Anyone doing a Big Game party today?

Nataliesgramma — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 13:08:40 GMT

The team hubby and I follow isn't in the Super Bowl, so we are staying home.

I am not sure I will even watch it....might check the score during commercials...

Party for two - Puppy and Me! I much prefer to watch without a crowd, so much gets lost if you have to converse with others. I will have to worry about DVT today since golf starts at noon, lol! Don't worry, I'll jump on my bike during commercials.

My husband will watch just for an excuse to eat badly......I will not watch. Hate sports.

I love hosting get-togethers, and I love football. But never the twain shall meet! My family and friends that are local to where I live either do not really care for sports, or just don't understand football. They would spend the time loving the food and wanting to put music on, or asking me questions about the game every 10 seconds. No thank you. So I spend that glorious time during the game with my fur-baby and my other family & friends on social media for a virtual party! Works great!

No game party for me. Hate sports on TV and don't have them on. However, every year some of us get together for a shopping/eating trip while everyone else is home watching. A nice tradition for us.

Not here. Hate football. Don't even know who's playing. Sundays are for watching my favorite PBS shows

The game will be on, but there won't be a party.

Naw, we're not football fans. But my dh did have his annual Barrett-Jackson Car Auction watching get-together last Saturday. He always hosted this where we used to live. We now live in a new location and these guys here were thrilled with this car-guy party! They really had a great time.

Our teams are not in it so not this year. After I saw Beyoncé's new video I am now not going to even DVR it. New song is pure garbage IMO . For those that are watching I hope it is an exciting game for you to enjoy. Have fun y'all!

No reason to party here. That is only done if the local team in playing. We will watch the game though and I do enjoy watching the commercials.

IMHO, the Super Bowl or Big Game has just become another event for people (except for specific team fans) to gather and party. It has morphed into a money making event. Just like Cinco De Mayo. I never even heard of Cinco De Mayo until I was in my 40s. Now it is promoted as an occasion to gather and eat and party.

OK, I have expended my grouchiness for the day.

Nope--just the usual stuff getting ready for the new work week. Don't care about any sports so we don't watch it at all.

Going to a small family party later. My DH and I really arent into it, but since my brother invited us we will go. I have to come home at halftime since I get up at 5:30 a.m. for work.

Not my sport. When I quit my football gambling addiction years ago, I quit watching all games except? Our college team, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I never, ever even considered/consider gambling on any if their games.

I am still a recovering addict so I stick to the only game I really love, hockey.

We aren't watching, it used to be big at our house but my husband gave up football about 6 years ago. We're grilling lamb kabobs today.
