I have cut WAY down on my NFL consumption the last few years. And that’s from someone who grew up loving football, played Div. I college ball, and helped coach little league football. I have been paying a lot more attention to hockey, MMA, and rugby.

I hope Brady wins but we ain’t watching

LSU and Bama will be back soon enough as well as my high school son who will play free safety for a top tier Tennessee 5A team near Franklin next season after middle school this year

It’s his own coach moving up which is just pure luck

Now that I will admit is when it gets exciting

Man when they throw long on him I’m like please be on your receiver ...it takes your breath

It’s a blast though

Isn’t ‘Lacy Gag Me’ supposed to be there?

That’s reason enough to boycott.

I wonder what kind of repulsive insult she plans to cast in our faces.

To be fair, the Bud commercial is about legal immigrants, not illegals. If liberals were willing to make that distinction honestly, most immigration problems would disappear. However, I agree with you on the likely reaction.

NFL: Negros, Felons, and Liberals. No one else welcome.

“Me, I’m taking a knee on watching the Super Bowl this year.”

Funny, but well said. We, too, won’t be watching. I have many friends saying the same thing.

In the past no one planned group activities, even children’s activities on Super Bowl Sunday. I notice this year many things are on Super Bowl Sunday and few even said anything when the date was picked.

I am having a family Super Bowl party, but we are not watching the game. We are going to have all the yummy food and going to visit and get some chores done that need doing.

I bet 0%. After the boob incident the league has very careful about the halftime show. Picking and instructing the artists to avoid offense. Gaga did a fine job on the anthem last year, she’s really running a vastly different image these days, it’ll be a clean to the point of boring show.

The new BUD commercial will turn off the NFL fan base. Monday mornings storyline.

$50 bucks says "you're right as rain" on that one.

Budweiser, the king of beers, was once owned by the
Annheuser-Busch company, and is now owned by a Belgian
brewing company called In-Bev.

Which is the funny punchline to the immigrant story. German comes to America, starts a company, it becomes huge, family sells to Belgian company, could have saved a boat trip.
