ER doctors observe chokings, sprains, broken teeth, ravaged vocal cords. On the Super Bowl field? No, it's in the den, where Dad and Uncle Bob are going berserk for their teams.

If you ain’t man enough to wath the Super Bowl stay the hell away from the flat screen!!

[Badeye]

My wifre routinely scares the hell out of our dogs during games.

She’s in touch with her ‘inner linebacker’....(chuckle)

Bark-a-lounger

Y'all be careful out there especially that urinary thing. Last super bowl I watched was the year Jim Plunket retired...

[Goldsborough]

The very idea of people being overstimulated by a crew of No Fun League mercenaries, playing for welfare seeking owners, all essentially using the same styles of play, is frankly rather laughable.

NFL=NASCAR of football. That is not a compliment.

why do I smell another “Super Bowl Increase in Wife Beating” hoax?

[Doohickey]

Incidentally, where are all the news stories about the increase in wife beatings that usually turn up at this time of year?

[Oldpuppymax]

Uh, oh. Clearly the government MUST get involved. For the greater good, of course. The Super Bowl shall henceforth be banned on national TV. In fact, as sports are designed to cause embarrassment for the loser—and we all know that there is no such thing as a loser—sports shall no longer be permitted to result in anything but a tie! There. Now the US is a better place!

Your wife is welcome at my house any Sunday. She and I would get along great! Hubby keeps telling my daughter and me to keep it down, we’re going to get complaints from the neighbors.

I just say: I may not know everything about football, but I know a tightend when I see one... (grins evilly)

[DManA]

I smell a new urban legend.

[Badeye]

LOL! My wife got her girlfriends into watching the NFL in the 1980’s because of ‘the tight white pants’...(chuckle)

That said, she knows the difference between a ‘cover two’ defense, and ‘man to man’.

I married very well indeed.

Thanks for posting this reality versus the Jayson Blair type of bs in this so called article.

We all know that this year only Stiller fans need to worry about this. I’m taking no chances - I’ll have the wife tape my ankles about 4, put on the pads about 5.

The only tricky part is eating Nachos while wearing a helmet.
