Pooper
Well its Super Bowl weekend, and even though I'm a really big footbal fan, I find that I don't really care about this game much. Its one thing that the teams that are playing I'm not terribly interested in, but really I'm put off by the whole spectacle of it.

The pregame stuff starts almost as early as the morning, even though there is nothing to talk about. You can't make good predictions, and its only football. At most there is only about 30 minutes worth of discussion that you could manage that they drag out into 4 hours.

Really thats not the worst of it. The Super Bowl isn't even about football fans. The tickets are impossibly expensive, and so few tickets even go to the fans in New England or Philly. The players family go, the coaches and assistants family, celebs and contest winners and overall rich people. The NFL doesn't want fans there, they want you to watch it, so they can book million dollar advertisements that aren't worth it. Face it, the Ads suck. For every clever one there are 50 annoying ads. Its just one big spectacle designed so that you sit there while they try and sell you shit. I've actually known people that tape the game and fast forward through the football to watch the ads. That, combined with Nickelback's dominance of the radio is surely sign of the coming apocalypse.
