Am I the only one that is completely disinterested in this year's SB?

[John813]

Zero interest in the game.
And lately the commercials have been really dumb, so I'll skip this year.

Speak for yourself.......

I think the league is about to be hit w/ a huge wake up call when disgruntled fans stop paying 300.00 for Sunday ticket to watch fixed games....Attendence to NFL games starts going down. I think the NFL has hit it's peak....And is ripe for a new league to come in and steal it's thunder. Fans are fed up nation wide about the state of the league. And It's just not Cowboy fans being butt hurt over a blown call. Everywhere I read people are calling for Roger Goodell head. Blandino's head....Never in the history of this league has there been more turmoil.

That's all minutiae that, end of the day, doesn't really stop people from watching. The fact of the matter is, all of the controversy and whatnot just brings more attentiong to the league...more publicity. For an organization that is driven solely by ratings, that's a good thing. You're high if you think the NFL is going anywhere.

Since LOOOOOOOONG before this year's playoffs, I've always thought that the officiating should never interfere with a game. And I've watched several games where I think the officials have improperly interfered. Until the league gets serious about officials getting it right, the entire credibility of the league is at stake.

Dean Blandino is a comedian who through an internship, became the VP of officiating for the entire league. They've hired him for his likeability, but he is MASSIVELY unqualified, having never referee'd a game. His internship should be terminated immediately, in my mind their mistake began when they promoted him to VP. He's a smooth talker, still an intern in my mind, who doesn't have football sense whatsoever.

Wow!!!!! Did not know he was just an intern. Like I've been saying for years.....It's not what you know...It's who you know.

The respectability of this league just took another hit in my eyes. It's in complete shambles.

I bet this SB gets all time high ratings. This will only feed the monster.

I'll watch it, as I do every year. But I'm more interested in the commercials than I am the game this year. I don't care who wins most of the time, unless there's an underdog or a team who hasn't had a Superbowl in a long time or I feel is deserving of one. Unless of course it's someone other than us in the East representing. In a case like that naturally I'm rooting for the other team. I just wish they'd hurry up and get it over with so we can start Free Agency!

 

[Doomsday101]

I'm not pumped for this SB but I look forward to watching it. It is the biggest game in the NFL. As a fan I just hope it is an exciting and close game, who wins I really do not care. I have had several people ask me who I was pulling for in the game and if I had to pick one over the other it would be the Seahawks over the Pats.

For me, it is more about hosting or attending a Super Bowl party and comradery of family and friends than any entertainment value I anticipate gaining from the game itself. I could not care less about any Super Bowl unless the Cowboys are playing in one. It is way more entertaining for me re-watching any of Dallas's eight Super Bowls. Super Bowls V, X and XIII are always pretty painful each re-watch. Then again, it is Dallas and the agony is worth it. Go Cowboys.

If Cowboys were playing I would not be hosting or attending any SB party. It would be just me and my family like always when the Cowboys are playing. Do no want outside distractions. lol

I understand completely. I hosted one for Super Bowl XXX. A couple of my guests started telling me to calm down, stop yelling, and saying, "It's just Dallas." I told both of them to step. Brother-in-laws can be so stupid sometimes. There was free beer and they were both alcoholics. Idiots.

Of course, they were sober at the time, so it saved me the cost of calling them a cab. It's like I won the Super Bowl twice in one night, lol.

Yeah I would have to do some killing, having people in my face while watching the Cowboys in the SB that is not going to happen. lol

 

[ringmaster]

Goodell is disgusting in my book. I'm tired of the NFL turning itself into the voice for social causes. Its FOOTBALL. And guess what, some of us don't agree with the positions you choose on some of your social causes. And honestly, I don't think it represents the NFL as much as it represents Roger Goodell. I'm ready for him to be gone, I'm ready for the trashy officiating to be improved, and I'm ready for the game to return to being a great game not a game driven by the desire to appeal to the lowest rung of the fan ladder.

That is the post of the day!!!!

 

[Wayne02]

it is what it is. say good bye to seahawks and the pats. They wont taste an SB for awhile after this. Here come the Cowboys SB L50!

You may be right about Seattle, but I don't see a team from the AFC that will stop the Patriots from returning to the Super Bowl next year.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

fair point. i just don't see the pats being able to be back a 7th time considering pregame "ball security" will be a lot different next season.

 

[Sarge]

I think it's going to be a great game and am looking forward to watching it and having a few PBRs.

 

[JD_KaPow]

I'm not disinterested: I want the Seahawks to beat the Patriots.

I am pretty uninterested, though: I'm not that excited about watching it.

My football season ended on January the 11th.

That is completely disinterested in this year's SB?

In 32 of the past 37 years that the Cowboys were not in the SB I was still excited to watch the "Big Game" - despite my team not being in it. My love for football and the excitement of a team being crowned a world champion was enough to draw me in. The biggest difference from the cowboys super bowl years versus non super bowl years was I only watch the pregame stuff for cowboys SB's. It didn't even matter who was the SB even when I despised both teams (NY/NE several years ago comes to mind) I still was eager to watch the game. This year is different. I really could care less about this game. I am much more interested in watching the Australian Open Men's final than watching the SB. The events that unfolded this year have really jaded me to football. I thought after a week I would be over our playoff lost, ready to move on - watch the pro bowl....watch the SB...and start gearing up for the offseason, FA, the draft etc. just like every year. However, this year I can't let the Dez call go (mostly because of how Bandino and the rest of the league/media has responded to it. Had they came out and admitted it was he wrong call and they messed up, I might have been able to move on. But this constant BS they are throwing at us (as if we were too stupid to figure it out on our own) and expecting us to go along with their BS excuses is insulting. Add in the handling of deflatgate which reeks of pushing the issue under the rug and displays a clear lack of morals and integrity by the league (the same league that acknowledges that the members of the NFL are role models for children), especially after 3-4 other occurrences when NE was found guilty of cheating. I also included how they handle off field issues with no consistency and at the discretion of the commissioner (unless there is a public outcry then we will be responsive), or the fact that the league admitted to collusion (not only a violation of the collective bargaining agreement but also federal law) yet penalize two teams for playing within the rules. Ohhh, and did I mention the wussification of the league?

I know this was a long rant, but am I the only one feels this way? If so, maybe I need therapy.

I don't have slightest desire to watch football. This is what my son told me today. "Daddy, let's not watch cheaterbowl, let's play catch instead" Yep. No Superbowl in Shunpike House.

That is AWESOME!!

No Cats and the Crades for you!!

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I think you have to ask yourself, "Ok, when the game is over how will I feel?"

My answer is this - "nothing, not even the fee for the gaming license".... NO, I am kidding.

But really = nothing!


I will look forward to media blasting Pats for losing 3 SB post cheating.
If they win, they are still gonna be roasted by media for cheating.




More like a movie for me lol

 

[jobberone]

No.
