Thanks for that tip, I'll put a Costco run on my schedule. I had to look up the actual date, because I did not see it mentioned in this thread. For anyone who might be as ignorant as as I was, it's February 9 this year (2025).

I haven't watched an NFL game since they were ok with those fucking thugs kneeling for our National Anthem because the multi-millionaire crybabies had it so rough. Fuck them and the super bowl.

I used to plan my Sundays around the NFL schedule. Since they got so very woke I haven't watched a single game. This is going on 10 years now. Same thing with the NBA. Fuck'em.

Well, the Cowboys this aren't helping with the demand of the game this year anyway. {sigh}

Fine with me, I likely would have avoided it anyway. I used to be a super fan of one team, which has done quite well in Super Bowls over the years, but I never had, or went to a party, when they were in a Super Bowl. SB parties suck out loud anyway, and all the other factors Para listed have taken their toll on my interest.
If I see it, fine.
If I miss it, that’s fine too.

Yeah, the last time I somewhat watched the SB was at a party, my son was in grade school (he's 26 yo now), and it was when Eli Manning and the Giants beat Tom Brady and the Patriots, a big deal at the time. Maybe 15 years ago or so. And around the same time, I stopped watching regular season games, around the same time I stopped watching the NBA as well.

The last one that I recall tuning into was perhaps when The Black-Eyed Peas (Fergie, you know...) choked on the half-time show. Maybe caught a few minutes here and there over the years since, but that was the last one I wanted to watch. 2011, the internet says.

I've called it the "Stupid Bowl" for at least 20 years.
The NFL offers nothing that is interesting to me.

I usually don't comment in sports threads because I don't give a rip. So I don't mind not commenting here because I still don't give a rip.

Ever mindful of this thread, I'll send the Browns to the Super Bowl.

I had to get help bringing them to the super bowl last year.

After a good laxative, we got some touchdowns!

Doing a COSTCO run during the Super Bowl is a great idea! I used to do drives during it, if possible - only days with comparable traffic was Christmas Day, and that may have been busier.

Now that's a good idea

Don't ever watch, liked it because lift lines were much shorter that day. Grocery store is less crowded too. Chips sold out, but that does not bother me.
