No, I don't watch it, not any of it. Don't even know when it is.

no

The entertainment value of the commercials has really dropped over the last five years or so, IMO. I don't find them worth watching.

Won’t be watching.

Throweggball? We don't need no stinking throweggball. Superbowl Greatest Commercials on CBS right now (in EST zone)

GF is a San Francisco fan, so she'll be watching the game. I'll be watching a couple of Randolph Scott Westerns.

Nope. I dont watch or support pro sports.

No.

Ads have gotten worse. I think companies are trying too hard to be memorable instead of being good.

I'll enjoy the game. I'll enjoy the time with friends even more.

Yeah, the commercials are pretty funny...
And I used to like Pro Football.

After that asshole kaperwhatever pulled his bullshit, and the National Felon League did little to nothing to curb that behavior, I ignore Pro Football. Want NOTHING to do with it.

I was off on Sunday, but after a brief conversation with my Lt, I'm heading into work and gonna toss some meat and bird on the grille for my people. If you want me, I'll be the one over the fire with some loud rock and roll on in the background (since I'm off, there may be a beer or two involved).

I am in the business of producing TV commercials and yes, I have had some of my work air during the game in the past...That said, I think like a lot of things, the hype of the commercials has gotten too overblown, not to mention the spots are released in advance and can be seen online prior to the game.

As for the game...this year, i do not have a dog in the fight and really dont care who wins therefore I think I will go hiking!

Side note - I grew up in Boston and still consider it "home"...Hyundai's ad centered around the Boston accent is cute and funny but now I get to look forward to every douchebag fuckboy trying to imitate a Boston accent for the next few months...kill me now!

This SuperBowl propaganda, er...ad will be an ideal time to take a dump:

Bloomberg’s Super Bowl ad focuses on the ‘national crisis’ of gun violence, not Trump

Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg, who has flooded the airways with ads attacking President Trump, is trying a different approach with a spot during the Super Bowl: His newest ad will focus on a mother whose son was shot and killed.

Bloomberg, who founded the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety, is predominantly relying on ads to propel his presidential candidacy. On Sunday — a day before the Iowa caucuses, where Bloomberg is not on the ballot — he will reach his biggest audience yet. More than 100 million people watched last year’s Super Bowl, according to Nielsen ratings.

Long the domain of high-priced and highly produced commercials hyping cars and beer, this year’s game in Miami will have a dose of politics, with spots from Bloomberg and President Trump’s reelection campaign. Fox Sports executives have said the network is selling 30-second ads during the contest between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs for more than $5 million each.

Bloomberg’s new ad does not mention the president. It features a Texas woman, Calandrian Simpson Kemp, talking about how her son, George H. Kemp Jr., started playing football at age 4, with photos of him holding football gear as a baby and child.

On a Friday morning in September 2013, she learned that her son had been shot overnight.

Her son, a 20-year-old football player who had finished his freshman year at Navarro College, was killed during an altercation in Richmond, Tex.

Kemp calls gun violence a “national crisis.” She starts talking about Bloomberg halfway through the ad, which says that the candidate “started a national gun safety movement.” Kemp does not specifically mention the National Rifle Association, which has long spent money on anti-Bloomberg ads, but she says that the gun lobby is afraid of Bloomberg.

Kemp said she believes the gun control movement has found its candidate in Bloomberg, who, she said, “heard mothers crying. So he started fighting.”

Howard Wolfson, a senior Bloomberg aide, said trying to combat gun violence is a major reason the former New York mayor decided to run for president.

“This is a subject that has animated him,” Wolfson said. “And he did help build this movement of activists all around the country that he stands in solidarity with.”

The advertisement is a significant departure from the spots Bloomberg has run since announcing his candidacy on Nov. 24. Most have focused on slamming Trump on issues including impeachment and health care. Trump has responded to some of them, calling the ads “lies” that are unfair to his White House record.

Wolfson said the campaign took a different approach this time, both to highlight Bloomberg’s record on gun control and because Super Bowl ads typically don’t focus on politics.

“My view is that people watching the Super Bowl aren’t interested in attack ads,” he said.

Bloomberg’s campaign filmed videos with people from 12 states whose loved ones were killed in gun violence. They will be posted on the candidate’s website Friday.

In an interview Wednesday, Kemp said she joined Moms Demand Action, which is part of Everytown, in 2014. She met Bloomberg through the group, showing him George’s photo and speaking with him about her son.

Initially a supporter of former congressman Beto O’Rourke (D-Tex.) in the presidential race because of his gun control plans, Kemp threw her support behind Bloomberg after O’Rourke dropped out of the race.

Kemp said she nearly fell out of bed when Bloomberg’s presidential campaign asked her to appear in a video that would become a Super Bowl ad. Her son always wanted to play in the Super Bowl, and now she hopes others see their loved ones in him.

“So many boys will say . . . that was my brother, too, that happened to my uncle, too,” she said. “They feel like they can identify themselves and feel like they are part of something in this country and not just a negative statistic.”

She talks to her son often, and she has something to say to him on Super Bowl Sunday.

“I’m going to tell George that he made it,” she said. “To know that this was his passion since age four, and to now be able to have the world see my son, to see George Kemp Jr., in the Super Bowl. He made it in a different way and his mama sure is proud of him.”

The "altercation" was a planned late night fist fight with another man who "Dissed" him and several men came along, one with a handgun.

I guess Mommy forgot to tell her son to ignore idle threats.

A preview for those planning to watch.

I won’t be watching. I will probably take my kids to the rock climbing gym. BTW, Sundays during football season is the best time to go to Home Depot. The store is practically empty.

Bulldog posted my exact sentiments. The NFL could go to hell for all I care.

My sentiments exactly. Go to hell and stay there. Never ever ever again will I ever watch Football.

Not watching. It ain’t hockey...

Working OT instead for 12 hours, woohoo. And ya, it ain't hockey

Ah the toonies. I’m friends with a Bostonian. The accent, the lingo, he’s a great guy to listen to. The Boston teams might as well be a religion. A far cry from our fair weather friends here. Sadly I won’t see Hyundai’s ad. .

I have no interest in either...
