I’m not a huge football fan. I used to watch back in the day when my father was alive and huge Arkansas Razorbacks fan. The last time I followed pro ball was when Mike Ditka coached the Bears, and The Refrigerator and McMahon were the heroes of that game. Was that really forty years ago? I never so enjoyed a game, but that was it for me. Not sure why.
My family loves going to the high school and local college games. They love knowing the players and meeting up with friends to watch. The only time we gather for a pro ball game these days is for the Super Bowl. I’m embarrassed to say I’m there for the commercials. The girls love the half-time show, but we stay for the end—if the game is a nail-biter. We pick our sides and love ribbing each other when our favorite team makes a great play and scores.
However, if the power went out tomorrow night, we’d be okay. We’re not that invested. It’s just another chance to sit together and celebrate as a family and maybe eat some finger food (I’ll have to talk someone into hitting the grocery store for some goodies!).

Watch for the commercials. Unless the game is close, do not pay attention.

I’m like you, I watched football with my dad. I went to football games with my dad. I understand football because of my dad. I’m a Detroit Lions fan because my dad was. My dad passed five years ago, this March and I think of him often when I’m watching football. The Lions didn’t make it into the Super Bowl so I will have it on his background noise while I read unless of course the game gets exciting score wise then I might get into it. But I will not be watching the halftime show. I’m a Drake fan.

Never was a big football fan. I watched the very first Super Bowl with my dad who was a big sports fan.

I am watching the game. I am for KC. My cousin, Joe, was a QB with the 49ers, so loyalty moved from SF to KC where he played his last season before retiring. Otherwise, I root for the Steelers. I live south of Pittsburgh and worked in Pgh since 1988 until I was laid off.
I want to add, my dad was a Notre Dame fan, but hated the Steelers. He would root for girl scouts if they played Pgh. He hated the broadcasters always praised Bradshaw, but forgot to support the other 10 players.
I am home alone, not cooking anything special and I am in on a former work ‘pool’, so the numbers are important, too.
Go KC!!!

KC Chiefs for win- not going out and probably won’t watch – I like football – used to love watching with my dad back in the day. Will glacé at it once and while if on but fine with seeing or reading the highlights. Georgia Bulldogs are on every time the play at our house but that’s all hubby and one son. I much prefer reading my books than watching anything on tv.
