Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Super Bowl

Am I the only person around here who doesn't watch football and didn't realize the big game was on tonight until my son said "Super Bowl's on"?

Yes! (Actually I'm watching while I'm typing)

Actually, my Grandkids know the game's on....three of them are in MY chair and won't get up!

....2/3 of them don't know WHY they're there, but they just have a feeling that they SHOULD be!!

And the one who knows why he's there, thinks it's actually for the new commercials, that are supposed to be really funny!

Myself; I remember Superbowl 2 & 3,(I thought no 1 was a gimmic and wouldn't last)but was shocked to find it had snuck all the way up to 40 already!!
Rich.

No football here, I don't watch it much unless the Bears make the playoffs.

I found out when I heard a blurb on the radio that our RCAF and the US Air Force were conducting highly visible joint NORAD air defence missions over Detroit and Windsor. I assumed it was April Fools but apparently it's still February.

NORAD doing PR ? Is there a big budget vote coming up or something ?

I was hoping for something cool like the end of the Sydney Olympics when an RAAF plane (F111, I think) flew over the stadium, did a fuel dump overhead then kicked into afterburners to explode the dumped fuel in mid-air... but no, they're just flying around in circles...

I don't think the best speakers in the world could have made the rolling stones half time show sound anywhere near good.

Awful.

Nope, you're not the only one. Never cared a thing about football, particularly after enduring 11 years of shouts of "Roll Tide" and drunken, inbred extras from Deliverance while living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I stopped by the gas station on the way home tonight and the girl behind the counter asked if I was going home to watch the game. When I asked "What game?", she looked at me like I'd grown three heads.

I like wathing it every year, but it is kind of scary how fanatical some people are over it. I predict in 5 years it will become a recognized holiday. Or not. . .

Did the Bears win?

I was wearing my bears shirt during the superbowl.
