I go to church from 1800 - 1900 on Sunday p.m. Also, haven't had a lot of interest in pro football since times of Dick Butkus, Randy White, Mike Webster, Jack Lambert etc. when a team was the same team members for a decade. Anyway, if you didn't watch, was there a particular reason?

I did not watch the first half-hour because one of my all time favourite shows was on another channel.
 
Caught a little bit here and there at work. We were hoping it would last longer as our ER was not as busy during the game but was still busy enough to just see portions of it.
 
I'm just not a football fan. I don't like time clock sports... letting the clock expire or (in basketball) intentionally fouling to stop the clock.. It's all lame.

I'm a baseball guy... If a teams lets the bases get loaded, they can't wait out the clock... They need to play their way out of it.
 
Never watched one, don't see the point in it. There are hundreds of other things I'd rather be doing and many of those actually have some usefulness in my life.
 
I like football, I guess. But, I didn't have any interest in these two teams, so I chose to spend my evening reloading.

I, too, recall when players, especially in baseball, stayed with the same team for most of their careers. I have finally come back to baseball and am enjoying it, but still don't like it when the guys I root for on a team leave for another at the end of the season.

Didn't watch because I was watching old British comedy reruns on Netflix. I didn't know who was playing until Saturday.

I haven't paid much attention to pro sports since the Cowboys were The Cowboys.

Best part of the show was when the lights went out. Beyonce ruined it. As usual, the halftime show sucked and so did the commercials except for Paul Harvey's voiceover on the Dodge ad.
 
Realizing early on it was pre-ordained to be the "Ray Lewis" victory show, it was what it was. Working in the electric utility industry I took great interest in the power outage, which just shows how boring I've become! :) My son did note that Ray's knife victim was watching from above and decided to stir things up and make a showing...I agreed with him, but wished the spirits had not blinded the refs from seeing obvious pass interference calls at the end. :(
 
I turned the game on for the commercials. By the half time show I was bored and turned it off. I am not a sports fan. I am a car guy and race fan.
 
My wife and I usually go out to eat. During the game, the streets look like something out of a science fiction movie. There's no waiting for a table at our favorite restaurant.

I thought I'd watch a movie last night. Unfortunately, TCM felt that those who would rather not watch the football game thing, would be inclined to enjoy My Fair Lady...not that there's anything wrong with that. I popped in a DVD of The Sands of Iwo Jima.
 
Game? There was a game? Spent that time wrangling the grandson. With darned few timeouts.

Needless to say, he ran all over me.

Because I find sports boring and trivial.

I watched "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet. I find dogs far less annoying than football players and far more intelligent than sports commentators.

After that, I turned the TV off and talked guns online.
