One of the few games I actually pay close attention and even watch the crazy commercials, the Superbowl adverts are famous for being over the top crazy and really hilarious 8)
I like both teams for different reasons and so I am torn as to who to favor, so I'll just make some good snacks and enjoy the game and see what happens

People in my neighborhood are super psyched about the game. For days now I've been trying to keep up with the lingo and not back the wrong team. I live close to Seattle so I'm assuming I'm supposed to want them to win. Minors aren't allowed in sports bars in my state though so we won't be watching the event when it happens.

I have a special hatred for the pats. My friend and broadcast engineer Steve was the one who discovered the first cheating scandal. I lost him to pancreatic cancer a few years ago. I still miss him dearly. I can't believe they're (allegedly) cheating again.
Oh well.
The kids love football and we're going to have a little party at home.
That reminds me I need some chips, wings and other unhealthy food.
I hope the Seahawks win.

Ah, the Superb Owl. Can't wait to watch Russell Wilson destroy the Pats defense. That and the commercials. That is all.
The Seahawks QB is a fellow Wisconsin Badger and I knew when he played in college he was going to be something pretty good in the NFL. In fact, Wisconsin is the school with the most alums in the Superb Owl this year.

Don't know who will win, but I've always hated the Cheatriots. They've cheated before to get to the Big Game (this is documented) and I hope the Seahawks deflate them bigtime.
I saw this with my hometown team (Baltimore Ravens) a couple years ago: When you pull out a game in the last minute after trailing badly, the way the Seahawks did against the Packers, you believe you can do anything.
If I were the Cheatriots, I'd be scared...

What is this super ball people talk about? It's a big party, right? I've been invited to them before, but every time I went, there was no ball to be had, just a bunch of people watching TV. If I go to another one, I should pick up a nice gown. I have a really pretty tiara to go with it. But alas, it will probably be more people watching TV. TV is such a party killer.

Im from the UK but I LOVE US sports. I love watching greatness, and either way that's what we are going to witness. I feel like Brady And the Pats deserve more rings than they have got. I mean that is the definition of a dynasty. But then if the Seahwaks win that is back to back..with a young QB, who might have balled is eyes out like a sissy after beating the packers but who I think is an awesome leader of a team..(sorry I'm a guy who wants to be a girl but I can't help but use the word) ... and even if Sherman is the biggest douche on the planet..albeit extremely talented. Either way for the neutrals it's a great one! Appreciate the post! When I really think about it...GO PATS!!

Not so surprising, this is this is the answer in our home too. Maybe its a holdover from childhood discrimination but even as an adult it amazes me that watching grown men deliberately run into each other is so popular as it seems barbaric to me. The celebrity fuss, macho chest bumps and $$$ further my feeling that there are better venues for all of the attention we have to lavish?

Sounds great! I think we're going to make really good, from-scratch, macs and cheese -- the kind with a bit of mustard in the sauce, and maybe some white wine. (And probably have some more of that pork...
)We're big football fans. I'm sorta rooting for the Hawks, but mostly, I just want to see a good game: competitive, not a lot of unforced errors and penalties, and halfway decent officiating. My only beef is that neither team really has an elite wide receiver -- I love watching those guys make unbelievable plays. But there's Gronk, of course, who's fun to watch, not least because he enjoys himself so much.

Interesting -- guess I'll cross that off my list of things to try. It's pretty hard to go wrong with rib eye, though, no matter what you do with it. Have you tried bourbon? I don't usually marinate rib eye, but I like doing flank steak in sherry and soy sauce, with some ginger and garlic...
I think I'm just gonna root for Sherman and Revis.

I prefer hockey but if there's an excuse to celebrate over something I'll celebrate it. I'm going with the Seahawks. The Pats have a nice legacy but I don't like how Belichick and Brady handled themselves during the whole "Deflate Gate" thing plus it would be fun to watch the Seahawks win it twice in a row.
