Hi guys.
This is like a little descution/serve.
Are you watching the superbull or not?
The only way I'm watching this year is if I go to a party.
My teems not in, the halftime show preformer is a rapper and the adds are not very descriptive for totaly blind people.
I cant whate for CFL to begin!
So, is any one watching the big game?
And what will you eat if anything?

I will watch the game or most of it.  Not really an NFL fan or football much but I do appreciate the magnitude of this once a year event.  I don't really care who wins and like many watching tomorrow, the game itself is secondary.  I will be watching for good camerawork, sound and commentary.  One thing that I find annoying about the NFL is that it seems like half of the plays have a flag on the play.  Really slows down the game.

Another thing is, for the last 3 years or so, the halftime was mostly rap or r&b music.
I like the r&b music, but if this is about race, they should get some latin artists like enrike iglasias and mark anthony. there's more, as the americans and some canadians call them racial groups besides black in the states.
Spanish speakers are outnumbering african and afro-caribbian immigrants south of the border.

I never watch the Super Bowl for any reason, having begun to hate the sport for its constant and endless runovers during the regular season, disrupting program start times. It drives me crazy. 

That said, I'm always fascinated to see what the other networks put on opposite it. How do you counter-program the biggest TV show of the year? I think most have simply conceded there's not much point. Here's what the rest of the choices will be on TV Sunday night. 

NBC: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the network TV premiere.

CBS: Reruns of Tracker and Watson

ABC: Three hours of Celebrity Jeopardy reruns

The CW: Two episodes of Penn & Teller Fool Us

On the Canadian side, the locals here are going with this lineup:

CBC: The Great British Baking Show, Travel Man, SkyMed and The National

Global: Men In Black: International, described as a broadcast TV premiere.

City TV: A Simpsons rerun, three episodes of Family Feud followed by Hudson & Rex.

NO


After all is said and done, more is usually said than done.

I must admit I am not in the mood for overhyped Americana.

I run a Super Bowl  prop bet pool at my local pub with such questions as National Anthem: Over/Under 2 minutes. Coin Toss H or T [Tails lead 30-27] Gatorade Dump Colour. I will be watching at home keeping track of all the stats. Last year the winner collected $250. Not bad for a $10 investment.

The one thing you won't see on any Super Bowl is a secret that takes place in the broadcast booth. They're called "boards" and those calling the game would be lost without them. 

A sneak peek behind the scenes.

For Super Bowl broadcasters, game ‘boards’ are an indispensable booth secret

I haven’t watched it in years but my son likes to catch the halftime shows, and I usually will watch a bit of that if the artist is any good, not this year though!

Me to.

The grey cup halftimes and pregames are much better.
And, they are more descriptive for those who are blind like me.

Simple answer for me is no. I fall into the camp of people who believe the  outcome of KC's last two games were determined by calls from upstairs to the ref's. I'm not watching NFL again until Swift dumps Kelce and writes a song about it.

Yes, I will be watching. My food selections are simple. Potato chips for a snack. The main course is a fresh pizza made on my Piezano pizza oven. Left Field IPAs to wash it down.

That was a good read. I was particularly impressed to read that Al Michaels has had the same spotter alongside him in the booth for over 45 years. I admire that kind of loyalty.

You know what goes great with potato chips in my opinion?
Bean dip from metro and vodka.
To me, vodka flavered drinks are better than beer.

I love the commentary on the westwood 1 radio network.
Last year, I was listening on TSN 1050.
I think I have some normal airchecks on my youtube channel.
I also recorded it backwords.
If you listen backwords, Its like your listening in albanian or gailic.

Sent to me by a friend. I know you can't see and perhaps your devices can't translate it. It reads:

"The best part of the Super Bowl are the commercials and the food. 

I really don't care who makes the most baskets."

Funny graphic.
That's very true.
Nothing good about the halftime, so, lets drink and get fat so we can suffer through some rapper's yapping!

I won't be watching but I am curious about what sort of stunt Trump will stage.
He's the first sitting pres to attend the superbowl.
And you know Trump cannot attend an event that takes away attention from himself.

probably another rapper parady.
I remember hearing on the radio about him doing a parady of a drake song.
He sounded as anoying as drake, just add in that fake diolect and gangster accent.

Not for me. Was pleasantly surprised to see Tubi work with my paid VPN provider. In fact that feed was a few seconds ahead of DAZN.
