What a boring Super Bowl

[EdenMaster]

I thought last years was bad (even though it did turn around in the second half), but this was just terrible. There were a few good plays, but they were offset by all the fumbles, interceptions, sacks, and incomplete passes.

I hope next years is better. Your thoughts?

[geoboy]

Last year's Super Bowl was bad?

Anyway, I agree that this year's pretty much sucked. And as far as commercials go, the Budweiser skydiving one made me laugh the hardest. It caught me completely off guard. ^^

[OB1]

I agree.

I didn't see Bo Jackson anywhere.

[Weltall]

Both teams played very poorly. This wasn't a very good game. Last years' was really, really good though. It just had the wrong result.

And of course, surprise-surprise, the Pats win by 3 points. Yet again.

[EdenMaster]

Last years game was good...in the second half. The first two quarters were excruciatingly boring. In my opinion, a good Super Bowl consists of four good quarters. Make I'm asking too much, but that's just my feeling.

[A Black Falcon]

I didn't watch. Well, I was on that channel for like 20 minuites, but I wasn't paying attention...

[Great Rumbler]

I didn't watch the Super Bowl this year...or last year...

[OB1]

But you'd watch it if Bo Jackson were playing, right?

[Great Rumbler]

Well, yeah. Or if the Cowboys were playing, but who know when the next time that will be.

[The Former DMiller]

It was really bad this year. Even though the game was close it didn't have that "edge" to it that makes for a good game. Probably due to the overall mediocre play by both teams. The commercials were horrible too, and even worse than usual. The only commercial that made me laugh was the FedEx commercial making fun of Super Bowl commercials.

[deanna]

I thought the MC Hammer commercial was cool...

[Darunia]

All football is boring. Now BASEBALL--man I can't wait for the season to begin! Woo-hoo!

[Great Rumbler]

Go, Rangers! This year is your year!!

[EdenMaster]

All football is boring. Now BASEBALL--man I can't wait for the season to begin! Woo-hoo!

Yeah! What could be more exciting than someone hitting a ball with a stick and running in a circle! Please. Football PWNZ Baseball six ways from Super Bowl Sunday.

I so agree with you


I didn't watch the super bowl...but I can tell you one thing, football rocks. No doubt about it.

[Weltall]

At least football records are legitimate.

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah, let's have fun watching fat people run into eachother at full speed! Sounds like great entertainment to me!

Baseball is far better and more interesting than football.

[Great Rumbler]

Ping-pong is more interesting than baseball and football!!

[The Former DMiller]

Baseball > Football

I've put it in equation form so you can't deny it now.

[Great Rumbler]

Heh. :D

I like watching college football more than professional.

The rankings:
1. College Football
2. Baseball
3. Proffesional Football

[Darunia]

Football is for big dumb people who like to see big dumb people tackle eachother. The score doesnt change often enough, and when it does its almost always by increments of 7.

And like Dmiller said, since its in equation, you can't dispute it.

[Great Rumbler]

The score doesnt change often enough

That's what college football is for.

[OB1]

Ping-pong is more interesting than baseball and football!!

Ping Pong is like the coolest thing ever. *is teh awesomer at ping pong*

The movie is great, too.

[Great Rumbler]

Foosball is better than Ping Pong.

[OB1]

What? You're mad. There's a reason why they don't play "foosball" in the olympics, weirdo!

[deanna]

They play ping pong in the olympics??? Wow...I never knew that *seriously*

[Fittisize]

Heh. :D

I like watching college football more than professional.

The rankings:
1. College Football
2. Baseball
3. Proffesional Football

It goes:

1. NHL Hockey
2. Pro football (CFL slighty more than NFL)
3. MLB Baseball
4. NBA Basketball
5. College Basketball (Canadian sports networks have starting airing college ball games, and they're pretty fun to watch--becoming an Illinois fan)
6. Lacrosse
7. Poker
8. Curling
33. College football. I don't see the big deal.

[EdenMaster]

But you see a big deal (or any deal) about curling?

[Fittisize]

Part of my heritage.

[A Black Falcon]

I think that China has won every single ping-pong Olympic medal... or just about all of them. They have an amazing ping-pong team.

College football... I don't care. Seems like a southern thing to me, putting college sports above professional ones... sure, I like our college teams, but competing with the pro teams? No way!

[Fittisize]

Exactly. What's so fun about cheering so hard about second-tier teams??

[A Black Falcon]

Don't tell that to sports fans from places like Oklahoma, I don't think they think that way... :)

I don't get it either though. It's just college...

[OB1]

Professional ping pong is just about the most amazing thing you can watch. The speed, the skills on display... just wow. Amazing stuff, really.

[A Black Falcon]

True. It might sound silly, but if you ever saw it you'd understand... they are simply amazing.

[Great Rumbler]

College football is just a lot more exciting than professional football. Plus I can actually cheer for a team from my state and they actually have a chance of winning, unlike those crazy Cowboys who lose all the time, and I'd have to cross state lines anyway.

[Darunia]

One of the biggest drawbacks to the NFL is that your fav. football only competes once a week, and a few times a year. BASEBALLE on the other hand--christ, during season, they can play 6 or so times a week, sometimes they even had double-headers! There's over a 150 games per team per season. Every night you can enjoy a game. Such is not so with football.

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah... 162 or 16? Which would you prefer? :)

[EdenMaster]

So your philosophy is quantity over quality, eh? Well, hat's off, then. Not my style.

[A Black Falcon]

Oh, quality is good too, but when you can have quality and quantity or less of both, I'll take the better option. :)

That's exactly what I don't like about the other sports. They play so many damn games. In football, each and every game has meaning. You lose one game, and you're in trouble. You have to play your balls off every single sunday to get on top and stay there. It also means that you have to take every opponent seriously, because losing to a crappy team playing spoiler has major ramifications sometimes.

I also like the idea of single-elimination playoffs, as in contrast, you have to wait a whole week to find out who advances, whereas we get to enjoy one extraordinarly stress-filled afternoon knowing at the end of the day, it's all decided.

As Sox fans, I can't imagine you'd agree :D It's just that having dozens of games every year makes each one pretty meaningless on its own.

[A Black Falcon]

I think exactly the opposite way... football puts far too much emphasis on every game. It's better when the season really matters. The season, not just a few games... baseball has a long season, the longest of any of the pro sports, and that means that by the end the teams who're in the playoffs have really earned it, I'd say... it's much less of a thing of chance than a thin little 16 game season is, for sure.

Yes, it means that you can lose five in a row and it's not the end of the world. So? How is that so bad?

I mean, the Red Sox play each team in their division 19 times a year (and then the other 9 teams in the AL 6 or so times each and four or so NL teams 3-6 times in interleague play). 27 if, like the Sox and Yankees the last two years, they also have a 7-game postseason series after that. And it's great! 27 games between the Sox and Yankees in each of the last two seasons... :)

Single-elimination playoffs? Awful! 3 games is pushing it, but 1... that has such a massive luck element, one bad game and you're out... ick. No, give me a good 7-game series which guarantees to a much larger extent that the better team will truly win.

[Geno]

Yeah, the Super Bowl sucked this year. American Dad was good though. :D

[OB1]

It's kinda of like a non-funny version of Family Guy.

[Great Rumbler]

Actually, it's kind of like a funny version of Family Guy...except that Family Guy is already funny, so I guess what I mean is that it's a lot like Family Guy...

[OB1]

It's not nearly as funny as Family Guy. It's basically Family Guy with a right-wing dad and a bunch of ancient Bush/Cheney jokes.

[Great Rumbler]

I liked it, especially the parts where Stan shoots the toster and where he steals the purse.

[OB1]

Yeah well it might cause Fox to cancel Arrested Development which is ten hundred thousand bajillion times better than it, and because of that it is my worst enemy.

[A Black Falcon]

OB1, Fox cancels almost all its good shows, good excuse or no...

[The Former DMiller]

American Dad sucked. I didn't find it funny at all. I'm just looking forward to Family Guy coming back in May.

[OB1]

Well the thing is that with American Dad, Fox has been waiting forever to debut the show (that's why the political jokes are so old; the pilot was finished over a year ago), and they finally did during the Superbowl which naturally got it huge ratings (all shows that get aired after the Superbowl do great). And because the idiots did not choose to air Arrested Development that night, Fox now thinks that American Dad will do better on a weekly basis so they're going to order less episodes of Arrested, possibly even cancelling it. Oh and they have to finish the season before the end of April. So Fox might cancel their best show in over a decade because they were too fucking retarded to show it after the game. It certainly doesn't help that all of Fox's ads for the show make it look like a retarded NBC sitcom.
