I just don't see this Superbowl thing ever catching on
Yeah, I agree. It's not hyped up enough.
I will have the Superbowl on...but I won't be watching the game. However, I WILL be watching the commercials. When the actual game is being played, I will be running to the bathroom, getting food, probably doing laundry, getting things ready for the work week. If the snow starts earlier than predicted, I'll go out and shovel during the game if necessary...
Sure...everyone else does now, so I dont see why not...like I said: everyone wants to feel like they're a part of the in crowd...I just don't understand why people feel the need to feign interest in football to give themselves an excuse to swill beer and act like fans of the game. If you want to party, why not just go party?...you (not literally you, but figuratively speaking) don't have to pretend to be interested in football or the superbowl to scream and hi five your buddies every 10 minutes...but whatever...enjoy the game.
I don't know a single person who acts the way you're describing. Do you? Or are you guessing?

well for one thing, that would likely annoy everyone else around you and just be weird
Folks seem to get pretty worked up about something they don't care about.
There are prolly things you like that others consider a waste of time.
Me, I love football. (I even watch the Pro Bowl.)
Don't most people watch the Stupid Bowl for the commercials?
Wassup?! (Commercial for Budweiser, which I'm having now, BTW).
Ha! That and for the Puppy Bowl (imagine a bunch of adorable puppies tripping over each other going nuts over a stuffed football), and to pig out on spicy chicken wings and cider (I don't like beer).
All these people who won't watch the Super Bowl...who knew there were so many un-American Americans among us?
I'm kidding, relax.
IMHO baseball is more American than football. (Not looking for a debate here anyone, just stating my opinion.)
I think that if the World Series was just one game like the Super Bowl, it would have the same public/media response the Super Bowl does. No one wants to sit there and feign interest in at least 4 baseball games (except for the fans of the teams playing). It's much easier to feign interest and have a big party on one day than 4-7. Me, not a fan of football. However, I LOVE baseball and was happy to see my Mets make the World Series this past season.
