You watching the Super Bowl?

[Fansince88]

I struggled with which team I wanted to win. After a week I have decided it is the Chiefs. I just cant take the Marsha love. Look at that team and the bulk of stars there. Tom, JP, Gronk, Evans, Fournette, Suh and the list goes on. I don't want the team that bought their championship to win.....But mostly I don't want Marsha to win. So like many Dems' said anyone but Trump when they didn't want Biden. I say anyone but Tommy when I don't want the Chiefs.

I’ll watch.....because it’s the Super Bowl and the sting of losing has kind of subsided. I’ll also hope the Chiefs win because it feels a little better to lose to the Champs. 

 

I think the point has been proven that Marsha > Belichick. No need to give the little cheating whiner more rings. Enough already!

I asked Hubby if he was watching, and he just grimaced.

Looks like Hallmark Channel has a Golden Girls marathon tomorrow.

Lifetime is showing Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail and then Sister Act.

Discovery has “Moonshiners: Master Distiller - Navy Strength Rum; TNT. Has Aquaman; chopped will feature Comfort Food Feud: Pizza; SCI Mysteries of the Abandoned has reruns; and TLC is showing 1,000 Lb Sisters S2Ep 3 where Tammy and Amy blame each other for their issues in therapy. 
 

Such a dilemma! And I haven’t even checked what How It’s Made is featuring yet.

I am not planning on watching.  With the Bills out and Marsha in, no interest.

The NFL somehow managed to play every one of its scheduled games this year, though a few of them had to be delayed or relocated. That’s fairly impressive when you consider all of the complications of the plague. But now that Super Bowl Sunday is upon us, will viewers be returning in droves for what is typically one of the highest-rated television events of the year? Not all of them, at least according to a new poll released this week by Morning Consult. The drop in anticipated viewership is being seen more among Republicans than Democrats and it’s at least partly due to the league’s embrace of left-winig political ideology and social just mantras.

Despite both Super Bowl LV contenders hailing from states that backed Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Marsha’s ties to No. 45, Republicans are less likely than Democrats to watch Sunday’s game, according to pregame polling data.

It’s the latest sign that, after years of regaining their affection, the NFL has once again fallen out of favor with the party of Lincoln.

In a Morning Consult poll conducted Jan. 25-26, 59 percent of Republicans said they were likely to tune in this weekend, 10 percentage points less than the 69 percent of Democrats who said they expected to watch. The gap in expected viewership this year is far larger than prior to each of the past two Super Bowls and comes in the wake of a season during which members of the GOP turned on the league due to its embrace of social justice activism.

 

I hadn’t really noticed this trend previously, but it seems that more Democrats have planned to watch the big game than Republicans for several years now. But the gap has historically been smaller. It was only four percent in 2020 and three percent in 2019. We can’t blame this one on the novel coronavirus, though. If anything, Americans have been watching considerably more television during the lockdown. Netflix, in particular, has really benefitted from a literally captive audience across the country.

I’ll say no right up to kickoff time, but I will probably cave in.

I’m rooting for an indefinite postponement. 

 

Yep, I knew I’d cave in.

Here’s to a defensive, physical slobberknocker.

This should be a Super Bowl Halftime Act:

Just back from skiing, which was great but now I'm wiped out and in need of a few beers.  So given that it's unlikely I move from the sofa for the rest of the day, I suppose I will watch the football.

  "WHAT ?"

[SabreKV]

Nope...Flipping from Impractical Jokers to The Incredible Dr. Pol.

Can't wait to see the ratings.  I was at a Mexican restaurant and it was packed.
