Hopefully you liked the Coca-Cola and Disney ones. Go buy their products. I own their stock. WINNING!

You mean there's nothing you would rather be doing than watching a crappy, staged game? Don't you have dreams? Aren't you worried about the current state of this country?
Why are you posting on CD?

And LOL at "staged game". You're funny. You think everything you don't agree with or like is staged.

Showing up to a pre-season game is not the same effort-wise as watching the Superbowl though.

For the Superbowl, all one really needs to do is turn on thier TV.

The slightly more effort version? Get in your car, drive to your buddy's house (or a local bar), watch them turn on their TV. Maybe stop and get some beer along the way.

People who go further than that are generally fans of one of the teams involved and for most of them it is a once in a lifetime event.

Lol you're telling me they would NEVER call a timeout to run ads? NEVER?

Haha what industry do you think I work in to make such a claim?

You're probably right, but I am hopeful each off season...that hope is usually gone by week two. Hopefully the new owner will make the team more productive.

Heck, I would be fine with cutting the Ravens a check to buy all of their players.

I had no clue that is what time they went back on. Yo, CBS, NFL, Obama and everyone else in on this fake game - you should have turned the lights OFF at 9:11. That would have really ****ed with James' head.

No. At 7:11 PM. Just one of the joys of living west of the Mississippi.


I watched most of the game, though I did go back and forth between it and the third repeat of the Puppy Bowl. Great group of puppies this year!

Perhaps you should run for office rather than ***** online about the superbowl.

By the way, the Super Bowl doesn't even come close to the World Cup soccer finals. So no, the Super Bowl is not the most watched event in history.
Soccer is no big at all in Canada or the U.S. in fact it only gets TV Coverage if something funny happens or a highlight of a wicked or unusual goal is scored otherwise it is not really covered or talked about on ESPN.
