I Really Don't Care About The Super Bowl This Year

PrintMaybe it was the bad season for the Eagles, maybe its because the Giants and Patriots are in the game again... but I really don't care about the Super Bowl this year. I don't even know that I realized how little I cared until today. I haven't watched even one bit of TV coverage of the event, I haven't really read anything... and it's Friday.
Its not even like I've been purposefully avoiding it either. I just don't care. I figured that as it got closer, I would start to look forward to it and get into the game... but it never happened. I don't care about the commercials, the halftime show (although I've never cared about the halftime show)...
And to be honest, I don't even want to watch the game. I feel like I will because, you know, it's the Super Bowl... But I really have no specific plans and frankly, the idea of sitting through the whole affair is something I dread. I just want the game and this season to get over with as soon as possible.
So what is your level of interest in this game? Are you looking forward to it? Will you even watch?

Of course you are going to watch it.

I think I’m going to watch it, but it looks like I am going to watch it with people who are pretty much in the same boat. Really, its just an excuse for me and a bunch of friends to get together for a pot luck, and drinking games with some football in the background.
Also, I too haven’t really seen any Super Bowl coverage. I’m not trying to avoid it and so far the only thing I’ve really seen is ESPN throwing up something called “The Boston TE Party” which made me barf. Honestly, what little Super Bowl coverage I have seen has only made me hate this Super Bowl more.
Let the beasting begin.
I'll be watching...
I admit I felt the same way. No Eagles and I hate the giants.
The more I thought about it, I really think this could be a good competitive game and worth watching for fans of football.
So, Yes Virginia I will be watching and cheering against the Giants.
The only Super Bowl I almost didn’t watch was Bucs-Raiders. I was still highly pissed the Eagles blew another chance at going to the Super Bowl, but ultimately, I watched.
From a fan perspective, I checked out on this season after the Cardinals loss, so there’s been some level of disinterest for a while now.
You can always find a bookie. That always makes any game more interesting.
This is the first year that I totally skipped the divisional weekend. And on conference title weekend, I only caught the end of the Giants v 49ers game.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook.
There’s just such a bad taste left in my mouth after this year that I honestly don’t give a fuck.
Prediction: the 3-4 will be out of style in two years.
So no, I will not shut up about stupidity.

That’s unfortunate. I mean even though the results of the conference games sucked, they were still good games.

I am completely apathetic as well. I’ve thought of a way I would be happy with the outcome though.
Picture this if you will; JPP nails Brady and he goes down crying in the first quarter. Then the Patriots back-up QB comes in and wins the game. The Giants get shited by a back-up and Brady doesn’t win the game. WOO HOOO! Fingers crossed.

I'm will have it on
But c’mon, Giants vs. Patriots, and Madonna is doing the half-time show? FML.

I'm going to watch it with some friends
but will be mainly consumed with food, beer, talking with said friends, and discussing how awful Madonna is.

So what is your level of interest in this game?
Zero. This was the worst case scenario match up that I had in mind when the playoffs started. I want the Giants to lose, but that means that the Patriots win. Like you I have not even paid attention to the media coverage. In fact, I have made an effort to avoid the media coverage.
Are you looking forward to it?
I am looking forward to it being over so a) I don’t have to hear about it any more and b) we can get on with the off season.
Will you even watch?
No. I am taking my wife to dinner and a movie instead. If I were to watch this game I would need a lot of beer and I have a busy day at work coming up Monday, starting at 6:30 AM.
Go Eagles!
I am looking forward to it being over so a) I don’t have to hear about it any more and b) we can get on with the off season.
Yes and fuck yes.

Not watching what is going to be the worst Super Bowl game in recent years. Plus I’m not going to stand either fanbases after this game – “omgz, Pats teh gretest franzise eva!” or “LOLOLZ MOAR SUPA BOWL WINZ THAN TEH IGGLES WERE WINNERZ.”

Well I've found something to watch on Sunday
Philadelphia Passion will be playing against LA in Lingerie Bowl IX. MTV2 @ 4PM. I’ll be watching the Superbowl when it comes on, but only cause my inlaws will be over.. and they’re Pats fans. The Harbaugh bowl would have been fun, but they both had players that choked. I was hoping for a better Superbowl for my bday.
A lot of things make sense now.
I'll watch it...
I only hope Brady shreds that secondary and their defense shuts down the Giants. Just to put those stupid trollers who came here after the NFC Championship in their place.
Remember, no one really ever remembers the SB loser.

Are they adding anything new this year?
First it was the kitten halftime show, then the tailgaters (honestly not sure of the order), then the national anthem bird… and the labs from that movie in the blimp. What new gimmick they adding this year?
A lot of things make sense now.
Yeah, I'll watch
but I won’t care that much. I hate both teams, so it’s hard to know who to root against…

Root for both quarterbacks to have an awful game so the talking heads of the sport media will stop treating them like the greatest thing including sliced bread.
Root for the most obnoxious players on the teams to make embarrassing mistakes and incur penalties.
Root for the officiating crew to put on an impressive show of incompetence.
Root for the cheerleaders to have several wardrobe malfunctions.
Root for the game to turn out such an embarrassment that even the fans of the winning team are ashamed to have won it.

Root for the officiating crew to put on an impressive show of incompetence.
If that happens we have to hear whining and bitching about it. I’d prefer all the incompetence to be done by players & coaches.

That's a fair point
My wife thinks that I am being a big baby for not watching the game. But, I watched the last Giants-Patriots game and did not enjoy it. At all. Why do something that I do not enjoy? I’d have to drink myself into oblivion to get through the game and I don’t feel like doing that on a Sunday night.
I’ll enjoy going to the movies with my wife much more than watching the game, so why not do that?
Go Eagles!
this is an interesting game to watch
I actually disagree, the matchup kinda bores me. Niners vs Ravens would have been MUCH more entertaining.

I feel you
To be honest, ever since the loss against the Falcons, slowly began to doubt the Eagles and after I listened to the Cardinals game, I just fell thru on the Eagles and now 2 of my top 3 most hated teams are playing and I honestly don’t care for the game. I’m going over to my friends house for the SB party (and the fact that he’s a G-men fan makes it worse), but I’ll be there more socially than for anything else.

I have to work...
…I have a fairly important document due for a client on Monday evening. If I actually cared, I might watch the game and then sit up late working on it, but since I don’t, I might as well bill some hours. Although I will be happy if the Giants lose.
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
Gotta watch it. Even if you don’t watch for the game, you watch for the commercials, you bring friends over and get a little drunk or watch alone and get belligerently drunk. And I love watching games between two teams I hate. Every fumble, sailed pass, interception, missed field goal, etc., is worthy of celebration. After all, as much as we hated to watch it, the last time these two teams met it was a hell of a game, and I’d be kicking myself if I’d missed that one.

You know what
as much as it pains me to say this I dont see this being a great game. I see the Giants winning with ease, 10+ point victory. If the patriots fall behind at any point and the Giants just flat out can unleash that D that some how became the best in the playoffs is going to murder them, I will be watching just because it is football but will be doing other stuff I need to do and will not hurt my feelings to miss a quarter or 3 lol
oh and let
me just make a point on why this is so painful is because these giants that will win this superbowl, we own them and have for years, sorry Blue you know this is the truth but somehow you M*@#$%( &$*#^@ end up with the rings , go figure that shit
This
is why I’m so bitter about this game. The Eagles have won 7 of the last 8 (or is it 6 of the last 7?) against them. And the Giants won the division with a lousy 9-7 record. And they’re the first team to ever win a division while getting outscored by their opponents. And they were like the 30th ranked pass defense and got shredded all year. Now all of a sudden they get in the playoffs and turn it around while the best teams all year (GB and SF) roll over for them.
That’s why I’m so apathetic about this game.

Yeah, in pure Giants fashion, everything falls in their favor.
I mean this Giants team was awful this year. I mean they were really bad at times. Hell, Vince Young even beat them. Yet, somehow they’re in the SB. If that doesn’t warrant bitterness and envy I don’t know what does.
Well said why in god’s name have they just turned it on in the playoffs. Go to hell GMEN.

This matchup
isn’t boring imo. Two upper-end offenses. Two good QB’s. But I’d much rather watch the defenses of the Niners-Ravens face-off against each other. I’m sure my envy hate of the Giants has something to do with it, but I’d be really looking forward to the Niners-Ravens game right now.
Remember earlier in the CFB season that LSU Bama game that LSU won 6-3? Yeah, I was one of the few people that LOVED that game.

I feel the same way Jason
if I didn’t work for an NBC affiliate and have to work Sunday, I’d probably won’t watch the game. It’s dishearting to ignore football but this is the 2nd worse matchup for my viewing interest that I could think of for an SB (Cowboys vs Pats would be worse IMO).

There should be a 3rd option for the poll.
It should be:

Or,
“Yes, I’ll watch it, but I won’t enjoy it.”
Either of those would be my answer.

But I really don’t care. I guess I want the Pats to win because this time a perfect season isn’t on the line, so I’d rather not see Eli and the Giants get two so close together before we even get another shot at one.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
I will always hate the Patriots more ... ok, maybe tied with Dallas.
Beating us by cheating … BRIDGE BURNED.

Sure, I hate the Patriots- but compared to my hate of the Giants, its nothing. Yes, if they win they’ll be in line with the Niners of the 80’s. And yeah Boston gets yet another championship while we are stuck with one in nearly 30 years. But so what? I’ll take Boston teams over NY teams any day. I couldn’t stand the Giants winning another SB. But the Patriots? Yeah, I can take that. Hell, I wanted the Patriots back in SB42 too.

Being stationed in the bay area I was rooting for the 49ERS 2 weeks ago.
I feel bad for that rookie who fumbled the 2 punts he actually got death threats after the game. I will be watching the game with my Coast Guard buddies. But to be honest I want NE to win. I will not root for them but at all costs the Giants must not win another superbowl.
I just don’t understand how a 9-7 team can shutout ATL go on the road and beat both GB and SF.
I never thought Atlanta was going to make it out of the WC round
and I actually picked new york to beat green bay. Too bad I thought the Saints were going to beat the 49ers
I'll watch it with my roommates more for the food and beer than anything else
Basically a lose-lose situation though. One roommate is an avid giants fan and the other is Pats fan who doesnt pay attention to football but if he sees us watching the pats game and they’re winning he’ll be like “haha”. If they lose “dont care”. Probably going to have to drink til I pass out
Even though this is one of the worst matchups possible, I still find myself rooting for the Patriots
Every Giants fan I know has been the absolute worst sport about making it to the Super Bowl. To act smug towards Eagles fans after their narrow slip into the playoffs and subsequent string of luck is pathetic. I’ll be rooting for Brady to set records against them.

Exactly. You can’t really fault the Patriots for acting smug when they get there. They have Belichick and Brady. They were 13-3.
But the Giants? They slipped into the playoffs, then a string of crazy luck. I could understand talk of how they are glad to be in the Super Bowl, how they played hard and got a little luck. But no, the players and the fans have been yapping for two weeks. They act like they are so much better than the Eagles. Its sickening.
Go Pats. Destroy them.

It's pretty much like another regular season game for me.
This might be the first year I was more interested in the Season opener than the Super Bowl.
I’ll watch with a couple friends just because I’ll feel left out if I didn’t but I will probably be looking down at my phone most of the time while my friends cheer.
"I once had a friend named Charlie, and Charlie was always late to school
He had a black eye one day, but he wouldn’t say just what happened to him
Charlie got mad in class one day, and stood up with a .22 pistol
Told everybody that he couldn’t take it anymore, he was over being the victim"
I’ll watch just to get the taste of the Pro Bowl out of my mouth.

I live in Europe so the game will finish around 3am – I sure as hell ain’t staying up to watch my 2nd and 3rd least favourite teams playing each other.
I’ll catch the highlights on Monday at some stage.
Can’t remember a worse SB matchup – not even 2007 (as the Giants hadn’t won one in ages)
"Time's OURS"
You think it's bad for you?
Try being an Eagles fan living in New england. I know you guys will think I’m crazy but I cheered for the Giants the last time they played the pats in the superbowl and I hate the Giants but at least I don’t have to listen to Giant fans churping all year long. My least favorite teams are the Cowboys, Giants and the Patriots and 2 of them are in the Superbowl but I will still watch as painful as it may be.
fuck both these teams
the patriots cheated us out of a SB and the giants are the fucking giants. this season sucked all the way around. desean was a whiny bitch, offense turned the ball over too much to even blame the defense…nothing positive besides watching shady go beast mode on people every week. fuck this season
Haven’t read the other comments, but I care about this Superbowl more than any since the last Giants-Pats, and probably more than that one. Watching them win one was tough, but it could be attributed to a lucky playoff run. But if a Coughlin and Manning led team can win 2 freaking Superbowls in an era that we mostly dominated the NFCEast, then the only possible explanation is that god really fucking hates the Eagles
You can't bullshit me..You will all be watching the Super Bowl...
The two teams that made it in deserve to be in it..But you will all party and have a good time on Sunday..You will enjoy family and friends and have a blast..You can root for whoever you want..No matter..just have fun and enjoy the game..I lost count of how many games I watched where my team wasn’t in it..I still watched and had alot of fun..Who cares? It’s the biggest game in Sports..have fun with it…I know you will..You’d have to be a fool not to watch a Super Bowl game…There was some clown out here that challenged me when I said I’d root for the Eagles if they were in it..I’ll have him and you all know..I would..My 12 year-old is an Eagles fan..His Uncle is an Eagles fan..I have friends that are Eagles fans..So it was rather insulting, but I don’t care..I root for the NFC…I don’t care who it is..I’m happy we made it this year, but I root for the NFC team representative..So you folks can’t fool me, you’ll be all watching the big game and having fun on Sunday night..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Well honestly...
If the Patriots win, we can all boo the Giants and give Giants fans a hard time. Big Deal. I don’t want lip reading Bill to get another Lombardi. He’s a cheater.
On the other hand, if the Giants win, our division looks stronger and when we beat them twice next year (hopefully) we beat the the champs. The quality of your competition is what makes your team great, and I am looking forward to next year.
The downside of the Giants winning is having to deal with their most arrogant fans, who live too close to Philly for comfort. BBI will be here always, and he will be good natured about his teams win, but expect the trolls to come a marching in. Oh well. I’d prefer the Giants to win. They did a great job this year with a decimated team. Best of luck to the bastards. (said through gritted teeth.)
Whoever you are, when I log off, you cease to exist.
The operative IQ of a group is no higher than that of it's lowest scoring member.
I reserve the right to hold other posters to a higher standard than I myself maintain. Why? Because I am an unrpentent lout. Deal with it.
Hahaha!!!...Great last sentence!!! Igglegreen....LOL!!
You just made me spew out coffee..haha

I got to admit it was pretty sweet knocking them out of the playoffs back in 2008 when they were heralded as the NFC’s best team.
