mellifera33 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 who will not be watching the Super Bowl today? I have zero interest in football. Today I will be attending the baptism of a friend's baby, and then I will have the afternoon to myself to paint the kitchen. Bliss! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No, I am not watching. I like the commercials, yet don't really care about football. We don't have cable and can't get regular channels without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Nope, nobody in our house will be watching. I think I know who is playing, from reading FB comments, but that's probably more than DH knows. Nobody here is into football, basketball, baseball, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymonster Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 DH is taking the boys to an arcade that is normally super busy. I'm working on geneaology. It is a good day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No, I am working. I like football, but not enough to spend half a day on it when it isn't even my team playing. If it's a close game I might try to watch the ending. I gave my kids a fair chunk of work to do today, since they skipped all their usual Sunday activities due to the snow. My sister (a rabid football fan) is on her way to shepherd the kids and cook dinner while I work. I am sure she will want the game on. We'll see how this goes .....

Scrub Jay Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I could care less. But I am from MA so my FB timeline will be filled with it. ;) We do have the TiVO set to tape the Puppy and Kitten Bowls, though, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loowit Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I am not planning to watch. None of us are into football. I am going to be glad when the game is over and I can stop seeing stuff all over facebook, but I fear no matter who wins there will be people crying foul.

redsquirrel Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 We don't have a TV and no one in the house is interested in football. DH is at a work conference so he couldn't watch it even if he wanted to. I am not sure he even knows it is this weekend, lol. I hear more about the superbowl here than anywhere else in my life.

SparklyUnicorn Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Although I do believe Price Chopper has wings on sale. I might have to go get some.

Jenny in Florida Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 You're not alone. No one in my family likes or watches sports of any kind. My husband went to the grocery store earlier to pick up some stuff for our son to take back to campus later today, and he couldn't figure out why there were so many men buying beer and snacks . . . until the cashier asked him who he was supporting in "the game" today and he had to admit he didn't even know the names of the teams playing. My husband and son are out at the moment browsing the big sale at the gaming store. I'm doing the kid's laundry and watching Gilmore Girls (again) until I have to log in and work for a couple of hours. We're planning Indian food for dinner, after which I'll drive my son and his clean laundry back to school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's the best time to go to the grocery store, so I may do that later this evening. I usually end up watching part of the game with DH but am not an NFL fan. I do like attending the local high school's football games and watching my alma mater play.

Baseball mom Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It will be on at our house and I might be in the same room (just to be with dh & kiddos) but I won't be watching.

cjzimmer1 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 When we were out yesterday somebody made a comment about the Superbowl today. DH and I are were both like Oh the Super Bowl is tomorrow? We didn't know that. We both find sports to be the most boring thing ever. Can't imagine what there is to like about watching them.

Guest Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't mind college football, but I think professional sports teams are WAY too overpaid and there is way too much dirty business involved that gets swept under the rug. Yet people allow their kids to "worship" athletes. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I have zero interest in football. I read when DH watches sports, which is only college basketball. He just told me he's not watching the Super Bowl. I think we'll watch Raiders of the Lost Ark since that is what we have out from Netflix now. Oh, I'll mention that dd16 works in a sports bar/restaurant. I told her she will likely be working late tonight. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I never watch the game, but I love Super Bowl parties. Festive and fun in the dark of winter. Dh is going with a friend to a pub to watch. I might put it on just to remember when my bil used to host fun SB parties. (He died a few years ago.)

Mommy22alyns Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Nope, not me! I could not care less about football. I think I'll watch some old 24 and crochet instead. Pitchers and catchers report in 17 days though! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm 42. I think I've seen 4 maybe 5 (tops) Superbowl games ever. The 4 (maybe 5?) that I saw were at friends' houses and DH and I hung out by the snack tables with the spouses who didn't care about the game while the Superbowl enthusiasts had fun watching together.

HSmomof2 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't care about football at all. We are going to my sister's, mostly so dh and bil can watch it.

Luanne Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 We are all into football and none of us are planning on watching the game.

BigMamaBird Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 We're not watching either. Dh isn't really into sports, he'll watch them if they're on, but it's not something we make an event out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Nope! I absolutely could NOT care less about it. We live DEEP in Seahawks country, and I'm surrounded by the "12," but I'm like...meh. During football season, Fridays are known as "Blue Friday," where all Seahawks fans wear blue and/or green. It's EVERYWHERE. Loads of offices and other work places take part in it. This past Friday was especially blue and green. I was at the store, and I swear I was in a sea of blue and green. I stood out in my pink! James Bond had to fly to AZ on Sunday, right around the same time the Seahawks were flying out. OMG, it was the worst! They closed off the main highway exit to the airport, and rerouted everyone. The reroute though took us through the cross street where the busses would be traveling. There were THOUSANDS of people lined up along the street, wearing Seahawks colors, carrying banners and flags, waiting to wave at the busses! It was early morning, and cold. No thank you! At the airport, the police were there, removing people who weren't flying, or dropping off/picking up someone who was flying. It was ridiculous, and a pain for the people who WERE flying. It's not the Seahawks fault, as they did have to fly, but it shouldn't have been advertised all over the news when and where they would be.

Ottakee Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 My PLAN was to have a quiet night home ALONE while the 2 girls went to teens at church and ds with the 2 boys went to watch the game at church for a Super Bowl party.....................but alas, 10-12 inches of blowing and drifting snow has everyone home due to drifted shut roads and poor visibility. SOOOO.......older ds went downstairs and got his TV and put it in the living room and we hooked up the portable indoor antenna to it so they can see the game (TV in there is really old and only has DVD player hooked up---no broadcast tv and no cable). I made the Puppy Chow younger fds was asking to bring to the party tonight and I put in 2 frozen pizzas. I keep hearing yelling and cheering coming from that room.........from a bunch of kids that don't really understand the game :lol: My plan is to brave the storm and go feed the horses in about 1/2 hour and then hunker down with my kindle book.......and try to avoid the puppy chow that is highly addictive.

foxbridgeacademy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nope, we aren't watching. DH does watch Football but only if it's the Colts (home team) or Denver ('cause, you know, it's Peyton). As for the commercials we'll do what we do every year and check them out tonight/tomorrow online. We're more into our College basketball, March is always noisy around here.

Renthead Mommy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 We don't really care. I didn't know it was this weekend until yesterday and had no idea who was even playing till this morning. I don't care about sports. If we had a party to go to that would be fine, but we don't so don't care. I spent the afternoon pulling out containers, filling them and prepping the little ground space we have for the spring garden. I need to get more dirt tomorrow and finish getting everything ready for early spring planting. At this rate I think I am almost running behing for a few veggies. I love snow and winter in general and miss both, but since I lose a growing season every other year for a move, I'll trade it this time for the extra long veggie garden season!

LucyStoner Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 In Seattle, no TV reception, not a football fan, not even one tiny little bit. And who needs live tweets when the neighbors make it abundantly clear what is going on? I don't mean my apartment neighbors or the people next door. These folks live 3 lots down from us. I don't mind, let them have their fun. #notevenafairweatherfan I studied this afternoon and then tackled some housework and now I'm here.
