I'm not watching it right now.

Stopped supporting the pro sports and Hollywood over paid brats long ago.
Most new movies suck.

Oops did I miss the fooseball again?!? Butts.

I did however catch the highlights later. I watched the trailer for Stranger Things. From what I could tell it was the very best part :)

They say that the last Super Bowl was so dramatic that they are going to make a movie about it.

So if you did NOT watch the game, you can NOT watch the movie about it.

No No!

I couldn’t care less about the Super Bowl. A few years ago friends and I got together and watched Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor on Super Bowl Sunday, which I guarantee was just as spectacular as any halftime show. Not sure what we’ll decide to watch instead this weekend.

This new era of not accepting the outcome is BS.
Yeah it was a bad call but lots of them are made, make a review rule or don't till then not much you can do about it.

Serena Williams vs Naomi Osaka Serena went all bitch cakes on the ref as well.
I think it was a great moment for Naomi Osaka ruined by Serena Williams whining.

Stopped watching most sports many years ago due to the bad athletes and the way they act on and off the field, court whatever.

Used to hear people say the table slanted as I beat them at pool, and I would say yeah I know I'm playing on the same table.

I feel the same way about the Super Bowl as I do about the other once-"must see" televised events, like the Oscars: their heyday is past, and now it's just hype, or ultra-politicized, and there are so many more meaningful things I can do with my time. Maybe I'll miss out on conversation about it with people the following Monday, but it's not a big loss, and everyone will move on to something else by Tuesday.

My mother-in-law is into the sportsballing, so we go over to her place on invitation, more for the socializing, food, and to play with her dog. I get a lot of reading done as well. I'm currently working on my second book on Pleistocene geology and this will give me a good opportunity to rip through scientific journal papers.

Derailment....

As someone who is not only going to be watching the Super Bowl, but in fact hosting a super bowl party, what is an appropriate cocktail to serve the guests? Football watching seems more of a beer drinking activity, but I don't think I can bring myself to doing that. I'm thinking maybe Mai Tai's would be a good tie in, since I'm routing for the bay area team and that's the home of the original Mai Tai. But would prefer to do a party punch and not make drinks to order or one at a time, so maybe an amplified Vic scorpion bowl. Any famous drinks hail from Kansas City?

Good one! Not great for a punch though. Something dawned on me. Since the super bowl takes place on Groundhog Day, I'm going to derive a Punxsutawney Punch!

HAHA!!! That is my favorite drink! Thanks for the reminder. I may need to re-watch the movie, again, for further inspiration. But yes, I don't see why I couldn't at least incorporate sweet vermouth, rocks and a twist.

Instead of watching the Stupor Bowel, I spent the evening enjoying "The Mind of Mr. Soames" (1970) starring General Zod playing a 30-year old baby wearing a pink onesie, being chased by constables through the British countryside with Nigel Davenport and Robert Vaughn in hot pursuit. I think I made the right choice.

I did watch it and thought how funny it was to watch these big football players doing these dance moves when they scored a touchdown. they were so girly some of them, one of them even had a "little teapot" looking move at the end of one dance, these big guys even skip around after some plays.

A good Saturday night live skit would be to show those football guys working on their touchdown dance moves at home with a few of their buddies in the mirror.

You know they must work on them before they do them in a game.

That and the commercials. The commercials show you the Zeitgeist of the times and what might be down the road in a small way, that and hot chicks.

Obviously these guys spend a lot of time practicing those dance moves, before deploying them on the football field.
