Last time i watched a super bowl was 20 years ago. Personally i think it is over rated. what about the rest of you?
-
College Football is much more exciting

If you don't like Superbowl Sunday you need your man card revoked.

Plus the Who (well, at least Roger Daltry and Pete Townshend) are playing for the half time show this year!

Not saying I dont like it, just I like college football much more.

I'm not a fan of how they make the super bowl pre-game/half-time show so happy go lucky/family oriented. But I understand why they do it.
On a side note, why have pre-game shows become so long and fairly stupid. I think ESPN was running 6 hour pre-game shows for their MNF games. Is there that much to really talk about for one game? And more isn't always better when it comes to commentators. I don't need 6 guys sitting at a huge desk just repeating sports stats fed to them my statistic jockies and then them spewing their non-sense.
The only commenatators/writers I really enjoy (at least in football) are:
Dan Patrick
Peter King (for the most part)
Dr. Z
Rich Eisen
Shannon Sharpe, Warren Sapp, Michael Irvin, John Madden, Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, Jim Rome, Colin Cowherd, Steven A. Smith, Jimmy Johnson, and a few other no names I can't think of off the top of my head. Please DIAF.

I have to agree, ESPN Monday night football crew is horrible, as well as most everyone elses except troy aikman and Joe Buck. CBSs first team is alright.

Have any of you seen the crazy Prop bets on the Superbowl, like will a member of the Who smash a guitar on stage, or how many times will they show Kim K on T.V., or what color will the Gatorade be that dumped on the coach?

Overrated game is less overrated than the pro bowl.

Yeah the Pro bowl, now that's an overrated game, it's almost like touch football cause they don't want to hurt anyone.

Yep...is not fun watching the defense pretty much snap then shake hands with the O line.
-
I find watching football to be excruciatingly dull and boring. Almost as bad as NASCAR.
I mean c'mon!!
-Kickoff, some guy gets tackled
-They huddle for 20 seconds
-Then run a 5s play.
-Then they huddle for 20s again, then they call a 1 min timeout
-Commercial break.
-15s huddle
-Then run a 6s play.
-Then the referees spent 5 min reviewing said play
-Commercial break.
-Then they huddle for 20s
-Then run a 1s play which is stopped by a flag.
-Then the referees confer for 3 min about were to place the ball.
-Commercial break
-Then John Madden yabbers on incoherently for 7 min, while he scribbles on your TV screen.
-Next commercial break.
-13s huddle
-Then they run a 8s play, and someone is injured
-Then there is a 12 min medical timeout, and John Madden speaks in tongues some more.
And you've been watching the game for 45 min and only 8 min has run off the game clock with only 45s of actual action. Watching football is about 8% action, and 92% large men in tights standing around hugging, and slapping each others butts, and blabbering commentators wearing horrifically gawdy ties.
Admit it WATCHING FOOTBALL IS BOOOORIIIIIIIING!!!!! :bolt:
Although I may tune in for the halftime show cause I am a big fan of The Who, only wish they could re-animate Keith Moon for this one. :aok
-
Commercials and Buffalo Wings, I'm good
-
Have to agree commercials are way too much but that is how the NFL makes money. Commercial, kickoff, commercial, a few plays, commercial, punt, commercial...more commercials than there are plays. :P
-
If you don't like Superbowl Sunday you need your man card revoked.
:rofl :rofl I don't need a card to tell me I'm a man. I'm pretty sure as long as I still have at least one testicle I'm OK in the man department.
What if your a eunuch? Is this "man card" you speak of something they carry in lieu of certain organs they're missing.

> 80% of the worlds men (all those outside North America, and even some here like me) would disagree with you.
Explain how eating junk food and drinking beer/soda, while watching an insanely slow-paced and boring game, makes you more of a man.
Perhaps all that lack of activity, and junk food will make you a bigger man, speaking literally. :lol
I don't have a problem with football fans, just the ones who associate being Super Bowl Sunday couch potatoes with their manhood.

Well in my case my dad and I go out and throw the football around for a couple hours when we wake up, I end up going to a friends house with a few others and we do some 3v3's and 4v4s, then my dad and I normally watch the game in the hottub, not eating much at all. So in theory I lose weight not gain. TY have a nice day

I agree. it is slow move, really boring game. Running 110 mm Hurdles has more excitement.
I to have no problems with the sport but a lot ppl need to get out of there mind that it is the toughest sport. pff

Maybe not the long snapper but the vast majority of any NFL roster are physical specimens who have been in training their entire lives.

Gotta agree with him on NASCAR though. Cept for the wrecks and the last 5 laps . Its about as boring to watch as bowling.
Which is only a couple of steps up from watching golf.

Cmon...I thought you loved watching cars go 200mph in an oval 500 times...
:P

Bunch of rednecks driving driving 200 MPH in circles in a perpetual left turn does not impress me.
Now when those same cars go flying off the track with body parts scattered all over the place. Or explode into huge fireballs.
Now THATS exciting!
Now if they really wanted to make the event exciting they would put large spikes on the wheels like in the old movies with chariot races or like in the old speed racer cartoons so they could rip apart each others tires. then it'd be something to watch.
But omitting any or all of the above. The only exciting part is the last 5 laps.

:lol

Yes, but they do strength training. Hiking a month in the backcountry takes endurance training more then strength.
I work as a backpacking guide in the Wind Rivers for 11 wks every summer. I have seen guys who are completely ripped, I'm talking massive muscles. Who give out after hiking 2 miles gaining 1000 ft. with a 45lb. pack. One guy was a fitness trainer at a SLC area gym, he was hugely buff. I figured he could hike circles around me. And guess what? flabby old me hiked circles around him, he was one of the slowest, whiny-est, wimpy-est man I ever guided.
Big muscle does not equal endurance.
-
Shush you lot, its starting ;)
Only the 2nd Superbowl I've got to watch so far, should be interesting
Wurzel (Soon to be Giants Fan :x)
Oh Yeah - Go Saints (WHO DAT, uh huh, WHO DAT)(no idea what that means, but it sounds good to me!!)

Really? So far you're in first place and extending your lead.
I have a question though. You're knocking NFL players saying they couldn't handle roughing it in the wilderness for a while.
I say they're more likely to survive that than you are surviving one of their training camps. What do you think your chances are of getting through one of their training camps without having to leave early due to injury or getting cut because you couldn't hack it?
-
What a high scoring game! LOL 10-6 at the half.
-
Thought after the 1st quarter it was going to be a lopsided game (in favour of the colts).
Interesting game, despite being not a lot of scoring (like I'd know any different anyway lol....)

First place huh. What stats are you looking at? Wake up shifty, i assure you that there are a lot of them players that barley hold a 2.0 GPA. I fact, i know of one of them that played in the NFL who has a poor reading level that a close friend of mind had to tutor and read for him.
Why the hell would i want to go to training camp? Is that a important survival skill you need to survive in life? Oh, and i believe i never one said that training camp is easy. They may hack it out on the field but pull them out of that environment and into the wilderness I would past it that most of them could not determine the direction north on a cloudy day or at night. Or now how to read a topographical map. Sure, they are strong and can kick my donut but it will be comical watching them in the back country.

I'm talking about your claim that these guys couldn't hang in the back woods with you. Just because a guy plays in the NFL doesn't mean he's never had any experience in the wilderness. What makes you think that? I tell you what's really comical. You poking fun at these player's GPA when in the same sentence you can't even spell barely correctly. You're the one that needs to wake up.

The 'better team' blew a 10 pt lead
The 'better team' gave up a crucial INT
The 'better team' failed to convert a 4th down for TD
I think the better team won.

Thought it was a pretty good game, thought Colts were gonna dismember em after the first quarter - but hey ho, that shows how much I know about it.

Who dat going to beat them colts
:P
Congrats Saints, but the better team did not win today.
:rofl
Then who did? :rolleyes:
I think the colts got way outplayed, I said it all along that Manning is and was an overrated QB compared to Brees. He just had to go out and prove it to the world like he did tonight. :neener:
-
Both teams played good. Since watching the game I think on any given day the turn of the tide could go either way between these teams. Today went the way of the SAINTS, congrats Saint's fans on the super bowl win.
-
How bout them Saints? :banana:
Fun game...first time I've watched an entire Super Bowl in over 10 years.
-
I'm proud of the best Boilermaker I've ever seen play in person, Drew Brees.
-
Congrats to the Saints.... Well worth the 40 some years :aok
-
Excellent game. But where was the pass rush? near perfect O-line play on both sides with the only real mistake on the freeney sack, and that almost was just a pressure until the horsecollar.
-
Congrats Saints, glad I took them on the spread. :aok
-
It was a very good game. The last several super bowls were good games and very competitive. Thank you NFL.
The WHO was also pretty cool too. :old:
-
Last time i watched a super bowl was 20 years ago. Personally i think it is over rated. what about the rest of you?
when my team won our lombardi........I don't mind admitting I cried like a girl. I waited since 1976 for that.
I'm more a fan of the playoffs........but I thought the game yesterday was very good. anytime a coach takes a MAJOR roll of the dice (let alone two) with EVERYTHING on the line........it makes for a great game

If memory service me correctly, it was Broncos vs Giants. That was the last time i watch the super bow or any NFL game.

It was a great game!! Congrats to the Saint fans :rock. Even The WHO were impressive.
