Normally I would be FOR Houston, Dallas, Tennessee, Rams, N.O., But Patriots and Rams are cheaters like O.U. so not thrilled to watch it. Invited to a S.B. watching party. Might be fun. But the game... Who Cares?????

Neither will I, but it’s very interesting as a commercial phenomenon.

I have never been a professional football fan. College football, sometimes, yes. But the pros is about business, not about sport.

Sunday is my birthday and I will spend it celebrating with my family, eating homemade tacos and playing with our granddaughter. Supposed to be 72 degrees here on Sunday.

The Super Bowl, a mostly hyped and over-rated game every year, will not be watched. No one in my family cares, including myself.

More important things do.

I’m with you. Can’t understand why anyone actually cares. How many times have the Patriots been caught cheating? Violating NFL rules by spying on and filming opposing teams’ practices, deflating the football so it’s more “comfortable” for Brady and jamming opponents booth-to-field comms (they’re not the only team to do that). How much more have the Patriots and other teams done that the public never knew?

Doesn’t anyone wonder how and why clearly obvious calls aren’t made? But question the officials and you’re fined; like the pope, the referees are infallible. It’s part of NFL dogma. Why aren’t certain calls and non-calls challengeable and why do they just seem to be made (or not) at points when they clearly influence the outcome of a game?

Remember the NBA ref who was being prosecuted for gambling and influencing the outcome of NBA games? After he threatened to expose corruption in ALL professional sports, the story “mysteriously” disappeared. There is WAY too much money on the line for professional sports not to be corrupted, but we cheer for our favorite team of overpaid “professional athletes” and pretend it’s legit.

Go ahead, color me jaded...
