Title: It's the National Sportsball Championship Match day!
Post by: just Warren on February 07, 2021, 03:02:54 PM
I'll be rooting for this Tom Brady kid.

If he does well in this contest he might go on to a great career.

My order of preference:

Southern teams
Midwest teams
East teams
West teams
California teams
Northeast teams

Or whoever hasn't won recently.

I pull for whichever team isn't showcasing how woke their coaching staff is. 

I really enjoyed watching San Francisco lose.  Microsoft made a bunch of commercials touting how great it was they had a lesbo assistant coach, and she was insufferable.  Then they lost  =D That and giving us Kaepernick.

The real point of Superb Owl parties is all the tasty tailgate food.  My sister makes awesome buff dip.

Oh man, you don't know anything.  It's all about knocking down those pins with an oblong ball. Whoever can knock down the most in four 20 minute quarters scores the most home runs.

Can't wait for the reaction to that National Anthem rendition.  Even by my relaxed standards that was some crap.

I'm watching something else for the same reason I stopped watching football. All the calls go Brady's way.

I watched the first half off and on. The Jones penalty should have been a wash. The last penalty should have been on at least Brady or a wash.

They can kiss my butt.

That was not the National Anthem. Other than being noise, I don't know what it was, but it was NOT the National Anthem.

I watched maybe 15 minutes of the toilet bowl... not for the performance of the whiney little bitch millionaires on the field, but for the commercials.

The commercials I saw in the first quarter were uniformly terrible, so I flipped over to my DVD to watch some stuff that I had recorded.

Watching the #SuperBowl and seeing so many people in one place is making my heart race. This feels...unsafe.

And, I guess I’m rooting for the team with the racist name over the team with the Trump-loving QB, in a sport that still hasn’t apologized to Colin Kaepernick... #SBLV

Laughable.  Colin Kaepernick should be grateful to the NFL for paying him a boat load of money for only 1 successful year as an NFL QB.  He would have kept playing if he had wanted to keep playing.

Red versus Blue… Sure, team blue was all #RESIST for the last four years and endless goofy investigations, but if you think security videos of 50 mystery boxes being delivered by a Detroit election van at 3:00 AM is worthy of an audit you are basically a terrorist who needs to be cancelled and driven from society.

Larry sure does have a way with words, and I can't really disagree with any of them.

A bit off-topic from the Stupor Bowl: I am fairly fed up with this insincere rhetoric about "unity" and "healing" and "meeting in the middle."  The people in power have no interest in any of that.  They want capitulation, period.

Colbert's is being slammed as supremely unfunny, apparently Dolly Parton is catching flack for hers being "tone deaf," and complaints about a couple of others, as well.

I'm surprised that no one from the American Fat ass Union is screaming about Matthew Mcaughney's flat man Doritos commercial being an exercise in body shaming.

I love these middle of the country ads, like the Jeep and some margarine(?) ad running now that completely leaves out AK and HI as though they were afterthoughts to the whole states thing. Still sitting at the kids table I guess.  ;/

I posted about the Jeep ad elsewhere here. I didn't have that much of a problem with it other than I felt it was the "we know better than you" libs wanting to give flyover country a pat on the head and a, "we'll make everything okay". I can roll my eyes at being talked down to. The "you must be reprogrammed" stuff is what gets me riled up. Most libs seem to be reacting to the Jeep video the same way as the snowplow woman. "No absolution!!!"

"The middle" seems to head more left every day.  That's what compromise buys them.

I guess that commercial was about the least "pure left" they could get away with.  (The exact geocenter of the U.S. varies with definition.  Do you include the Florida Keys or not, for example?  I reckon it's not going to be long before the question will be, "Do we include Mexico or not?")
