime... I was willing for that team to finally cross that line and end it. Was really trying not to fall asleep because I wanted to see what it was like to see them get the trophy, and then it took forever for everyone in the world to kiss it with some man walking along saying mother ****er. Fabulous. :D

I admit, I stopped watching when it was 0 - 21. Next thing I know, the Pats won, just the way it was supposed to happen.:D
Congrats Cricket i forgot to say :up:
I really don't care enough to hate the Patriots like everyone on the internet except you seems to. The only reason i wanted the Falcons to win was because the Patriots win all the time. It gets boring quickly for me in sports i only mildly (if at all) care about.
Think i'm going to join Raul as a Packers fan though since green and white :cool:. That's why i started supporting the Boston Celtics as a kid and now i'm a diehard :love:
All I have to say is, I hope they checked the air in the football :D
Good for you Cricket, but Boo Patriots!

Who do you support in every sport?
Football - Celtic
Hand-Egg-Ball - Packers
Basketball - Celtics
Baseball - Dodgers (that's the team with Clayton Kershaw right? If it is then them, if it isn't then whatever team that has him coz i only care about Pitching and he's the best)
Tennis - Nadal/Azarenka (both pretty pathetic now :() All time - Nadal/Henin

Actually, when I heard it was 28-3, then as close as 28-20, I turned it on.. I avert my eyes off the TV and saw the touchdown. And OT was crazy as well. Probably the longest I ever watched. Too many stops, time-outs, replays, etc etc.. It's why I love the NBA -- highest scoring game, free-flowing (most of the time).
