anyone else as not excited for tonight's game as i?

[Haputanlas]

Same here. We don't have TV service ( just Netflix, etc through the Xbox) so I didn't even know who was playing

They are streaming it live for free this year. All you need is internet.

Since the niners lost I don't care either. Im not really into watching rematches for big games. I didn't watch the college championship for the same reason. I find in more entertaining to watch the ships in the river right now compared to the giants and patriots.

As a California transplant and a niner fan I feel its my duty to go for the pats. Other than that I think the Giants should feel lucky they were given this gift from Kyle Williams.

 

[KayaBrew]

Too bad we all live so fart apart. We could have an awesome anti-Super Bowl party and get smashed on home brew!

I thought it was Green Bay instead of the Giants prior to today, and I have no idea and don't care who Kyle Williams is...

Maybe you should start a thread "Let's debate who's lucky to be in the Superbowl"? I'm guessing you'll have a more lively discussion.

Lets see, we have a couple of guys from
Ma, .... must be relocated Jets fans
Minn... Do they even have a NFL team.??
Ill....Who must like figure skating.
And a Eagles fan.. No worry,Andy Reid has it all figured out.
But i am EXCITED..... GO BIG BLUE

just for nailing both my home state and the state i grew up in, i'm gonna have to pull for the Pats tonight.

I just came on here to start a post I was going to call "I don't give a sh*t about the Super Bowl, Madonna, or commercials".

Oh, and none of this matters, because I don't even have a TV!

oh man, i miss those days. now that i have kids in the house, i'm required to have a television.

Game? What game?

i feel your pain, Yoop. although we probably wouldn't agree on whom, but i think we can both agree the NFC could have a better representative here.

Love me some hockey.

need me some hockey!

I just hope it's a compelling enough game to actually enjoy.

me too... so far, not too bad. can't complain about a safety and single digit scores as the half winds down.

I will say I am really glad Tim Tebow's not in it, so there's one level of annoyance we don't have to deal with.

oh man, you n me both. I'm sure he's a great kid and all, but man, has he gotten on my last nerve.

wow, i really didn't think people would respond to this. i was finishing my coffee this morning and watching ESPN. it made me want to go back to bed. so i decided to share my thoughts. then i went out to get some new fish for one of my aquariums ( i got a cytotilapia demasoni and a lace fin synodonis for those into fishkeeping), came home and whipped up an extract batch of german alt. decide to see what's goin' on here and it seems that i'm not alone in the 'meh, it's a football game.' camp.

here's to homebrew!!

As a Jets fan this game is salt in the wound. The Patriots back in the Superbowl again. Giants fans bashing us. Sucks.

Also, the half time show with Madonna is atrocious. Just awful. Half time shows should be all rock bands - seriously, Madonna?

 

[hopheaded]

Russian river has released pliny the younger...so my superbowl is in their brew pub with a couple of those. Cheers gentlemen, football never felt so good.

Horrible. I've officially switched over to NHL Tonight. No desire to injure my eyes and brain anymore.

I totally agree, why the hell isn't Megadeth or one of the other big rock acts currently on tour doing the halftime show?! Is Madonna seriously their idea of pumping up the crowd?

 

[Darwin18]

She fell down!!! Hahahaha. I hope she didn't break a hip....

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

nice! now i'm wishing i wasn't watching hockey highlights.... nah, it'll be all over ESPN!

 

[craigger64]

New Jersey (sorry NY, but Jersey's Jersey) vs. Boston?

the Patriots play in Foxboro, which is actually farther from Boston than Jersey (at least the part where the Giants play) is from New York. Just saying.

 

[amc22]

Eli mvp!

 

[brew2enjoy]

Pretty boring Superbowl. Two teams that looked like they didn't belong there...

 

[JJL]

I couldn't agree more. I was hoping for anybody but these two teams in the Superbowl. The only good thing was that I heard Vegas was really going to get hit hard if NY won. I thought I had heard somewhere that with a couple of weeks left in the regular season, Vegas set NY at 50:1 to win the Superbowl, and a bunch of people jumped on the bet.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

i believe the idea of the thread was that none really cared. just saying'


besides that, it was like watching a f'n rerun. even the amazing catch at the end by a Giants' receiver to keep them alive and eventually win. you'd think with the last Giants-Pats super bawl being such a recent memory, they at least could've written a new script. i really think that each and every year brings the NFL closer to an American Idol for sports fans. hopefully next season's championship will be a little better put together than yesterday's..... that was a pretty sad game. even the World Junior Championships (hockey) was more exciting than that game.

 

[OntarioBeerKegs]

I don't know who the Giants or the Patriots are, but they must be good if they're opening for Madonna

:rockin: dude, i almost shot coffee out of my nose!

This is a flawed comparison:

Hockey, by its very nature, is better than football. Even the best bologna sandwich in the world can't compare to a sub-par roast beef.

Wow - Neilsen ratings put it at 111.3 million viewers and a 71 share, making it the most-watched event in television history.

And rightly so, dammit. Enough of this Super Bowl bashing!

(Although I should point out, that it is not close to the MASH finale for % of pop.)

i'd have much rather watched 4 hours worth of repeated reruns of the M*A*S*H* finale, would've been a much better use of time.

 

[lamppa]

thats how gullible 111 million americans are, they will spend 4 hours watching garbage just cause everyone else is.
What a bunch of crap.

Or maybe they genuinely enjoy the game.

 

[Fritobandito]

I didn't watch a single second of it. I didn't even know who was playing in it until my friend started talking about it the next day.

that's kinda what i was thinking.







or maybe they enjoyed it, just like they enjoy american idol. it's either the majority of the population is that gullible, or the majority of the population really enjoys mindless drivel. i'm still trying to figure that one out.
