Anyone else not care about the Super Bowl?

This year I wasn't really into it. I couldn't care less about the teams. The commericals I saw weren't that great either.

I like watching NCAA Football and the NFL, but Steelers vs. Packers is the worst match-up for me. Roethlisberger is a rapist and deserves life in prison...and I hate the Packers since I'm from Chicago. It's a lose-lose situation.

Blah blah blah blah blah............this is what happens when someone wins.

I like football. I just hate when ppl claim that it's a simple sport and the ppl who play and watch it are idiots or something.DudeNtheRoom

lol Cant say ive ever heard people call american football "simple"

I mean have people even looked at these madden games?.. I tried playing one for the first time ever a while ago and I had absolutely no idea how to do anything.

"ohhh look at me i'm cool underground gamer who doesn't care for popular stuff" sorry, even metalheads watch football, even the elitist ones, if not well then you know what we think about you and we can't say it in a forum, just go away. I don't even have a football team, but i still watch it, my parents don't care about football but they still throw a party and watch it.X360PS3AMD05

I guess I fall into this category. Being an Englishman that lives in Australia pretty much ensures that it's not on my radar at all. Care factor of 0 :P

i enjoy the superbowl because of the party day it is... in terms of the game its just another football game to me.

they took Bobs Burgers away from me :x

I only watch for the commercials. The only team I like are the Chiefs, but I doubt they'll see a Super Bowl any time soon.

Sorry but not everyone likes American football. And we have something called opinions :|

The idea that some people don't care about sports confuses and infuriates me!Dark__Link

It doesn't bother me, it merely doesn't interest me. I'd rather see the puppy bowl and just enjoy the food :P

I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's an annoyance, but I don't really take an interest in sports, so I don't participate in what is basically considered a national holiday.

Of course I care. I live in Wisconsin and I'm a huge Packer fan.

We won. So I'm now really really happy.

I could care less about football in general

Sorry but not everyone likes American football. And we have something called opinions :|

I kind of agree with X360, this thread has a loaded question and it's almost showing off how cool it is to dislike something popular. If the NFL and college football werent the most popular sport in America, then more people on OT would like it more because it's cool and different from what everyone else likes.

I understand we have many posters from all over the country, but no one is starting threads like, "Ugh soccer, it's so popular all over the world, ugh so slow and boring, don't you guys agree?" I don't care for soccer, but I see the appeal and get how so many people love it.

I care. The last couple Superbowls including this one were fun to watch. I still put the World Cup ahead of it but I definitely wouldn't miss a Super Bowl.

And I'm perfectly fine with that, but honestly some people are coming off as elitist here on this thread. I mean really, you said you don't care, but is it really an annoyance to you like TC said? It's just a game...

I didn't/don't care, but I still blew thrity bucks betting on the Steelers.

I hate football as a sport. Soccer, on the other hand, is the way to go.

Well, I certainly think it is overhyped. It is not like the game means anything wen it comes down to it. The best team hardly ever wins. I hate the Patriots, but they had the best team, this year. If the Jets didn't catch them on a bad day, no doubt they would have won it all.

Maybe we prefer hockey, a sport that doesn't take 7 hours for five minutes to come off the clock. :P

Sounds like OT really doesn't like what's popular...

What I said actually had some semblance of truth, because football is rigidly timed.

But yours didn't.

Tsk, tsk.

This^^^^^^^^^. It seems many things popular are shunned or disliked by the OT. It's as if the OT is comprised of hermit-like recluses who see popular culture as an annoyance, crying out that anything overly commercial or anything very hyped is bad.

At the end of the day the Superbowl is the most watched event of the year. No matter what anybody here says, the NFL is a major sport in America and is one of the most watched things in the country.

Sports seem to get dismissed by geeks. Maybe it's the mentality of a lot of the fans who watch. I'll admit some people need to just cool it with the whole sports craze, but in a world where the average person doesn't do much special in their lives that get noticed by millions, big sports in all countries of all types give people something to look forward to. Sports across the world bring people together in a common goal. This is why athletes are so well paid, we put our faith in them to entertain us.

Maybe it's because a lot of geeks really have a hard time associating themselves with the masses. I don't know. I used to be very apathetic towards sports as I am not very athletic myself. However as I get older I find myself more drawn to them and more wiling to play a pick up game whenever I get a chance. There is something that draws me in.

I guess if my team wasn't apart of the Superbowl I wouldn't care as much, but I would probably watch it with a bunch of friends and have a good time.

I didn't care because I do not like sports.

Because Ryan Grant got injured and they had no ground game until they discovered a guy that can run (Starks) against the Eagles in the wild card game.

Also, the Pats got by with a below average defense because they have the best QB in football. That stuff catches up eventually, the top defenses make the superbowl for the most part.

Not interested whatsoever. I can't even pretend to care. It wouldn't be annoying if fans of whatever teams involved weren't constantly making a spectacle of themselves.

Well I care, because I love watching NFL games.

I like watching NCAA Football and the NFL, but Steelers vs. Packers is the worst match-up for me. Roethlisberger is a rapist and deserves life in prison...and I hate the Packers since I'm from Chicago. It's a lose-lose situation.

Cause he was totally charged and convicted, right? :roll:

It was on BBC1, I watched a bit of it. The only good thing about it is that there were no adverts :lol: BBC doesn't show adverts.
