to go with your snacks and beer.

But as I have never watched a super bowl I don't think I will start now at the stage of my life. Have a dram of Jamesons for me.

It would require me to first watch one.

because I love DU

I'm not sure what is on the menu yet.

they were dead to me.

Stupid McCarthy.

Enjoy... I would be if that hadn't happened, all ball jokes aside.

Come on down.

I appreciate the offer. I think I'm going to watch it at home with my family though.

in Scottsdale - a 3 mile drive my home. Roads are already being closed around this event. Hotels are filled and restaurants are busy which means money for us little people.

I've just never been interested in football.

Sadly, it has impacted my two older boys socially as they have little to converse with other boys about, since their interest is not in the sport everyone else in their school is obsessed with.

Enjoy the game!

Oh who am I kidding??

I haven't missed a Super Bowl in 30 years. Why start now??

But I will still watch the Puppy Bowl. Just love those little guys. And NBC will air 6 hours of nonsense before the game even starts!!

I don't understand the obsession with watching milliionaires in pretend teams "representing" cities play a violent game that enriches billionaires.

But have fun!

Why is it an obsession? What do you like to do? let me guess--- Museum? Theater? Music? Reading Tolstoy over and over?

You must like something? Tell me what it is and I'll be sure to label it an obsession.

I like sports--- I like the sport of American Football. I like eating Chicken Wings, good beer while I watch the sport.

Is it an obsession--- I don't know? Is doing what you do an obsession---I don't know?

Oh---and sorry you don't watch Movies on the big screen or at home--- those actor millionaires must really mess it up for you.

I have my own obsessions to be sure!

I DO think the NFL is a problem. Cities socialize investments into massive stadiums to enrich private parties. Hundreds and thousands of young men experience permanent brain injuries in their quest to catch that shiny brass ring of fame and fortune.

Oh, and let's not forget... the NFL is a non-profit "professional organization." Yeah, right!

I don't have a problem with people getting rich. I do have a problem with people getting rich with taxpayer help.

All those parks paid for by tax payers so kids can get out and have fun playing a sport....

National Endowment for the Arts

And yeah.... brain injuries are FUN!

No boxing? Rugby maybe?

Enjoy your celebration of violence and corporatism. I do like chicken wings!

You go enjoy your kale.

I'm really a meat and cheese sort of guy.

pot roast gave no indication as to their politics.

FWIW, I don't like kale.

A guy who has been here since 2001 going after progressives.

Ya got me!

The Secret Dark Side Of Kale

.. though I still have no idea what it has to do with our disagreement.

Duh....

might even have a toke and a beer if the notion hits me just right.

You will also no doubt be expelled from the "Ultra Progressives Youths Obediently & Unanimously Ridiculing Sports" (AKA: UP YOURS)

I'll be joining you. I've watched every game starting in '67, and see no reason to stop now.

Its the last to be picked crowd who usually crows the loudest.

Helluva game.

Just so you know, it's possible to have known and loved football and move on once you're familiar with what it does to the people who play it. And this decision does not preclude the enjoyment of many other sports that do not resemble a series of staged human car accidents.

Oops.

I'd rather watch paint dry.

Well, not actually joining you, but we have a big Super Bowl Party we attend.

Smoked Ribs
Smoked Chicken wings
Smoked Bologna
Seafood (crab legs, shrimp, scallops)
Lamb
(all the veggies and fixings)
plus Chili!!

I'm not a patriots fan or a seahawks fan but I always watch the Super Bowl!

and, the best......Moonshine Surprise! Or, Beer. lol!

I just love the buzz and vibe of the day.

well, kind of. sister and husband fuss on their phones while dad and i watch the game. i think we'll do wings and baked potato skins for eats this year and, of course, beer.

i'm not rooting for seattle, i'm rooting against new england, though.

NFL Draft weekend is our Super Bowl. Full of hope and promise which is then crushed by the regular season.
