1. I don’t care about football. It’s not that I hate it, I just don’t feel strongly about any of the football things. It reminds me of Clarice doing color commentary in Steel Magnolias – sure, technically it’s football but not in the sport-y sense.
2. Why do so many teams make part of their uniform white? WHITE?? This makes no sense to someone who does laundry.
3. I don’t understand the whole Slime Zone thing. Is there a big Nichelodeon audience tuning in to this game?
4. First female Super Bowl referee? Woo hoo! Go Team Girls!
5. Commercials are forever and always the most interesting part of this event.
6. The theme for this year seems to be flashback. Hello, Edward Scissorhands, nice to see you driving that fancy car.
7. Yesterday was the perfect excuse for making seven different sorts of appetizers and snacking our way through dinner. Drat. I guess I’ll have to name a “Super Bowl Day Observed” and do it then.
8. The halftime show was pretty good but why can’t I ever remember the channel that runs the Puppy Bowl? I can’t ever find it and you know how I feel about the fur babies.
9. Wait, it’s not like cow patty bingo, right? ‘Cause football’s boring but not boring enough to tune into a dog poop competition.
10. It’s amazing the goodies you can find when you’re only giving 37% of your attention to the tv. Check it out.
And I can watch the gymnast all day long. Sound UP! Bless.
Yes yes yes to the UCLA women’s gymnastics team. I swear I love them so much. Extraordinarily talented, very brown, and the team hypes their athletes like no other.

Honestly, I could feel the joy oozing through the screen as I watched. So incredibly talented!

For years I couldn’t have cared less about football or the Super Bowl but starting in 2019 a shortish fellow named Patrick Mahomes began to play for the KC Chiefs. Next thing you know I’ve flipped for him and some of the members of the team like Kelce, Mathieu, and others. I don’t know what they do, except PM is the QB and throws the ball. Most of these players could be my grandsons. Anyway, I fell asleep last night before the game was over. Congrats to the winners!

It’s all about the personal connection, isn’t it? I’m glad it’s giving you a fun pastime. We can use all of those we can get right now!

I’m not watching anymore…it’s too consuming. The hubster doesn’t know football well either but he knows soccer.

Is it bad to say I haven’t seen a Super Bowl in 30 years.

We only saw fleeting moments of the game/commercials. Game meh. Toyota commercial for adoption handicapped olympics gold medal score.

I must have been out of the room and missed that one but I hear it was stirring. I’ll have to go look it up.

Laura, I had hoped for a more competitive game, but super bowls are usually not competitive games. A few very poignant commercials were aired – the one about the champion swimmer who was adopted, but had to have her legs amputated beneath the knee BEFORE the adoption was a hands down winner as a tearjerker. I am watering up and my wife was crying.
By the way, nice picture of you and hubby I presume? Take care, Keith

It is. Thank you! We had family photos taken by a local photographer several years ago. I’ve been meaning to schedule another session but then the ‘rona took over and everything got put on hold. 🙂

I was at a 31% level and didn’t live the halftime but did live the guy from oatley playing his keyboard in the field. My favorite commercial, not overdone and funny

My favorite part about this year was not having to either come up with a believable excuse to decline an invite or feigning interest in public Super Bowl. Sometimes covid has silver linings.
