This is pure idiocy possibly altering the outcome of the game of the season because of such an insignificant and trivial reason.

When talking about a "game", isn't everything "insignificant and trivial".

I think your concerns probably focus more on the finances that surround the game, both legal and illegal. When talking about money, things suddenly become very important.

You can try to high-mindedly make that asinine point, but you are stone-*ss wrong.

Some of us think this "game" is very important because of all the difficult, lifelong effort these men on both teams have put into their seasons and their careers! Your remarks are just plain ignorant and uninformed, imo.

If you ever played a "game" at a very high (professional) level you might know something of which you speak.

This is about a lifetime of effort by these men and organizations, it is not a trivial game as you foolishly and arrogantly suggest.

Go see 'Humpback Mounting' when the game's on tonight, if you think it's so unimportant.

Give me a break! I know that 13 dollar bet with my barber (thats a haircut) really has me bothered.

Professional sports teams, especially football teams, are something whole cities get behind and support. It brings people together and fans as well as players have a lot of emotion involved in this game.

I have fond memories of rooting for the Hawks with my Dad, Grandpa, brothers and friends since I was a child. My mom is having a Seahawk cake made and my Dad put the Hawk flag up. I have family and friends coming to eat and drink and enjoy the biggest sporting event in American culture, 1 billion people will be watching this uniquely American game and I'll be damned if the game should be decided because a ball slips out of the QB's hand and gets intercepted.
