Do we even care about the Superbowl?

…I’ve never been less interested. Even during our other title game defeats, I could get excited for the Super Bowl. When we lost to Tampa, I watched, hoping for an Oakland miracle. This game just seems boring.

If anyone likes tennis, at least we’ve got another Federer-Nadal final on Sunday.

After the Tampa and Carolina losses, I at least had a rooting interest (Oakland and NE).

I just can’t pick a rooting interest in this one. I dislike the Steelers (interstate rival, so much success compared to the Eagles, and I live in a county that has a lot more Steelers fans despite being closer to Philly than Pittsburgh), but I can’t bring myself to root for the team that knocked the Eagles out, even though my bitterness is directed at the Eagles themselves in this case, not the Cards.

If I watch, it’ll just be for the commercials.

so I’ll be watching because it will be NFL network replays from here on out until next season. I’m disappointed I’m not in Tampa right now but I actually enjoy watching football slightly more when I’m not emotional involved (unless the Eagles win). I will feel no heartache at the end of this game.

“Maybe”
I have zero rooting interest in this game. I’ll tune to it when I get back from snowshoeing with my wife and dog. If it’s a good game, I’ll watch, if it’s a blowout I’ll probably see what’s on HBO…

I’m still feeling the Eagles loss and really don’t have much interest in the game, but I’ll watch. I’ll light a fire, grab a few beers, and relax. There are worse things to do.

I’m going to root for Arizona. I generally root for the underdog if the Eagles aren’t playing. I really have nothing against the Cards.

Last year was much tougher. I was rooting for a tie but it didn’t happen.

I’m gonna watch. I’m a football junkie so I like watching whatever game is on. Plus, I’m just interested in seeing if the Cardinals are going to finish the job. No reason to hate on them for beating us fair and square. I have my reasons for hating the Steelers though. Man. I hate the Steelers. I REALLY want some chicken wings, too. I haven’t had any in a while.

Just looking forward to the food. Superbowl Sunday has become the next Thanks giving.

I will watch, but don’t really give a shit. It’s been a long time since I’m not looking forward the the Superbowl at all.

Unrelated, but any way you can get the Cardinals merch ads off the site, Jason?

like others have said, Im a football fan as much as I am an eagles fan so ill watch the game.

finding a rooting interest is hard. I cant root for the cardinals. before we play a team I build up a certain animosity towards that team…well now that weve lost to them that animosity has not faded, its really only grown stronger.

but at the same time I cant stand all the steelers crap weve been hearing in the media. all this “the steelers are the best franchise ever, everyone loves them, they do everything right, how can you possibly not like the steelers?” i hate when the media does that shit (ala Brett Favre…). what it comes down to is this…Im rooting for the steelers because if they win the Cowgirls will no longer be tied for most superbowl victories. at the very least the cowboys can get slighted in this one.

I couldn’t agree more. I am not sure what it is. I think it has to do with the roller coaster ride we had this season. We were hot…then not… then resiliant…then no shot at the playoffs…..then the stars align and we demolish the Cowboys in what was essentially the first play off game of the year…… 2 play off wins and then a match up against at team we killed on Thanksgiving. I saw no way we were not making the SuperBowl. I was lineing up tickets and all for the game. Then suddenly and shockingly….season over!

so, yes, i will be at my neighbors cheering on his Steelers ad he did for my Eagles over the past few weeks…. but wind….gone from the sails…..

I’ve been in a football funk ever since last Sunday.

But I’m gonna watch the game because I love the big O vs big D aspect of it…

Even though everything hasn’t been in our favor for an NFC Championship game since that dreaded Tampa Bay loss, I am not totally crushed. I’m not sure why. It’s like I’m almost numb – like we’re the junior varsity Buffalo Bills and were just scripted to always finish out like this.

But truthfully this loss didn’t hurt as bad as Tampa Bay or Carolina. I think our team is young and with some adjustments – we can compete next year.

My biggest concern is for Brian Dawkins – I want him to be the one leading us to a ring while he’s still in pro bowl form. He deserves that.

But as far as this year’s Super Bowl ramp up, not much has changed from my post-game habits that I typically do throughout the season: if we win – I watch ESPN News and SportsCenter as much as I can. And if we lose – I forget about sports and then slowly come back to the fold by logging onto this site.

And for tomorrow? I’m rooting for the commercials!
