Blah, blah, blah. I hate football. There is just something very weird about 300 pound men jumping on top of each other. And for this they get paid millions of dollars a year! I just don’t get it.
Yes, the Patriots won the Super Bowl. Yes, it was a cliff hanger of a game. Yes, Boston is celebrating. Shhh, don’t tell anyone, but I only watched the first half of the game. And even better, I only watched the commercials. I thought I had read that there would be a commercial about kittens playing with tiny little footballs. I will watch anything that involves cute little fuzzy animals. Is that a such a girl thing to say or what?
The Super Bowl is a cultural phenomenon. I suppose it’s worth watching just for that. I’m sure it was all folks were talking about today at work. Well, since I work from home, the only thing I would be talking to is my computer and that would be a little creepy.
This got me to thinking. I’m sure there are some people left in America who didn’t watch the game. But, no worries, here are some tips to get you through the next week. You can converse like a football pro!
1. The ads.
Google “super bowl ads” and you’ll find plenty of websites showing the ads. You can peruse these at your leisure, passing over those which don’t do anything for you. Queue in the stupid car ads and beer ads here.
2. The game.
Google “super bowl plays” and you get an earful and eyeful of the plays during the game. Can you say, “last minute interception by Patriots Malcolm Butler won the game?” See it’s not that hard.
If you’re a guy, it’s okay to admit you don’t like football. You might even like cute kittens too!
So what about you? Did you watch “THE” game? If so, what did you think about it?
P.S. It turns out the kitten bowl is on the Hallmark Channel. In case you haven’t had your daily dose of cuteness, here is the Kitten Bowl.

Well Professor,
I’m glad to hear that you are a Pats fan. Although, I would still speak to you if you were a Seahawk fan. 🙂

I watched the game, Nancy, because the Super Bowl is an “event,” but I am not a football fan. In fact, I am horrified by the maladies endured by many retired players, e.g., early-onset dementia, ALS, severe depression, etc. The violence of the game is deeply disturbing. Give me baseball every time. Oh, and I’m allergic to cats/kittens, even cute ones. – Steve

Hi Steve,
I think if you live anywhere within 200 miles of Boston, you “had” to watch the game, or at least part of it.
As for the maladies of former football players, it’s quite sad. I remember one of my yoga teachers telling us that the lifespan of professional football player is 56 years! And these guys are supposedly some of the strongest guys in the world!

No. I didn’t watch the game Nancy, but I did just go off to see the kittens and almost forgot to come back here and comment. So what shall I comment about ?

I thought the game was very exciting and a few of the ads were funny. The half time show was just too techno for me though. I did exhibit some restraint in my food during the game and just ate a couple of slices of cheese. It the Pats were not in the Super Bowl I would not watch it.

Well Mr. Ken,
I think you would still watch the Super Bowl, if only to use it as an excuse to eat Super Bowl snacks, aka junk food. 🙂

Hi,
I am not surprised. I think the Super Bowl is much more than an American phenomenon. Although I wonder if non-Americans get confused since our football is your soccer. 🙂

I came to the Super Bowl having been in the US one year it was on and have been taken with it ever since. A sort of contagion, I think!
