Anybody else not watching all the pre-Super Bowl

I'll watch the game but I don't care for any of the theatrics.

Or the halftime

I haven't watched any of it. I usually watch some, but this year, none.. Obviously i'll watch the game, but during the day tomorrow i'll watch my Giants DVD's.

And turn on my set at 6:20

I'll watch tr halftime hoping for a wardrobe malfunction

Time I did was in the 2011 NYG-NE game. And I remembered how terrible it is.

all of this crap is just boring bullshit. I actually don't think I heard ANY game analysis or matchup/strategy discussions.

I think after the NFC/AFC Championships, football is over unless the Giants are playing in the Superbowl.

thing I watch every year is "Road to the Super Bowl".

I bet you they do a bit on Beckham.

Great idea. Maybe I'll watch the '07 Cowboys playoff game; never gets old.

pontificating on a game that is going to last all of three hours.

But, hey, that's just me.

fresh faced MILF food magazine editor tell me how to make SB snacks a healthy choice the TV is going out the window.

If the opportunity presents I will watch the game. Otherwise I could care less about it this year.

So no

"Finally....... Football"

I was going to post a similar thread. The only thing I've read is the Post article on Belicheck's secret assistant that steve posted. Besides this, nothing but BBI threads.

I'll watch the game and commercials, that's it.

So I definitely haven't seen any of the coverage.

I watch shows I like in my room on my computer. Other than that, I watch sports on the television. That's it. So I never really get to just sit and flip through channels, which is when I'd wind up watching all this crap.

I also don't have a TV in my bedroom. I think if I did I probably would've seen a lot more.

Thursday prior to the game. I'm excited for the game now and will be watching with the family tomorrow at noon when the festivities really begin. It's football folks, for the final time until July.

People making noise to justify a paycheck. Pass.

Have not watched anything regarding this game.

Haven't watch a football pregame in years.

anyone watches more than a snippet here and there. I didn't even watch all of the pre game stuff on game day when the Giants were in it. Too keyed up. Just wanted the game to start.

and that's it.

then going to our respective locales...

there is something in the air(sorry, couldn't help myself), about the SB this year.....

I'm not feeling it.....

The media around here, is talking about how if the Patriots win, it puts them at the top of the food chain with 4 wins and 6 appearances....conveniently forgetting about the first two appearances...

What they aren't talking about is, what are the ramifications of a loss? This would make them a .500 team in the SB(under BB/Brady), and puts Brady up there with not only 3 wins, but 3 losses, in his last three attempts........

So what would be the more significant aspect? The three wins, or the last 3 losses? To me it's obvious, it's the losses.....and though they have been there now a record 8 times(tied), with another loss, they will be 3-5 and tied for the most losses in the SB.....a win makes them 4-4 overall....but the media just wants to concentrate on the BB/Brady era....

The Pats have the edge offensively, Seattle defensively.....the immovable object vs the irresistible force....one or the other will gain control of this game....I think it comes down to who wants it more.....so I have to go with the Pats....

I stopped watching any and all pre-game shows. I just couldn't listen to all the bullshit they spew. Doesn't matter what they say anyway. It has no affect on the outcome of the games. Most of it is self serving.

The show I find interesting, and I don't watch it as much as I once did is the playbook on NFL Network. I like how they analyze teams plays and strategies they use in a game. How teams attack certain schemes and so on. It really goes into the x's o's on both sides of the ball.

I don't watch one second of that garbage. I don't really get into any pregame even for regular season games. Who cares? Who really CARES what the prognosticators have to say? I've tried before and I find it terribly boring. Even when the Giants were in the Super Bowl, I can find something better to do with my time instead of listening to people talk. I'm all about the game time and Big Blue Interactive.

I don't even watch the pre-game shows on Sunday although it will be on for background noise just prior to the game. it's funny I recall not watching most of the pre-SB stuff when the Giants were in it '07 and '11. Too nervous I guess.

Just wish there had been a little more commentary/analysis around Richard Sherman.
They really didn't do that angle justice........






/ESPN Executives

Road to super bowl right now

any more. I'd rather watch Premier League soccer. In fact, I'd rather watch nothing.

I have to work tomorrow and if I don't get home in time to see the game it's no big deal.

I agree 100%.

Don't usually watch any half time either, and certainly won't be watching this one. Actually I don't anticipate watching any of the game, either, and it's not just because I don't give a shit about the commercials.

The NFL has all but lost me as a fan because the league sucks so bad and the non-stop bullshit is piled so deep.

The NFL and NBC this year, have to believe that those who do watch are only going catch a piece here and there.
Who in their right mind would watch 6 HOURS of pre-game let alone have 6 hours to sit in front of a TV?
I think all I've watch for each Giants SB was maybe 30 minutes before kickoff.

I'm with you on this, i was just telling my neighbor the other day that if i wasn't such a big giant fan i'd say to hell with this league and sport. Between the scandals, criminals and felons, an inept and arrogant commisioner, guys celebrating a 1st down catch with 5 minutes left to go in a game that his team is down by 21 points in, assholes like richard sherman who cant and wont shut the fuck up, the whole sport has become a fucking 3 ring circus. Its a disgrace. With that being said, i rather watch paint dry then watch any of the pre-game drivel spewed by these so-called experts. I have no patience for any of it and the 2 weeks leading up to tonight is unbearable.

All the pregame blather....with all their fake laughter and ‘deep” analysis -- are where your fun Sunday afternoon goes to die. The real kickoff time is Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Be smart. Turn on the TV at 6:29.

Waste of time. I'll listen to the Francesa show this morning.

But, I also never watched in 2008 and 2012 either, save for clips offered up on here..

Count me in on this as well. Unless we are playing I really couldnt care less. Its why I prefer EPL soccer now. Im sure they have all the same BS going on but because Im not exposed to any of it and only see the games and the analysis, its won me over.

Yeah, I know that. Colin Cowherd said that only something low like 3% of his listeners listen to his entire show everyday and the producers know how to produce shows based on that information.

I'm saying agreeing with everyone else, that I only not would not watch six hours of pregame, that I wouldn't watch ANY of it.
