I think I am skipping the Super Bowl (1 Viewer)

[CowboysFromHell]

I wasn't really planning to but I think I am. For as long as I can remember I have watched the Super Bowl. My first Super Bowl was 1969. Yep the first game to be called a Super Bowl. You may recall the Jets pulled a little bit of an upset. So I am hooked from there on. Until now. I just don't care who wins. The drama is largely manufactured. The game itself is a backdrop for commercials. And I have already seen all of them. Man Budweiser knows how to go for the emotional response don't they? Anyway I don't care about Katy might be more interested if it was only Kravitz. Nothing about this game really says to me "you need to watch". Now if my local team were in then yeah I'd obviously be glued to the TV and probably for the whole pre-game. But it isn't and I just don't care about the teams that are.

I didn't see anything tonight that makes me want to tune in to the NFL next year. It's become so commercialized, it's not fun anymore. They let their players beat up their girlfriends, their coaches cheat at any chance they get (I'm looking at you, Mr. Belichick), but fine the players when they wear the wrong logo. They can make a political statement, like "Hands up, don't shoot", as long as they don't violate the sponsor-funded dress code. Such

I recorded it, turned it on 30-40 minutes late and skipped most commercials. Good game, a watchable halftime show where the performer actually performed instead of lip synching.

I enjoyed it.

What the hell is the deal with all the tear-jerker commercials? I want to get slightly drunk, watch some football, and see a little T&A. I don't want somebody lecturing me about my half-### parenting or going all Posty about some kid drowning in a bathtub.

Already a meme.
