Living in a border city we used to watch the game on an American station, just to see the commercials. No high budget ads just takes the fun right out of it.
Of course picking up “free” TV via the antenna is no longer an option without a digital converter. Bah. The tribulations of living in Canada, eh?
No. I can’t even fake it for football (I can for baseball or hockey). My husband watched the game and I didn’t even offer a token “what’s the score?”. It was my daughter’s birthday party yesterday and I think I have a sinus infection, and I was just wandering around whimpering and waiting until eight o’clock so I could go to bed without feeling like a total loser.
I don’t understand football. Completely no idea about the rules at all. And every year I am SO HAPPY that my husband doesn’t watch sports of any kind. I love him.
I’m pretty sure that was Roethlisberger’s entire game plan! And no nachos? That is a tragedy.
husband was going for the packers aka underdogs… so that’s who we cheered for too. of course the offspring cheer for the opposite of any sports team the husband does.
mmmm nachos.
A super bowl without nachos is a travesty. I don’t follow football, but I hang out in the family room during the game for all of the yummy snacks.
We were rooting for the Steelers because my daughter’s teacher promised no math homework for a month if they won. We were bummed that they lost.
I’m a huge, huge Green Bay fan. Football is the only sport I like to watch and Green Bay is by far my most favourite team. I wanted to make a post in advance of the superbowl explaining why but I didn’t get around to it. I’ll have to give it a go later this week.
We are convinced around here, though, that our massive intake of cheesies (CHEESE-ies, get it) helped steer Green Bay to the win. I pack on the pounds for you, Aaron Rogers!
