OT Poll: Are you watching the Super Bowl

wybrit · February 1, 2004 7:44AM

You can see by the first response what I am doing.

1jester · February 1, 2004 7:48AM

Superbowl is #1 over here.

NOT!!!!

wybrit · February 1, 2004 7:51AM

I didn't grow up with any interest in it either. Always been a real football fan instead. I see that Chelsea knocked off Blackburn at Ewood Park today. Unfortunately, United and the %$^&@#$ Gunners won as well.

1jester · February 1, 2004 7:53AM

Europeans really go for "football" (soccer) too. They even get way violent and consistently kill each other. I'm talking about the fans now. And it's not safe to go to games either.

wybrit · February 1, 2004 7:55AM

I saw one match at Stamford Bridge as a lad and enjoyed it, but it's a pretty scary place. Lots of thugs support the Blues.

Lloyd · February 1, 2004 7:56AM

It's not Chelsea any more... everyone's calling 'em Chelski..

Lloyd · February 1, 2004 7:58AM

Got arrested at Chelsea once - copper said i had one of those kung-fu stars on me... plant.

Cardiff Fan...

Too true!! They've got a Russian owner with deep pockets.

That's what all the shed boys say!!

farthing · February 1, 2004 8:00AM

Cool! The Gunners are back on top!

Lloyd · February 1, 2004 8:04AM

SHED?

I'm surprised you know what the Shed is Tom....

wybrit · February 1, 2004 8:05AM

Cardiff Fan

Not many glory years for Cardiff City lately.

wybrit · February 1, 2004 8:06AM

I'm surprised you know what the Shed is Tom....

Anyone who lived in London (like I did) and had a pulse knows what the "Shed End" is at Stamford Bridge - and to stay away from it.

Lloyd · February 1, 2004 8:07AM

We only used to go for the aggro...

Roman Abramovich? Deep Pockets?

Try bottomless pits...

Aethelred · February 1, 2004 8:08AM

If the funny commericals were not interrupted but the game and the really lame halftime show, I might watch. Think I'll just list some stuff on eBay and hang out here.

wybrit · February 1, 2004 8:09AM

Signs of intelligence from an otherwise dead king!!

Lloyd · February 1, 2004 8:12AM

This is British Corner Tonight.... Passport required...

Tom, have you seen "The Office" on TV over there yet....?

(There is a corner of a foreign forum, that is forever England...)

Aethelred · February 1, 2004 8:15AM

I don't have a passport, should I go?

wybrit · February 1, 2004 8:16AM

have you seen "The Office" on TV over there yet....?

No, I haven't. Don't watch much telly anymore. I like old shows like Dr. Who, Blake's 7, The Avengers, UFO and The Two Ronnies (it's good night from me...and it's good night from him).

Also, just about any Brit comedy starring Ronnie Barker.

Lloyd · February 1, 2004 8:21AM

Ronnie Barker's the mutts nutts... Porridge is my all time favourite.

Do yourself a favour and watch "the office". Comedian called Ricky Gervais. They beat Friends and Sex in the City for two Golden Globes the other day... Apparently it's hitting cult status in the States. He's due to appear in the Simpsons...

1jester · February 1, 2004 8:31AM

I always enjoyed watching Dr. Who, no matter who was playing Who.

Aethelred · February 1, 2004 8:38AM

I like Dr. Who and The Who (but they should have called it quits after Keith Moon died).

wybrit · February 1, 2004 8:45AM

Dr. Who rules. I especially liked the Tom Baker and Peter Davison stretches.

Best Dr. Who companions: Mary Tamm (in the good looks category), who was Romana #1 and Turlough, who was a devious lout. Liz Shaw wasn't bad either (legs).

Worst Dr. Who: Sylvester McCoy - an absolute disaster. Worst companion: Ace - obnoxious.

wybrit · February 1, 2004 8:48AM

By the way, any more-than-casual Dr. Who fan should pick up a copy of the paperback "The Completely Useless Encyclopedia." It is a hilarious send-up of Dr. Who.

good game so far!!

izzy452 · February 1, 2004 9:31AM

Im Watching !

coinkat · February 1, 2004 9:39AM

I am shocked and saddened Wybrit that in order to drink and eat hi-carb snacks that one must be watching the Super Bowl...

Since when was that a requirement?

ajaan · February 1, 2004 9:40AM

<< <i>%$^&@#$ Gunners >>

Wybrit. You are crude. My son is a Man U fan.

nwcs · February 1, 2004 9:47AM

I should be. I actually like the game and the matchup. But I'm kind of worn out now on football. And I grew weary of 2 weeks of the media complaining that it couldn't generate a story (translation: lack of talent in the media). Just found other things to do. I am one of those people who can sit and watch three games in a single day (1, 4:30, Sunday Night Football) or miss everything (like right now). Thank goodness I can also do that with coins! I can walk away from coins and pick and choose the ones I want freely.

wybrit · February 1, 2004 9:55AM

My son is a Man U fan.

I don't dislike Man U. Only Arsenal. They are to Chelsea what BYU is to Wyoming.

wybrit · February 1, 2004 9:56AM

It's not.

For some people, though, it's an excuse. Bye bye New Year's Resolutions, all across America!!

coinkat · February 1, 2004 10:02AM

I am sorry Wybrit... I just couldn't resist

spinaker2000 · February 1, 2004 10:33AM

GO CATS!!!!!!!

wybrit · February 1, 2004 10:34AM

I'm not watching the game, but I see from the Drudge Report that at least one of the halftime performers is baring more than her soul.

Luvdawgs · February 1, 2004 10:40AM

My husband's watching it, but to me it's BO-RING!

ajaan · February 1, 2004 11:38AM

wybrit, I am an Arsenal fan.

Great Super Bowl, one of the best all times. The better team won.

spinaker2000 · February 1, 2004 11:45AM

<< <i>The better team won. >>

By three!!

Cat's proved themselves!!

CIVITAS · February 2, 2004 12:54AM

Wouldn't miss it. Even passed up a coin show for it. Superbowl Sunday is my favorite holiday.
