I will probably watch but don’t care for either team at all

Be careful, I have a theory that once an NFL fan intentionally misses one Super Bowl they are never as fully 'into' the NFL as they once were. The veneer is gone, and all of the hype surrounding the game becomes annoying background noise in ones life. Its like when you're a kid and you find out Santa isn't real. Its never the same. I'll publish research on this one day. The Huddle nerds can peer review

Were you attempting to paint this as a negative because you're about to convince me not to watch the SB. LOL!

Is breaking this addiction really that easy?

The Lions completely shut down CMC for 3 quarters, didn’t matter. Aiyuk and Deebo kept things moving.

CMC had 100 scrimmage yards at the end of 3 quarters. Ended the game with 90 rushing and 42 receiving, 2 TDs.

I'm serious. Not trying to get too deep/political but the SB is a marketplace for corporations and pop stars to sell you poo, masquerading as a'must see' cultural event that 'brings us all together'. They also play on FOMO to make you feel like a loser if you don't go to that SB party.  The game usually actually sucks (Conference championships are historically more competitive), and the actual play time is around 25 minutes, out of the 5 hours that the game is 'on'. Go fishing in two weeks and once you realize you didn't miss out on anything.  

There are two types of people that don't care about any given Super Bowl. People that have never watched or cared about the Super Bowl, and people that used to care and intentionally missed one.  If you've always watched and have never even considered missing the game you will always continue to watch and never consider missing the game. Break the habit once and you'll be free. You'll see it for what it is.

Oh, I see it for what it is. It's an absolute commercial spectacle. I'm a football junkie. I watch for the game. Commercials are beer breaks and halftime is dinner time. I'm just watching the game not the spectacle.

What is fascinating to me is that the majority of the audience is NOT watching the game lol. They are watching for the commercials and halftime. 99% of the public despises ads and commercials 99% of the time. Everybody 'hates to be sold something' but the Super Bowl is the exception for some reason. I'd really like to understand this one day.

They will all talk about Lamar and Dan Campbell tomorrow, but Zay Flowers and Josh Reynolds lost those two games.

Always preferred the Championships to the Superbowl.  I haven't watched a Superbowl(besides 2003 and 2015) in a long time.

I guess I want Kelce and Taylor swift to be sad for a day so go 9ers or something

I don't hate the Chiefs just tired of them. I guess I'm a Chiefs fan for this one.

Not to mention the entire generation of young girls and other women who didn’t care about football but now do because of her. 
 

I have nieces that are super into football now because of her. More people watching the games isn’t a bad thing imo.
