Not a football fan? What are you doing today?

<< < (3/19) > >>

serious crayons:
I think Justin Timberlake first used the term. He's pretty funny.

A non-football-fan friend in New Orleans has urged me to watch the game, saying it is to New Orleans what the rugby game in Invictus was to South Africa. That made it sound a little more interesting, and certainly heightens the drama of the outcome. But it's not enough to get me to sit there for three solid hours watching the actual playing.

Three other people in my house will be watching it. I'll probably stop in for the final few minutes, as well as for some of those $90,000-per-second commercials.

Otherwise, I'll probably be doing what I do just about every other waking moment of my life: surfing the internet.

Sheriff Roland:
Superbowl? Is that like a great big bowl of dip or fruit?

Seriously, even when I did have cable (and if I ever do re-subscribe) I wouldn't watch Canadian or American football. The only sport I use to watch religiously on TV in the past two decades (other than the Olympics) was bull riding - the PBR variety. When OLN Canada started showing only the Friday night events, I sorta lost interest (the best bulls are kept for the finals - on Saturdays or Sundays).

Today, except for the fact that Bryan's not coming over (as he usually does) will be a pretty regular Sunday for me, with a pleasant mix of Bettermost, CivIV, and episodes of 'The Waltons', 'M*A*S*H', and 'Laura Cadieux' (all on DVD). I've already enjoyed a late lunch of hot (Angus) beef sandwich and I expect I'll be reading a chapter from either 'Harry Potter' (currently re-reading the 3rd book) and / or 'Les Héritiers d'Enquidiev - Renaissance' before the day is out. This book was released just a couple of weeks ago. It's the first of a series, the Next-Generation-like collection of 'Les Chevaliers D'Émeraude'.

Oh & I've also already been out for groceries.

Sheriff Roland:
for those in need of a laugh, here's an 'In Living Color' (dated) explanation of American football.

Apologies to those who are easily offended.

southendmd:
Thanks, Roland, that was hilarious.  I love Blaine and Antoine:  "Two snaps up and your backfield in motion."

David In Indy:
I'm in the middle of cooking dinner, so this will have to be brief. But if some of you are looking for an alternative to the Super Bowl, you could always watch the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. It's really cute watching the puppies covort and play with each other. And you can watch it anytime throughout the evening. It will be repeating over and over again.
