Robert Cook, part of the famous foursome that never has missed attending a Super Bowl game in 44 years, was in the hospital Saturday and will be unable to attend Sunday's game, his wife told The Dallas Morning News.

Cook, 79, and his three buddies of the "Never Miss a Super Bowl Club" gained fame for their annual tradition when it was featured in a TV commercial leading up to Super Bowl XLV.

"He's depressed," said Cook's wife, Sarah, who declined the say why her husband is hospitalized. "This is sad for him. ... He doesn't want to be there,"referring to the Wisconsin hospital her husband's been in since Thursday.

Eventually you know it had to happen, but it sux.

I was talking to some random person tonight and they said "I'm most likely going to miss the Superbowl.. my team isn't in it and I just can't get into it the same...." here's the kicker, "But I love football.. I mean, I have the NFL Sunday Ticket.."

I love how people throw out the Sunday ticket like that qualifies them as a "football enthusiast"..

if you can't watch the Packers -vs- Steelers, then you aren't a football fan. this game is liable to be one of the best we've ever seen due to how tough both of these teams are..

If you don't watch this game with all of your attention focused on the TV screen, then I doubt your fanhood..

unless you're in the hospital.. ;)

Yea... Sunday Ticket can just mean you only want to watch one team play and don't really care about the rest of the NFL, or other games. Hence not a true NFL fan, Just a team "X" fan.

who cares if you've been to the SB every year honestly

yea pretty stupid tradition, and expensive to. You could travel to an exotic country with that money every year and do it withe the family or loved ones and create wonderful memories.

I loved the one that was said "yea... I missed weddings, births, graduations but not a SB!, hahaha" yea won't be so funny on your death bed when you realize that is what your leaving with, kind of like the one guys is finding out now, no surprise he is depressed. SB isn't so important when death puts your mind in perspective, it just s shame it takes that much effort to get you to notice.

I love football as much as the next guy but obviously that's more than love, that's an obsession and worse, a very flawed perception of what is important. How the hell could you send that kind of message to your family, that it is more important to them?

And Visa, the NFL embraces it, now that is what is truly sad but very smart business moves!

it's not about anyone caring if they've went to a SB every year (other than Visa wanting an excuse to make a commercial), if that's what they do, then that's what they do..

yea pretty stupid tradition, and expensive to. You could travel to an exotic country with that money every year and do it withe the family or loved ones and create wonderful memories.

if someone wants to make that a tradition and has money to blow, then so be it.. I'm sure they can go travel to an exotic country the week after..

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
