Stupor bowl

My overall reaction = meh. The little I read pre-game had New England favored heavily to win - the betting point was by how much. Surprise! They didn't win! I'm ready to believe a lot of gamblers lost a ton of money. Too bad, so sad! I didn't have a bet on it - my gambling is pretty well limited to a scratch card or 2 a week.

Again I noticed all the people who paid big money to sit up in the nose bleed seats. Who may well have been wishing for a Sherpa to carry all their stuff up that high. I must be getting old - I just don't see the point of sitting where your best view is on your pad... or via spotting scope. And then pay $50 for a bratwurst, beverage and nachos per person? No thank you very hard!

The half time show featuring Bad Bunny was... bad. Largely because I don't speak Spanish and have no grounding in Puerto Rican culture. The kids and grandkids were here and also unimpressed by BB. But I'm sure his CDs will sell big now, so it was a win for him.

Long story short - sure glad I wasn't there or had any money involved in it. SW

The best seats by far for any game is on your couch in your home. I wonder if people will ever realize this. Since they keep making stadiums larger and larger and keep going up on the ticket cost I guess not.

As much of a Blue Bombers fan as I am, I have to admit to never being in person to a game. That is all due to financials. I always had better things to do with my money- bar hop and chase gals when I was a whole heckuva lot younger, and hunt and fish and maintain my vehicles when sanity seeped in.
I don't think I'd ever go either, unless I won mid-field seats.

The silver lining? Drone/Robot coverage of CFL games is excellent, and keeps getting better. I see things on the tube that I'd never see from anywhere in the stands.

Never been much of a 4 down-ball fan. Some of the on-field antics are still interesting, but I don't go out of my way for it, even though I consider myself a football person.
Made the jr. squad tryouts in H.S., but the coach had a brain and relieved me after getting smacked a few times by some D/L's that were even big for H.S. senior standards. I could run and catch the ball, and had almost good field sense. I think things would have been a lot different had I started at the pee-wee level, but as usual, financials intervened.

CD's and record stores are getting hard to find. Wally hasn't carried CD's for about 5 years now. The current consumer generation downloads everything these days. I have no idea what music downloads cost- local FM is still free, though.

wife is the football fan, I am not,

got home from the show w/ about 6 minutes left in the 2nd, and apparently made too much noise
wife had a headache, and was grumpy, so she went to bed,
she commented the game was horrible,

so I watched the first 2 minutes of the half time show, if that, and then watched a show on Amazon Prime

I was asleep by 10 or so

Not a big f'ball fan; only watch for the comm'ls. If game is close, I'll watch the last 1/4. Watched nothing this time.

When they disrespected the country by NOT playing the National Anthem they lost me, and evidently a large chunk of the viewing audience.

Warched the Olympics instead, figure skating and biathalon. Due to the US ski team injecting their own political coments about ICE, they made something supposed to be non-political not. I won't watch anything "downhill racing" or anything downhill. I recognize it's only a flea bite on a big dog, but it's MY bite. I like all skating, sledding and ice dancing.

I was telling someone earlier, I could watch Curling just about all day,
