This might be the first SB that I do not watch  

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?

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.

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.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
