Supposedly something called a “Super Bowl” is being played this Sunday, and apparently people get excited over it?

I’ve never understood the fervor people show over the Super Bowl.  In the past I would tune in for the commercials they show, but since those started showing up online, why should I bother?

While I have nothing against the game of football, I just don’t get the excitement show over the professional version of the game as it’s just one time delay after another.  When you get up the Super Bowl it gets even worse.  The overblown production of everything down to the coin flip, the silliness surrounding the over produced half-time shows … I just don’t get it.  This game happens once a year, why in the world does it matter so much?

The Olympics?  The World Cup?  Those I get as they only happen once every four years, but people treat the Super Bowl as some sort of religious experience, and it just completely flies over my head.  I can even give you some wiggle room if your usual team makes it, but there are people that could care less normally about the teams that are playing, but yet become huge fans of them for the Super Bowl.

Honestly, if you like the game, fine by me, just don’t look at those of us who couldn’t care less like we’re got a second head and you can’t believe I’m walking around in public with “the normal folks”.  I don’t look at you weird because you still “don’t get” soccer, or actually think the Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event in the world (it isn’t), just watch your game and realize some of us couldn’t care less and that doesn’t make us somehow “wrong”.

I can’t wait to watch some movies on Sunday …
