Stupid Bowl Sunday
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in TV | Posted on 03-02-2013
I guess I wouldn’t be a guy and the huge sports fan that I am without mentioning the Super Bowl, or as I like to call it, the “Stupid Bowl” since it is really stupid how much hype there is over one stinkin’ football game.
Here’s the thing. For most of my life I have made a big deal out of this day. I’d go to parties at friends houses or hit up a bar with good drink specials and giant taco bars. If you’re going to a bar for the Super Bowl you better make damn sure they have a giant taco bar.
The broncos were always good about giving homeless people a place to hang out on Sundays.
But the problem with all of that is you can’t really watch the game. People are always talking through the good plays, funny commercials and shitty halftime shows leaving someone like me who actually kind of wants to see the game pissed off.
So the last few years I have solved this problem. I stay home. By myself. Today will be no different. My Lady Friend isn’t really into sports so she may not watch the game, leaving me truly alone on the couch. It’s going to be awesome.
As for the actual game? I’m rooting for the 49ers. I have a good friend who works for them so it would be cool to see him get a Super Bowl ring.
Whatever you do for the game, I hope your team wins and no jerk talks through the funny commercials. And above all, be sure to enjoy the taco bar!

P.S. I pimped out the blog of one of my funnier followers recently, but she changed her URL and blog name on me. Her joint is called White Girl In Asian Town. Not sure what that means, but I bet you could find out by clicking over and giving her a read! She’s funny!
I have such a strong dislike for everything to do with halftime, I’m essentially a pariah.
The time between halves (half-time), is too damn long!

Not really rooting for any team, I’m just looking forward to a good game.
That being said, I’m glad that the Patriots aren’t here, as well as the Falcons.

We are such dorks we make Super Bowl Bingo to play during the game. Spaces like “49′ers get a first down”, “Ravens sack the QB” and the free space is “Beyonce lip sync’s the half time show”.

The secret to what it means…
I’m white. I live in Seattle. Where a ton of Asians live.
You do the math.
As for me, I’m currently watching Family Guy where I’m having the man friend make me breakfast. Breakfast is good all hours of the day and night. Unless it’s burned… which the man friend does occasionally.
Drink a brewski for me. I’m not drinking because I ordered Insanity and I’m on my way to (hopefully) not being such a fat fuck. (While I’m sitting on the couch being a computer nerd).

I lived in Maryland and now I live near SF. So I have split loyalties. I guess i did really care who won because they were both teams I have an affinity for.
For the me the whole day is all about the food and fun with friends. The game just gives us all an excuse to get together and eat and drink… allot… LOL.

One of the first phrases each of my kids has learned is, “Shhhh! Mommy is watching the game!”
I totally understand your POV on this.

I was informed that I can’t keep calling eating pizza alone while watching HGTV a Superbowl party. At least you watched the game!

It’s good you are young and you still have all that testosterone that gives you some say about what you watch. When you get to be an old bastard and you become more obedient you will switch over right in the middle of the game and watch Downton Abbey so you can see another old hapless bastard watch the world pass him by. There are six or seven TV’s in the house but moving my fat ass is not an option. If you have enough birthdays, you will get to this same place. You probably will not then give much of a damn about football.
