Will you be watching the Super Bowl?

[dodsworth]

Let's see where everyone is at on this subject. 

[BOTT]

For whatever reason, when the patriots play in the SB it's usually a instant classic....so of course I'm going to watch.

Agree, games are always close in the SB with Brady so I am going to watch.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Meh. Yes reluctantly. I was just telling me wife.. we saw a Superbowl ad on TV. I just sighed, and said I'm def not even hyped for the Superbowl it's so weird. I know what's gonna happen. I asked her how many times she'd watch a TV show series knowing the outcome..

[oldunclemark]

no, just no interest in either side..and its a mediocre matchup

[chad72]

Yes, only because my wife bought football themed snack plates plus napkins, and she doesn't even care about football.  

 

Ah, the Catch 22...get my wife into football...or watch another agonizing Patriots SB win...

[aaron11]

oh im watching

 

a patriots loss would be the best thing that happened in football this year.

 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yeah I always watch but really don't care who wins. At this point rooting against the Patriots has even got boring . If the Pats win it wont even bother me, it didn't bother me last year to be honest as much as I thought it would. After the Pats beat Seattle in SB 49 I quit letting the Pats get to me. I miss Peyton because at least his teams were able to beat the Pats and we would have a different AFC team in it now and then. Big Ben and the others just don't cut the mustard at this point in the AFC.

[PrincetonTiger]

I will find something

[southwest1]

Of course I'll be watching the Superb Owl. Who wouldn't it? 

[coltsleafs]

Not this year first one I don't host a party for since last Pats/Eagles match. Can't stomach watching the Pats win another.

[Yoshinator]

Not going to watch, but I do have a vested interest in the Super Bowl. Have about 15 autographed rookie, low numbered Brandin Cooks cards that I got in 2014 in various expensive football packs ($10 or more a pack). I also have a Zach Ertz Auto Rookie, #/15 graded 9.5 out of 10 auto that I traded for in 2013 that I've been holding onto. Hoping both of them have huge games and increase their value heavily in the biggest game of both their lives. Have a chance to make some money this way. I will be sleeping during the SB though because I'm superstitious that if I watch, the Pats will win and my players will do horrible (whenever I sleep on fantasy football championship week 16 in money leagues, I always win. If I stay up all day, I get destroyed).

[Narcosys]

Not sure how much ill watch considering it airs at 1130 here.

Same, I will be watching mostly because I had already booked the Monday off to watch it before I knew who would be playing.

[Mel Kiper's Hair]

I'm a football fan...I'm watching the game!

[teganslaw]

I'll be watching. I want to see how MCDaniels does with the Patriots offense, and have to get my football fix. Besides, I have players on a Fanduel lineup, so I hope they do well.

For the sake of following the rules, I'm not gonna debate this further.  

You're right.  I'm going to go ahead and pull it down to avoid derailing topic. In my defense though, I didn't open the can of worms, lol.

[Coltsfan1953]

I'll have chili and wings on Sunday so i have to have something to watch while I eat. I have to root for the Eagles because i dislike NE and Vinny Curry(Marshall grad) is on the Philly team. 

[Nadine]

I don't want to but my daughter has just bought a huge fancy TV and wants to have a super bowl party.

 

So, do i hate the patriots more than I love my daughter? No, but I'm still trying to think of excuses that I could give that won't hurt her feelings.

 

I'll probably be in the vicinity of the game

Thanks,

 

There isn't a way to discuss this that is going to sway anyone.  

[Nadine]

I've removed the politics and the xfl discussion from this thread.

If you want to talk about the XFL, to the extent that that topic is discussed without politics, this is where you should post http://forums.colts.com/forum/23-college-football-and-all-other-sports/

[TheMarine]

No, not going to watch.

 

Ive literally watched every single Sunday, Thursday, and Monday night games I could this year. I watched every playoff game the last 4 years.

 

Except any game with the ***** up in the eastern area of the US. **** watching any game involving them. I will gladly watch the 2011 colts entire season, or the 2017 browns entire season, or the winless Lions season over any game involving those ****** **** ***** ***** wipes playing the Eagles this weekend

[throwing BBZ]

I Love good football, so i have to watch the Good Teams to get a Quality FB fix.
 

7 years of mostly crappy Colts FB has hopefully come to an end.

[GoPats]

 

Even in years where the Patriots didn't go, I can't imagine not watching the Super Bowl. I don't remember a single year of my life where I didn't.

Lol i literately felt the same way (i can't imagine not watching the super bowl) until this year. 

 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Hey I thought the teams alternated home/away jerseys for the Super Bowl. Pats are in white again?

[shakedownstreet]

I'll tuning in for the latest HILARIOUS Bud Light commercials

It's up to whoever is declared the home team. Like the Dolphins & Cowboys almost always choose to wear white at home

[dodsworth]

Judging by this poll, roughly 1/3 of colts fans are not going to tune

into this SB. I'm sure our blood runs a little colder than most fan bases

towards Brady and the Pats, but this is saying something about fans

getting tired of Patriot SB reruns of something we see time and again.

 

I would believe fan bases of the AFC East, Pitt and maybe a few others 

are feeling the same way. I would bet the ratings will be down this year.

[Reality Check]

As a patriots fan, I will be watching the game...but with MUCH less interest/commitment than I have watched past SB's.

 

The fact is that I am very upset with the politicization of the NFL, the concussion issue, inconsistent officiating ACROSS THE LEAGUE, and a number of other issues...

 

I have been a hard-core consumer & supporter of the NFL since 1975, but the way things have unfolded in recent years, I am taking the same path which led me to quit watching NASCAR. Simply put, it is not the same game it once was.

 

Mark Cuban put it best when he said "Pigs get fat...hogs get slaughtered"....

[King Colt]

Recently, one of the sports guys on TV said he is interested to see how many Pats players will follow their OC when he goes to Indy to take the HC job. I never gave that any thought but if the guy (I don't know which on it was) knows what he is talking about I will listen closely for such comments during the SB.

It's as if the NFL are biased towards certain teams and having the refs

control the games instead of letting it play itself out. When calls go under

the hood and all of America sees the play and the refs call it different

then something is up.

 

To be fair it's just as bad in college basketball. Just watch a Big Ten ball

game and watch the majority of calls go to the home team.

ill watch hoping the Eagles pull off a miracle, but will probably turn it off if the Pats take over. NE superbowls have a history of being exciting games.

[IcEWoLF]

I don't know whats with some people every year posting "Will you watch the sb?" Is this a ritual or something?

I watched the SB every year when I started following football.

You know what else I do? I watch the NBA finals even if my team is not playing in it.

You know what else? I watch the World Series, I may not watch every single game, but I watch it.

 

Guess what? I will watch the World cup even if Italy is not going to be in it...yes my roots are Italian.

And don't forget winter Olympic figure skating, or that might just be me who gets pumped over that........

But for real, the Olympics ARE cool.

 

I watch plenty of postseason games too like you mentioned or at least have them around in the background if home. Or check the score later. When it comes to the SB or the NBA finals or world series it is something you want to see at least some of.

I am not even a big hockey fan but I try to catch some of the hockey postseason. 

 

I am going to continue to be mega busy (but in a good way) until July or August but I still am a big "score watcher" on my phone. It's addictive.

 

Of  course some matchups in big games are more fun then others. Pats/Eagles is OK, but not the most exciting Super Bowl to me. Brady vs. Brees would have been more fun but Philly did get homefield and earned the right to be here too. They had a terrific season and are still a very good team so I don't think at all they are going to "lie down" in this game right now. I favor the Patriots but I won't be shocked if the Eagles can make it a good game.

[Cynjin]

I will not be watching for several reasons, one of which cannot be mentioned.  I will more than likely check to see who is wining the game from time to time, but I will definitely not be watching.

2012 11-5

2013 11-5

2014 11-5 and made the AFC Title Game

 

-You consider that crappy? You are a funny guy.

[IinD]

Not a chance.

 

I'd rather do laundry then watch them drool over Tommy and Bill for 5+ hours.

 

When I was a kid years ago it was an automatic I'd watch. Not anymore, especially another NE super bowl.
