So who else doesn’t care or watch? Naturally I’ve heard who the playing teams are, but I could not name a coach or player among the two teams. I feel so un-American (?) right now.
But I’ll get over it. 🙂

[b-man]

Don’t care.

Never have.

To each their own.

Pro sports are all rigged anyway, it’s legal because they’re entertainment entities.

It was a good time to go get gas at Costco. Drove right up to the pump. Normally the store/pumps are packed on a Sunday afternoon

Same here. Just not interested.

Don't even know which teams are playing, don't care. Their ratings went into the toilet, and they have no idea how to salvage the mess which they've created. Stuff like scripted wardrobe malfunctions aren't gonna cut it either.

The big one is a dud.

If it doesn't have 4 wheels, turns left at the end of the straightaway, and makes a nice hearty V8 roar, preferably on dirt, and also, I prefer 25 square foot wing on top of it, I'm not watching it, and never have.

Most people use it for an excuse to have a party, and drink too much, because their team won, or their team lost...... Then call in sick to work the next day.

Because I live in Ohio, it seems they take feetsball way too seriously here, OSU etc. I get people asking me all the time "whadya think of that game?" I say, "what game?" because I could care less.

Feetsball takes one ball, racing takes two............

I haven't paid any attention to sports for 35 years. Initially because I realized what a waste of time it was. Now, there are lots of other good reasons too.

What game?

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

When / If the Panthers ever make it to the SuperBowl again - will probably watch that one.

Today its the Eagles vs Chiefs
Good luck to all the fans of those teams.
I hope your team wins ! Let's Go Brandon !

I have to come clean , I cheated .
Haven't had a TV since 2009 .

But after my post last night I googled the score - tie ball game in 4th Quarter.
Well that was impressive
And the top result was a FOX box , that had a link to the live game on web TV.
So I clicked it - and it worked. Never tried that before

Watched it til the end , and I thought they could dispute bad calls for review.
Had the Eagles already reached a limit on that ?

Didn't admire the tactics on the last field goal by the Chiefs , but they won .
Reminded me too much of Dean Smith's old 4 corner offense at UNC Chapel Hill to run out the clock.

I didn't know until Friday.
Googled it Friday to see who had won this year -- and it hadn't been played yet.
LoL

When I saw “Big Game”. I thought it was about an African Safari. Guess not.

I love football but seeing the same team win the AFC Championship and the super bowl on penalties kinda killed my vibe

What are you crying about? That was one of the cleanest officiated SBs in the last 20 years.
Even if the pass interference hadn't been called on that last drive, it just would have meant a longer FG for the Chiefs. Hell, they were trying NOT to score a TD on the last three plays for crying out loud.

Excellent point. But I think they 'only' had 7 defensive points. One apparent touchdown by the same DB that scored on the fumble by the Eagles QB, was 'reversed' when the second fumble was ruled an incomplete pass. Even though the officials didn't blow the whistle in real time, to signal a dead ball.
That is the play that the media is failing to say anything about, so the majority of people that just watch the news/highlights will buy into the hype that they are selling, saying the Eagles were cheated.
It was a controversial call (pass interference) but in reality, it had virtually no effect on the outcome of the game. Like I said before, the Chiefs would have still had a FG from 10-15 yards further out. Their kicker may have missed an earlier attempt from 42 yards (by six inches) but it isn't like he is going to DOINK a second time. His actual winning kick went straight down the middle.
Then the Eagles would have had a little over a minute to try and get a tying FG. Slim odds.

Not a sports fan here;football,golf,tennis,fishing,Nascar,it is all the same to me.

Just not interested.

It's bad enough I have to hear grown men at the gym every morning talk about 'their' teams.
