The only ‘Super Bowl’ I’ll be enjoying this Sunday
til the lore behind psycho sam
The most fun take I heard about this: “Why are they playing a football game at the Bad Bunny concert?”
If we’re doing bread and circuses in a state-funded colosseum, at least make it interesting and turn some wild animals loose or something. Even the Romans did better than a bunch of sweaty guys tossing around a pig hide in between ads.
turn some wild animals loose
Best we can do is Puppy Bowl
There was a pretty sweet jet flyover if you’re into aviation…
I was rooting for the Pats, and if we’re gonna start shooting at the stormtroopers then Boston is a good place to start, again
I just wish they would get to the series finale sometime soon.
The foreshadowing of the effects of concussions on players seems like they’re setting up the finale, but it might take a while to get there.
Ironically enough, the excess of concussions nowadays are due to overly protective gear. It gives them a sence of protection that leads to more violent tackles, which then leads to more violent headshakes.
It’s like when they introduced gloves in boxing. Pre-gloves, it hurt like a motherfucker to hit someone in the face. You’d have just as big of a chance to break your hand as the opponents jaw. So they had to make the gloves ‘hurt’ again by making them thinner.
I came across something about it this morning, and thought, ‘Oh, is that today?’ Then I forgot about it again until this post.
I’ve never cared about sportsball, but I’ve learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn’t avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.
I’m old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y’all have fun.
I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I’ve been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.
Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn’t even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.
Culture is shattering.
remember back when michael jackson would drop a music video after the superbowl? those were the days
Yep, and the commercials were actually things you’d only see once, with huge production values.
Really ties an onion to your belt, doesn’t it?

i… uh… no???
i spent dickity two years on that terlet
And again, two bands of brawlers beat themselves up over a ball, and they call this uncivilized bar fight “football” despite carrying the ball in the hands most of the time.
It was weird when American food franchises started advertising that they would show “the big game this weekend” in Canada and no one knew what they were talking about.
Then it started defaulting to that it must be that American game. Now I imagine most people hear about it from the internet before those signs go up.
If Canadian food companies were smart they’d put a big hockey game on the same night as the Super Bowl
Best time to go grocery shopping, stores are empty
I forgot yesterday that it was going on and went to Trader Joe’s after work. It was heavenly. Those stores are always so cramped.
Also a great day to fly. Last year I flew home on a flight with 20 people (including staff) Super Bowl night. I felt like a billionaire lmfao
OH! This is why it was busier than usual this morning. I wondered why. I usually shop Sunday morning because people are in church, and the grocery store is empty.
Maybe after it starts. The grocery was a zoo this morning with people getting ready for it.
I can’t see the point of going to an empty store, parks are way better for a stroll
I can’t see the point of going to an empty store
… what do you do in stores, exactly?
Buy stuff, but there is nothing to buy in an empty store
No crowds whatsoever in the way of what you need, little to no lines to wait in.
My folks’ fav characters got killed off a few episodes ago but for some reason everyone is still hyped for the finale
They took that one guy out with an ankle injury. Shoddy writing IMO.
remember that time they couldnt think of an opponent for the NFC for 4 years in a row so they just had the bills there to lose them all? THAT was shoddy writing
Come on, that was hilarious. Big fan of those 4 seasons.
ITT: my people.
I love this community.
football was an excuse to drink beer. i quit
And it ended up being like the finale of game of thrones, so disappointing.
Everytime one of my frienda where’s a scarf of our local soccer club, I’m gonna tell them their cosplay looks fabulous.
Where’s a scarf?
Lol, I even have a CAE (Cambridge Advanced English) certificate. I swear XD
Is there a /r/ihatesportsball equivalent for douchey people like you who think they are above liking sports?
We don’t just think it. It’s 100% true and you are annoyed by us because you know it is too!
How do your farts smell? Lmao.
I personally couldn’t care less about the Superbowl or American Football, I am just not a fucking douche and I let people enjoy things even if I don’t enjoy them.
I let people enjoy things even if I don’t enjoy them.
Except when that thing someone enjoys doing is some harmless ribbing.
If I would let my friends simply enjoy their hobbies without making a joke or two about it, i wouldn’t be much of a friend, would I?!
I’m surprised I didn’t see anything like this yet… Years ago, I heard the superbowl was one of the most important events to… traffic children. It makes sense because a lot of people are traveling internationally to one city. No one is going to question big families traveling together or an uncle traveling with many young ladies. Hotels can be reserved by entire entities who can trade/sell people floor by floor. The cover is that it’s a party. It’s terrible and terribly easy…
they say something about football and then it’s a bad bunny concert, a massive ad show and some handegg things
