I will probably be the only one in the world not watching the Super Bow. I may watch half-time. I am not a big fan of football. I love hockey and baseball. Any one else not watching?

I don't like football very much myself - and back in the day I dated an NFL linebacker!

Even in the 80s, it was a butal, nasty game.

The closer I got to it, and the more I got to see the injuries, the less I enjoyed it.

I'll be watching the pre-game show starting at 3PM. A friend of mine was interviewed by CBS Sports for a piece they are doing on the Buffalo Bills team from 25 years ago...she was interviewed in front of her business - a fan segment.

Hah!  I asked my one daughter who will be watching to let me know when the half-time show is on because I love Bruno Mars (but I'll probably be asleep by then anyway).

I used to hate football, then I moved near an NFL team.  I was the only one in the office that didn't know what was going on.  I decided I needed to up my game and learn more about it.  I can't say I love it, but have learned to like it.  The local team isn't in the super bowl, but I still plan to watch.  I guess I caved due to peer pressure.

Nope, you're not alone. I couldn't care less, but DH will be watching!

For me it will be Dateline and Downton Abbey. I don't even understand football.

I'm quite certain that I'm the only person in the state of CO who can't stand football and only knows there is a Super Bowl today because people are wearing the Denver team colors and talking about it wherever I go. Yawn. Not interested in the least. And very proud of that fact!

 

And yes, Downton watching for me tonight, too!

I will watch a little of the game, and all of the half-time.
