6. Don't care, and won't watch, either.
Since massive money and even bigger egos took over professional sports a few years ago, I find myself caring less and less with each passing year.

12. Non sequitur. Your sex has nothing to do with your fondnesss or lack thereof for sports.
Hell, my pink-wearing, shoe collecting girly girl of a baby sister plays football.

16. The Pirates are so desperate for folks to buy tix, they actually called me!


My son and I went to many games last year. It was a pretty good year until Jason Bay was traded away.... :cry:

18. Move to Detroit
If you do, you'll never have to worry about whether your team loses in the Super Bowl. It is liberating.

27. we have won all but one we have played in, so I guess there is some pressure
Edited on Sat Jan-31-09 06:04 PM by tigereye

the whole town is basically shutting down for the Super Bowl, and schools in the city aren't starting until 10am the next day! Some businesses will be closed the day after, too! We have to decide which of 2 parties to go to tomorrow....

19. I'm rooting for the Steelers this time around.
:) I usually don't care much about football, but Coach Tomlin was my commencement speaker, so...

(On the other hand, if they don't win...well, my brother's ex-girlfriend and her family are huge Steelers fans, so I guess I'd be OK with that outcome too.) ;)

23. I care about all the innocent people who suffer because of this event.
I.E., people who work at pizza & wing places.

24. I have to work tomorrow night... i switched with someone who wanted to watch the game
I was supposed to work tomorrow morning, which would have had me home by 4pm, but one of my co-workers was absolutely desperate to switch with me so that she and her boyfriend and others could watch the game together.

I went ahead and swapped... i have a ton of homework and reading to do over the weekend, so i figure the store will be mostly dead, except for people walking in from the bar next door because they're out of cigarettes.

I'm pulling for the Steelers, but only because they're the closest thing that we have to an NFL 'home team' here in Morgantown. When college ball is still in season, 'Eers fans have a one-track mind, and the Steelers are an afterthought at best.

29. NO.
I'm in the Pittsburgh media market... and I am so sick of seeing crazy fans all over TV and the newspaper.

Sorry, I just don't get it. I just can't wait for it to be over.
