I'm not feeling it with the superbowl this year.

I probably won't go to any SB parties. I don't even know if I'm going to bother watching the game. It just seems so draining now. And, no it's not because the NFL players refuse to "shut up and play football" as fornicate face wants. It's because said fornicate face and his enablers in the GOP have sucked all the joy out of life.

Knowing that many players are hurting their brains for our entertainment. I don't watch boxing or MMA sports either, for the same reason.

I won't watch the game, either. I don't care for either of these teams. More importantly, the violence of the game has escalated to the point where I can't bear to watch these men hurt one another.

Instead, we have family visiting and we're planning to go old-school and play Scrabble. We're making lots of good food and plan to drink some good wine.

Don't let Trump take away your day to day joys! If he's a Dementor, use your Patronus to keep him at bay.

I used to be a huge fan, but now lose interest as each year passes. The game itself sucks, the league is horribly mismanaged, and the constant desire to market exclusively to the conservative white guy demographic is close to the last straw.

And I could head down to their place for the weekend to do stuff with them, bother their feline kiddos, and watch the big game.

I would rather have the Packers or Cowboys playing than the Patriots. That's how much I dislike the Patriots.

It’s too close an experience to watching the Rs ride roughshod over the Constitution because they can.
