How about a Super Bowl 49 thread?

Don't make your kids go to bed at the half. Who does that? It's the Super Bowl.

 

One is 3, the other is 10 months.
I'm not some psycho who wouldn't let a 6-year old stay up to watch the home team. I was raised better.

 

Many of us have to work. Quit yer bitchin'.

 

Seahawks win, for the lone reason that 75 percent of the wagers are on the Patriots anywhere from +3 to -1. If Vegas thought the Pats were going to win, they'd be anywhere between -3 and -7, to draw money onto the Seahawks.

 

The Go Daddy ad is pretty funny - as long as you place it in the context of the usual SB ads that play the "puppy card."

I remember when it was a 2-hour pregame and that was considered a big deal.

 

This is clearly a situation that requires jewelry. And maybe an offer of oral sex.

 

Yeah, I don't get the people who bitch about the long pre-game shows. Watch something else. Clean your house.

I'm rooting for the Patriots, but I really don't give a shit at this point.

 

Rhody, watch at home. Kids snooze, you booze.

 

My kids are 7 and 8, and we'll let them stay up to watch. Usually, they'll fall asleep during the third quarter, or if it's such a blowout, I'll say, "Ok, you don't need to stay up to see if Denver loses by 50."

This is the first year I can remember where I'm completely torn who to root for. I'm probably leaning toward rooting for the Seahawks, which is saying a lot from a lifelong 49ers fan.

 

The mark of how good those NFL films were is that they made even the games with the Minnesota Vikings seem watchable. Because in real life, the Vikings were the most dreadful Super Bowl team ever.

 

I'll find out the time of the opening kickoff and turn on the TV about three minutes beforehand, just so I know of any late-breaking news, such as overnight arrests, one of the team buses stuck in traffic, they replay the official measurement of PSIs, yada, yada . . . I can't think of one good reason to watch pregame.
