Commercial Troubles

by goodfella46er on Jan 30, 2009 12:03 AM EST

I couldn't help but feel somewhat happy that there are still some open slots for the Super Bowl commercials. Why? Because I am trying to tell myself that the rest of the nation is just not that interested in this match-up, and would have much rather preferred a Steelers-Eagles game.

I can't lie - I am trying to console myself because the wounds still have not healed. So logic is most certainly lost in this argument. And to be honest - it takes a serious gut-check to get myself back into the football mood for the Super Bowl once my team gets bounced when they were so close. Other teams' fans would probably disagree and call me a front runner, but most of those fans haven't watched their team get this close 5 times out of the last 8 years. I know you fellow Iggles fans can relate. But the fact remains - it still sucks big time to watch the pre-Super Bowl hype, knowing that our team came so close....

Well anyway, I think there's no doubt that the economy is the driving factor in this TV commercial shortage, but..... I will continue to try and deflect all this pain. And therefore I will pretend to believe that the reason for the low sales is because the nation really wanted the Eagles to be in this game.

And so did I.

haven’t watched ESPN since the eagles got kicked out…can’t stand to look at anything related to the super bowl. don’t really plan on watching the superbowl either. I don’t care who wins, so why bother

i just cant stnd too see all the highlights of the cardinals playing on ESPN, NFL Network etc, when it was so frigggin close being able to see the Eagles in that same position it just breaks my friggin heart

To me the Eagles are like that girlfriend that pisses u off, then u hate her, but the next morning you wake up and remember that thing u love so much about her

I don’t think I’m even going to watch this year. Normally, I root against the team that eliminates the Eagles (none of this “I want to lose to the best crap” for me.), but I can’t bring myself to root for what to me is one of the other local teams and has so much success while ours has had none.

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

Another +1

If only there was a way both teams could lose. I won’t be watching, also have not watched ESPN, and almost threw up when I passed a store that had a SB shirt in the window. (Seeing the Cards and Steelers on the shirt was what caused the nausea).
