I didn’t watch the Super Bowl this year because the NFL is a disappointment to me. They continue to harbor thugs and turn a blind eye to mindless activists that denigrate this country while the field is littered with minority millionaires.
Frankly, the only thing I would miss are the commercials. As a concept guy (in real life) I would appreciate the cleverness of the ads, and it was a huge part of the get-togethers in my circle. As much as we looked forward to the game, it was understood that no one would be heading to the bathroom during the breaks – we had to rate them.
i tuned out as well, the nfl no longer represents the raw football and americana it once did
it has become so many things other than football, the entire prima donna thing is tedious and intolerable
the thrill is gone
i must say that i misjudged lady gaga, as i heard that she kept it politics-free and about entertainment, no bad comments heard
So true. I still say ‘wait until they’re playing to use the restroom’, but it doesn’t ring true anymore.
SOME OF MY LESSONS LEARNED FROM 2016, A YEAR THAT I FOUND SICKENING EXCEPT FOR THE EL TRUMPO VICTORY:
1. TUNE OUT OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS, LISTEN TO MORE MUSIC.
2. IT IS WHAT IT IS, YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL A VERY SMALL SUBSET OF THOSE THINGS THAT IRRITATE YOU.
3. KEEP THE PASSION, LET GO OF THE ANGER AND REGRETS, REDUCE USAGE OF THE WORD “HATE” AS YOU ONLY HARM YOURSELF WITH THE NEGATIVITY.
OH, AND I CARRY A PHOTO OF LENA DUNHAM IN MY WALLET IN CASE I NEED TO STAVE OFF IMPROMPTU ERECTION ISSUES!!! I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY HER MATE’S NAME IS JACK ANTONOFF!!!
I just don’t understand how people get such a kick out of friggin’ commercials.
the fat lady McCarthy was pretty funny in her commercials. but I saw them on regular t.v. and not the
stupid bowl…. 🙂
I’m always stuck makin’ the sammiches and miss the ads
The “Record” and Fast Forward” buttons on my DVR are as important as the on and off buttons.
I haven’t seen many commercials since this was added to my remote.
I quit watching basketball when it became a full contact sport.
I quit watching football when being an openly gay player was a big deal.
I quit watching baseball when it became the literal Murders Row.
I quit watching cycling when it became Cheaters Are Us.
I quit watching commercials when DVR was invented.
I quit fast fwd through commercials when Hopper was invented.
Do love me some gun stories though.
Porn too.
“What, me worry?”- Alfred E. Neuman
I record most “live” TV to view later so I can fast forward through the commercials at 3X speed.
It takes me 15 minutes to view the average HANNITY for instance.
No Clydesdales, Dalmatians, donkeys, pigs or monkeys.
WTF, did PETA get to the advertisers? Animal ads are funny, heartwarming and they work.
The commercials used to be good.
I don’t watch football anymore.
I intend to watch Cricket and Rugby. I Don’t know what the hell is going on, but there aren’t any commercials about how great it is to be gay.
Although the Falcons were wearing iotw colors,
this site is full of Patriots…
I don’t think anyone boycotted a product because they didn’t run a gay* ad. But espousing a certain cause has.
* any leftist cause
I watched the thingy back in 1968 but haven’t watched it since. I found out something about me that may or may not be weird.
I wouldn’t watch golf on tv without a gun to my head. I have the golf channel.
But. I was watching a DVD at a friends house of classic golf. I was interested because it was in black and white and from the 50 or 60’s.
I really thought the DVD was great. I have never ever played a square or round of golf.
But when I was younger I liked going to the driving range.
I also enjoy old football games.
Is that weird or what?
I stopped watching pro sports because it made thugs rich.
I stopped watching college sports because it was a fast track to pro sports.
I stopped participating in high school sports because even that became politicized.
I now travel with my wife, garden, hunt and fish with my brothers, and work on my classic mustang.
I am much happier.
Watched a movie with the wife instead, who was not feeling well. In fact only saw 10 minutes of NFL all season. Tired of their bullshit.
I go to the range whenever I have free time. The range is on my property.
I can’t sit still very long I have to be moving. So all tv is out.
I really enjoy running the 3-gun range I set up years ago.
And precision rifle I have a 1 mile range for bench rest 6mm and my
.338 Lapua Magnum and I still like to shoot 30.06.
A queer thing is happening in this age of enlightenment or darkness depending on who you are. Everything must be a freaking statement! Such sad people with no place to fit in trying so hard to force their sickness on the NORMAL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!
Have to agree the thrill is gone. Seems 5th Ave shit itself this year
@Jethro. A mustang guy. Knew there was something about you i liked.
The only memorable commercial this year was the Hyundai one after the game was over. They used to be creative, funny or memorable. Not just left wing BS.
It seems that by having ‘Don Draper’ from Mad Men appearing in the ad or doing the voice over makes the ad hip and cool. He’s their go to guy now for everything.
The single Mexican mom and child in the lumber commercial were left single in Mexico by their husband and father who came to America 4 years earlier to “find work and come get them”. Instead he found a new woman and had a few babies with her and watches soft core porn on telemundo while drinking Budweiser.
@CharlieWalksOnWater: “@Jethro. A mustang guy. Knew there was something about you i liked.”
All this time I thought Jethro was a GUY!??
the Patriots lost. Atlanta had more rushing yards. The Russians hacked the First down marker according to cnn’s cia leaked report. We need to review the tape for uncalled penalties.

Don’t watch tv, just sit and stare at a wall. The content is better and it won’t strain your eyes.
I’m pissed they stopped a Lady gaGa concert and
played football, that’s bullscrit.
The political commercials, during a nfl game? YGBSM.
Morons are shooting themselves in the face. Phockem.
Sports?!! Ain’t nobody got time for that… there’s guitars, mandolins and fiddles to be played.
