These kind of posts crack me up.  All the people that say NO, I'm not watching...yet post on an NFL team message board.  Gimme a break, of course we're all watching.  We are football fans.

Yes, a message board for our NFL team. I have no desire to watch 4 hours of blather about players I dislike - Mahomes, Kelce, the swifts etc etc. Last year it was two teams I hated so I caught the last few minutes of the 4th quarter just to see the score ( and the atrocious penalty at the end). I do kind of like SF, so maybe a little more of the 4th this time. If SF wins I’ll enjoy watching the postgame festivities. No need to watch programming that isn’t entertaining just because it’s the NFL.

Agree with you.  For me, the NFL walk now on a fine line. I just talk about me and i dont want to convince anybody.  

 

Since some years, i didnt listen at all the pre-game show and all the NFL show. I didnt give a *** when they do politics. I dont watch commercial, more and more politic also. I'm only a football fan and i found a lot of good  football events on the net, like Cover1, and i really think it is better because they only talk about football there and, even if i should not say that i have to say if i watch the NFL, it is only for the game. I love football.

 

I can deal with the show because when we heard the whitle, it is football.

 

But, this year, NFL entertainment made a step on the other side of the line. I just cant skip that because it is now during the game. It is the first time this year i see it at this point during a game.

 

The SB show will have a big part about a love story and i dont care at all about it.

Then, i have to be interested with the matchup. I watched Chiefs-Ravens because i really want to see if that Chiefs defense could stop Jackson. I was pretty sure about it, but i was interested and i watched the game...but i'm not for this Chiefs-49ers. Not enough to deal with the -show-.

 

 

 

This is something I noticed as well this year.  I mean the obvious one is Taylor Swift but not only that...all of the attention Tommy Devito's agent and the Philadelphia Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro got, the NFL is slowly starting to have WWE like storylines as a sideshow to the football games.

by now the Super Bowl is a standard holiday in my home. We always cook and always party and watch to enjoy that aspect

 

. It just will be a very different vibe then if the Bills were playing CLEARLY

 

I'm all about the fiesta aspect this year. The game?  I just can't KC , go 49er.

 

Its a bitter pill if the chiefs win. Which they probably will. la ******

I've decided to root for the Chiefs in hopes that they win and Kelce and Ried go out Elway style and retire.  

 

Knowing Bills fans luck then Bill will go there, and the Chiefs dominance will continue.

Meh - I'll watch in the background but not going to make it an event. This is probably the least interesting matchup possible from a rooting interest. On one hand, you have the Chiefs (enough said), and the other is a 49ers team with all the talent in the world but who can't seem to get it done in the big game recently - annoying in its own right given their talent level across the board.

 

My heart says go 49ers for obvious reasons against the hated Chiefs, but my head is allowing for the possibility that a Chiefs win could be good in the long run if it causes Reid and Kelce to decide to ride off into the sunset on top.

I'll be bored watching it.  Footballed out at this point, after months of watching games.  

 

Bored with the Chiefs and the Kelce experience.  Tired of Tony Romo.  Usher hasn't been relevant for over a decade. 

 

Five years from now, everyone will struggle remembering this game and who played in it.

there's just no chance that all the "no" voters will not be watching the SB.

I am a no vote and there is no way I will be watching this game.  Not that hard to find something else to do on a Sunday evening.

This.  Although I'm more inclined to believe the refs are biased toward KC.  The PI that wasn't called on the pic when Lamar threw into triple coverage, and the horrifically blatent PI near the end that forced the Ravens to settle for a field goal stand out.  The calls on Baltimore were legit, but the refs let KC get away with murder.

You’re right, but I had to consider the other play and its impact, also.   There was that second and seven where Baltimore picked up four yards, setting up the third and three.   Flowers had a hand full of jersey four yards deep on a corner, and the so the KC safety slid right, allowing for at least one yard of the four picked up.   Had that not happened, KC is likely to have passed on third and five instead of handing the ball to Pacheco, who picked up the first by half a yard.   That allowed the clock to keep moving and led to a touchdown 11 plays later, most of which had penalties of one sort or another either called or not called, some against each team.

NO!!!

Honeslty I can not stand the over zealous pageantry the game brings. The next superbowl I watch will have the Bills playing. I haven't watched a SB in over a decade.

I'm going to go in person. I've noticed that a ticket is just upwards of $7,000 on stubhub - which is cheap at twice the price for someone who is indifferent to both teams at best. I'll check hotels and flights now.

For me, when the Bills aren’t in it or not a fan of the teams, just make it about friends and good times more than football :)

That’s exactly what it’s about. Hanging with friends, eating good food, and having some drinks. So yeah, I’ll be watching.

I usually say I'm not gonna watch because I can't stand either team, but I end up watching anyway,  however, I'm completely sick of the Chiefs, I hate the 49ers, and the whole Taylor Swift thing is nauseating and will ultimately lead to me not watching.

Well this is the one Super Bowl outcome I was dreading going into the games this weekend and the one outcome that will have me seriously considering not watching the Super Bowl this year 


There’s a little thing called gambling… on everything from Anthem longevity to Coin Toss to Gatorade.

 

Anything else?

Out of all the pairings when the playoffs started, this is the one I absolutely hated the most. You couldn’t pay me to watch the Swiftie SB. It’s either smarmy KC or the favorite team of my ex-sister-in-law who has made my family’s life a living hell the last 10 years. It’s lose-lose.
 

Considering driving my dog to the ocean here in CT to let him run in the sand on the beach in winter. If the weather is nice that day. And maybe I’ll get to be fitted with this thing so I can forget several things ever happened:

yes...of course.  it's the super bowl.  i'm not excited about it in the least with these two teams, but i always appreciate the production value, fanfare, etc.   it's one more thing to look forward to in another gray winter.  we'll end up making drinks and appetizers.  the kids get riled up.  it's not about the teams for me this year.

It's actually just a tick under 10 grand when you add in the fees.  

 

When I thought the Bills were going to make it, I bought a round trip flight from Oakland to Las Vegas the day of the game.  I had planned to fly into Oakland on the 9th & return to Albany on the 13th.  I was going to have my sister drop me off for an 8:00-9:30 AM flight to Vegas & pick me up from a 10-11:30 PM flight after the game.  It was the right idea since the flight options went up by about $200 and then sold out by last week, since the 49ers fans were thinking of doing the same thing.  I ended cancelling the flight & up getting a credit that I can use towards a future flight.  At least all I had done was bought the gameday flight.  Last year I had to cancel flights, rental car, motel reservation, & parking. 

 

I was checking out ticket prices & the lowest after fees were in the $9-10k area.  Now I won't be having a 10 grand credit card bill and will have saved around $11k.

I absolutely will NOT be watching one minute of this game! However... if by chance one of those 49ers finally makes a fantastic pancake play on that little girly-girl running around with the #15 on his Chief's jersey I'd highly appreciate it if one of you watchers could provide a gif of that in here for my future viewing pleasure. I'd watch that gif over & over and be bummed out that I missed it in real time!

Not sure yet if I can stomach the sight of Kelce Read and Mahomes for another 3 hours… Can’t stand the sight of either and all of them make me wanna puke….

Here's the only good news about KC back in the Super Bowl:

If you hate Tom Brady, Mahomes is one step closer to dethroning him as the GOAT.
