I didn't. I wasn't interested in any of the teams and I heard they were having a pre-game celebration of Raygun, which just turned me off completely. I watched "District 9" instead.

2. Me!
Took the camera out to play and watched movies. Have no idea who won, nor do I care.

3. I watched 10 minutes of Puppy Bowl & almost 30 seconds of Superbowl Halftime :p
I think this counts as watching.

I wish I'd watched District 9, I liked that movie.

5. Me too - it was such an original plot
Edited on Mon Feb-07-11 06:06 PM by LynneSin
And I think Sharlto Copley is going to be a big name in acting. I loved how his character progressed in 'District 9' from the bumbling numbers pusher middle management guy to the one that ultimately fights for the salvation of the Prawn against the corporation who just wants to profit off of the technology.

I thought he was terrific in the reboot of "The A-Team". Here again is what I thought was another lame attempt to redo a bad 80s TV show and they ended up with a gem of a movie. They figured the big draw was Bradley Cooper coming off his big hit "The Hangover" but the best part of the show was Copley (and good work on dropping the South African accent although there were 2 parts in the movie where he actually did use it) and the buddy-buddy chemistry he had with that guy who played BA. I hope they make a sequel for this movie - it was a great cast overall (and anything with Liam Neeson is 2 :thumbsup: :thumbsup: from me!

6. I watched Puppy Bowl VII
It was great. Glad that CB, a Shih Tzu/Beagle mix, won the MVP (Most Valuable Puppy). Loved the Chicken cheerleaders and thought that the Hamster Blimp did a great job with the overhead shots. No doubt the Kitty Half Time performance was one of the best. Yeh, Super Bowl Sunday was a howl this year.

8. I watched two re-runs of Who Do You Think You Are?
Vanessa Williams and Lisa Kudrow. Then I watched other stuff and did genealogical research online.

9. Actually the reason that you didn't watch this one is the same one you have used for not watching
42 of the 44 previous Super Bowls --> that being the eaglets were not in the game.

Do you ever recall them actually winning a Super Bowl??

:hide:

BTW, there was no mention of ***gan, that I can recall from 6:00pm on, when I turned it on.

:shrug:

13. I don't care for sports.
Too much wasted time standing around commenting on the player's lives/careers, not interesting to watch, and I don't care for the overpayed atheletes treated like gods by too many.

I don't recall what I was doing because I don't even know what time it was on other than being on Sunday. I cleaned, I read, I did some computer maintenance.

18. I had a nice, quiet Sunday.
I think some neighbors across the way were having a day of it, but they didn't make any noise that I could hear, even with the window open. Actually, I ended up closing my window because I was afraid of disturbing the peace of everyone else due to my coughing :o

22. Super Bowl. Something to do with bowling. I did not watch it.
You seen one football game, you seen them all.
Watching tv, or even going to a stadium to watch someone else, IS NOT SPORT.
It's vegetable. Couch potato.
Sport is doing it yourself. Mine are bicycle riding, hiking, walking, and hunting dear. Two legged dear, that is, and the sport of that is simply the chase, used to be I could catch a few of them, but now, as old and slow as I am, they all seem to get away.
Oh well, it has become like a dog chasing a car. What would he do with it if he caught it.
