The basketball coach? Which Mike Brown?

Mike Brown owns the Cincinnati Bengals.

I take the results of the NFL as serious as the players. Every game not played increases your value per minute of field time.

The prohibiting of this topic upset a few people. The forum lost some members over it. Most of them left quietly, but we had a couple of pretty good flame-outs.

I kinda felt like Sam Elliott in Tombstone:

"Nobody's sayin' you can't own a gun! Nobody's even sayin' you can't carry a gun! All we're sayin' is you can't carry a gun in town!"

Nobody's sayin' you can't like the Super Bowl! Nobody's even sayin' you can't talk about the Super Bowl! All we're sayin' is you can't talk about the Super Bowl in the forum!

Seems like a strange hill to die on in a gun forum. I admit I like watching sportsing. I don’t buy stuff I just watch. Which I suppose is a form of supporting their nonsense. If I start not watching everybody who annoys me though I will find myself staring quietly off into space though.

Me and the wife are/were huge Stephen King fans. I picked up his last book and it was so politically charged I couldn’t get through the first hundred pages. I hold my nose and still watch football. Even though I think gambling has ruined it. There definitely is cheating going on.

Ok no more football talk from me.

I still enjoy football... but I agree with you.
I can't stand all of the gambling ads. And I do believe that betting on sports, at least to this degree, does ruin sports.

When the employers (owners) failed to hold the employees (players) accountable to the rules (standing respectfully and quietly while facing the flag during the national anthem) established by the franchise (the NFL), I stopped watching and paying attention.

Even Hilton reacted and responded quickly when one of its franchises failed to support its rules and standards.

My wife and I still enjoy the game, but not the NFL nor do we watch college ball anymore. Even though our son is grown and an adult, we will attend our local high school games, and several times have gone to the AT&T Stadium (Cowboys) to watch the state championships.

Since Taylor Swift won't be there, does anyone care ?

I look forward to the Superb Owl pick this year.

Instead of betting on some stupid foozball game where criminals beat the shit out of each other for more money than we will ever make in our lifetimes, that money would be better spent on getting Monteen another bird to be loved.

So you’ll have time then to watch the six part Taylor Swift documentary on Disney+.

When I was a student at the University of Dallas (Irving) we owned the parking lot that the old Texas stadium was on. They used to let us in to non sold out games with our student ID. Those were the days...

I'll be watching curling in Milan on Sunday night.

Puppy Bowl FTW.

Doin' my part to snap our culture out of its death trance.

'tain't much at all, but there it is.

Kid that works for me asked if I would watch the game. I honestly don’t even know what day it’s scheduled. Not watching broadcast TV and limiting my online exposure to Sigforum and a select few other sites has increased my peace of mind to levels I didn’t think possible.

What used to be a sport is now entertainment. Sort of like the WWF on a big field.
I wouldnt call it a Superbowl. I would call it Superbowls. They halftime show takes too long and takes any momentum away from a team.
The commercials are actually the best part.

I will be miles out on a frozen sheet of ice hopefully catching walleyes and crappies and frying them up in the fish house on Sunday. Listen to music and have a few beers. The solitude is absolutely heavenly. I have a TV in the fish house but that's for watching the Grit and Outlaw channel at night or DVD's. Three days and two nights really gives your mind a refresher.
