My Super Bowl Cowardice

[Kristofer Bry]

I like the Eagles. They're one of my favorite teams. Therefore, I'm going to my in-laws house, where all sports are frowned upon, to watch a movie. That way, I won't actually have to see the Patriots overcome a halftime deficit to win the game 27-26 in the final half-minute.. My wife is staying home to watch the game, so she'll be on top our next dozen times at least.

1. AS a lifelong Eagles fan...

I understand your trepidation. I will be watching with one eye closed. I just hope they make it a good game.
That being said...GO EAGLES.

7. As a Buffalo Bills fan I understand your apprehension in watching the game.

Buffalo Bills fans watch their games with BOTH eyes closed!

[LuckyCharms]

9. My lips still tremble when I remember the early 90's.

10. Buffalo Bills fans required psychotherapy after that run. Learned the

impossible is possible. Thanks LC !

2. I know, I know

The sad dilemma of the Iggles fan. Sigh. My husband will watch the game, so I'll perforce be aware, but I don't want to be. I just want to remember them as they were, last game. It's awful, isn't it?

[Glorfindel]

3. I feel your pain, Kristofer Bry. As an Atlanta Falcons fan, I'll never watch another

Super Bowl. No matter what happens this year, it can't possibly be as awful as Super Bowl LI. So, I'll be watching Wonder Woman on Amazon Prime and spare no thoughts to the Super Bowl. I think my niece and her husband will be coming to watch it, but the house is big enough that their viewing won't interfere with mine, and vice-versa.

4. You need to back up your team, As a JETS fan I know all about losing. But........

Phillys got a tough as nails line. My call is Philly +3

[Kristofer Bry]

13. A question about the Jets (I'd ask the same of a Giants fan)

Your team supposedly represents New York City, yet it plays in another state! How can they rep a city and state they're not even in?

I've never lived in or around NYC, so I obviously don't know about the football zeitgeist. New Yorkers might not give a hoot. If so, can still respect the mindset, even though I still agree with Ed Koch.

22. Giants/Jets stadium is 7 miles from Times Square.

It's NYC area for all practical purposes.

[Old Vet]

24. Thank you Le Gaucher for explaining that...........

5. Even though I don't follow sports, I hope the Eagles win because I LOVE Philadelphia

I was stationed there for my last duty station. It was during their Tricentennial. I lived right on Broad Street, half way between the base and Center City.

Oh, and the Atlantic City Mob Wars were also taking place. Exciting times in Philadelphia, that's for sure.

[MissMillie]

14. Please Come to Boston

I noticed that Philly isn't mentioned..

[Siwsan]

15. I confess, I've never been to Boston

[MissMillie]

16. see that? making a decision w/o all the info

I worked for a man who ran a PhD program on decision making.

Fail.

(OK, I've never been to Philly. I'm cheering for the home team.)

[Siwsan]

17. Well, my "home team" would be the Detroit Lions, so.........

[MissMillie]

18. I can relate

I've been a Red Sox fan all my life. (I even saw Pudge hit his homer.)

It's all entertainment (unless you're betting).

I'm going to watch football and amazing commercials. I'm going to eat good food (hopefully). I'm going to be w/ friends.

No matter who wins, it won't change my life.

[Siwsan]

19. I've tuned into the 'Andy Griffith' marathon on Sundance. It was my Dad's favorite show

So, Andy Griffith, a fire in the fireplace and a Reykjavík Pony (my version of a Moscow Mule - made with Reyka Icelandic vodka) are my way of spending a lovely but VERY snowy Sunday afternoon.

[MissMillie]

6. Don't worry

it will all be over soon



GO PATS!!!!

[zanana1]

8. Yell it from the rooftops!

GO PATS!

[kimbutgar]

11. I dont watch the game but keep a pip window open to watch the super bowl commercials

Then I switch back to what I was watching when the game returns.

But I’m rooting for the eagles.

[malthaussen]

21. Ooops.

Well, no doubt you can watch it on You Tube.
