Everybody is very, very excited.
Except of course me and probably a lot of the women.
If you are a wife this means of course that you have an increased chance of being the victim of domestic abuse, or at the very least will have to listen to your man yell at his TV like a freaking psychopath.
If you are a female who likes football then more power to you, I think you must have accidentally received my football lovers gene by mistake. Cause mine is missing.
If you have been a visitor here in the past then you likely know that I ONLY watch one football game a year, and this is it.
(This is no joke I only learned which teams were playing yesterday afternoon.)
I know very little about the teams, except that I fucking hate the Patriots and damn it this year they need to lose, and lose big!
I really mostly like the cool commercials and previews to upcoming movies which always premiere on Superbowl day.
And of course the best part may be that we do not have to listen to any Trump lies today.
Pansy ass!A reminder about what's missing from the Super Bowl pre-game show: President Trump. He's snubbing NBC (https://t.co/w7lcvtF3eR) https://t.co/QjzEq8F8Xc— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) February 4, 2018
I will update this post with tweets and perhaps a few of those cool commercials as the day progresses.
However be warned that today is also the only day that I drink beer and the effect that beer has on me is that it lowers my IQ and allows me to enjoy watching a bunch of grown ass men playing a children's game for obscene amounts of money.
That also means that my updates can be a little nonsensical and even odd.
Anyhow here is your open thread, do with it as you will.
Update: Maybe for their next Superbowl Tom Brady will not walk into the stadium like the biggest douchebag on the planet.
Enjoy your life and the game. You have been a stand-up respite for venting .Re :palin/trump hateful,racists, narcissistic,stupid trash.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Have fun Gryph but as a female Bostonian, Democrat,and Patriots fan I hope you are extremely disappointed tonight. Go Pats!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Brady is an outstanding quarterback, but after deflategate when he claimed he didn't notice that the footballs were deflated, I lost all respect for the guy who has probably thrown a million footballs.

DeleteHe is channelling Jared Kushner.
DeleteA friend of ours has occasionally hosted SuperBowl parties where we gather, talk, eat, drink, talk, eat some more, and talk some more about anything other than football. Occasionally we would notice that the TV over in the corner was showing some kind of a football game. The only time it got interesting was one year when, toward the end of the game, a fistfight broke out among the players. "Ah!" I said. "Now the game makes sense!"

DeleteHey, Gryph....just saw the coin toss by a MOH recipient. A whole group of previous MOH awardees were there but no sign of DUHkota. Any idea why he’s not there???
ReplyDeleteDuhkota is a fraud just like his in-laws.
DeletePeople are asking him that on his Instagram account.
DeleteInteresting.....
DeleteI wonder if the “real” MOHs expressed a preference that Duh not be there (?)
Very strange. Always questions surrounding that family. Does anyone know why Dakota has his own house? Does he ever live with Bristol & her kids in her house? His house is definitely not the one Bristol lives in.
Delete3:13 where do you get your information?
DeleteDumkotex is caring for Bristol's girls and his son Tripp.
DeleteCan you imagine what he would do to Larry Nassar?
Strange he doesn't care about the family members who were terrorized, beat and threatened by Track Palin. Had he cared, he would not keep the secrets and been part of endangering victims and future victims. If Dumkotex was a stand up man, or law and order, he would do the right thing.
If Track was where he belongs that would prevent his attacks on his baby, girlfriend and family, including Todd Palin. Track is a scaredy cat and he ran away from all the dangers he saw. Dum protected no one. He only claims to protect and fix things. He is a total fraud, and he only goes on to become more of a fraud.
Like all the Palin klan, Dum is complicit in the cover up and crimes.
'They'd have needed a hell of a lot more deputies to keep me from getting my hands on him.'

Did Duhkota adopt Tripp? If not stop referring to him as his son.
Delete4:17 PM
DeleteYou tell Tripp to stop referring to and calling Duhkota dad. Tell Duh to stop calling Tripp son.
More people convinced that Tripp has no affection for Bristol and Dakota which is preposterous regardless of how anyone feels about the Palins.
DeleteShow the kid some respect. He is old enough to know what happened to his mother in that tent. He feels like Dakota is his father or he would not call him dad.
DeleteWhy do so many loons here refuse to believe that Tripp probably cares for Dakota? I would seriously wonder about his emotional health if he didn't.
DeleteI never heard Tripp say he wanted to be a hunter or what Levi does for work. Tripp knows he wants to be a sniper.
DeleteI seem to remember Bitchtol havign a fit when Tripp called Sunny, Mama Sunny.
DeleteI would wonder very much abtou the emotional health of a kid who's been jerked around the country like Tripp has with such an unstable home life.
Those two knuckledraggers in TexAss can try to brainwash him, but oemtime in teenagerhood he'll rebel and take off to find hs REAL old man. It won't be pretty.
Yeah, cuz, "sniper" is a profession.
DeleteTripp only knows that Dakota is a sniper and he could care less about a profession. We don't know why Tripp calls him Dad. He may be following orders. He needs to please the sniper.
Delete6:38 you are an illiterate Alaskan.
DeleteBut Dakota wasn't a sniper. He's just a garden variety Marine grunt. Chris Kyle is the sniper they all worship.
DeleteChris Kyle was even a bigger fraud than DumbKoda.

ReplyDeleteFB>fyi"The Senate voted Wednesday to change the lyrics of Canada’s national anthem to make it more gender neutral. As a result, Canadians did not riot, the economy did not falter and rivers did not reverse course.
ReplyDeleteGiven the resistance of a group of recalcitrant Conservative senators, observers might have anticipated any manner of dire consequences would befall the country after formally tweaking the second line of O Canada from “in all thy sons command” to “in all OF US command.”
The legislation now needs only royal assent to become law but it took two years to reach this point after Liberal MP Mauril Belanger, suffering from ALS, introduced it as his dying wish. The House of Commons rightly passed the private member’s bill. That, in itself, stands as a momentous accomplishment seeing as how 12 similar bills over some 30 years all failed before it.
But despite overwhelming approval from elected members of Parliament, the bill had languished in the upper chamber for 18 months, blocked by some senators who believe Parliament is wrong to tinker with an historic work of art. It took a controversial motion to shut down debate to finally get the bill passed.
In fairness, many Canadians side with those senators who believe that changing the lyrics to the anthem disrespects tradition or panders to political correctness. The pro-preservation argument is undercut by the fact that “in all thy sons command” was itself a substitution for the original, clunky but gender neutral lyrics “thou dost in us command.” Others contend that even the changed lyrics “in all thy sons command” carry historical significance because they were added to recognize the Canadian men who fought in the First World War.
But as the song was changed then, it can be changed again. It is not a museum relic set in hardened amber but a living symbol of the country that Canadians, including women and girls, sing and hear at sporting events and occasions of celebration and commemoration. Just as we adopted a new flag to reflect Canada’s emergence as a independent, post-colonial nation so must our anthem adapt to reflect us, as we are now.
In the 110 years since O Canada was written, women have gained the right to vote and are thankfully no longer viewed as subordinates to men. The lyrics “in all of us command” encapsulate our national values of inclusiveness and equality. There is no longer any reason why O Canada should exclude half the population.
It’s time our anthem caught up with the country."
The song that should be Canada's anthem, according to many Canadians. I agree.
DeleteNorthwest Passage by Stan Rogers. Canada's Woody Guthrie (with a much better voice.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVY8LoM47xI
Seems to me it would have flowed better sung as "you do in us command." It's a better update of the original lyrics.
DeleteO Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all of us command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
I think the Conservatives can rest easy that the politically correct liberals at least left "God" alone.
When our local Old Globe Theater did an updated version of Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor (Canada) we heard the cast sing "Oh, Canada" at the beginning of every show. After a while we would all sing along. I used to know the lyrics by heart, but not any more.
Perhaps I should brush up in case Trump nukes North Korea and I need to repatriate quickly.

They used to use Roman numerals for movies for the year the movie was made or released. It used to be fun to try to figure it out before it scrolled by. They don't do that any more.
It's like penmanship. A lost art.
I do not watch any organized team sports as they remind me too much of political parties and voters who will vote against their own best interests like fans that will cheer a no-talent, inept, losing team and deny talent and skill in another.

Or are we that dry as a country that we gotta go backwards in artist too? I liked Lady GaGa, Beyonce, and Katy Perry's shows but for the guy shows, just nothing.
DeleteBecause they won't hire rappers and all the hot talent now is rap - Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd.
DeleteThose like Ed Sheeran are snoozefests, though likable and with some interesting lyrics.
I watched the half-time show by Timberlake and he lost me. I know he's very popular and well regarded in his industry, but his show didn't grab me...seemed like he did a lot of walking back and forth w/his singing difficult to hear - or, the words he was saying were hard to understand!

ReplyDeleteOnly one minute on the clock.
If Brady pulls this off he deserves every bit of praise he has ever received.
Cheaters are losers.
DeleteThe Eagles win!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great game, made more so by the fact that the Patriots are not going home with the trophy.
I think that makes my Dad happy. Although he wanted them both to lose for choosing such a frigid place to play their game instead of sunny Southern California. I have no idea why as he would never actually GO to a game, not even in town.
DeleteI didn't really care who won or lost, so the underdog team winning is always kind of satisfying.
DeleteBut I'm curious Gryph, as to "I know very little about the teams, except that I fucking hate the Patriots and damn it this year they need to lose, and lose big!"
I'm just curious as to your animosity. There is no denying that the Patriots have developed a coaching staff and team and frankly, almost not even arguably, melded one of the greatest quarter backs ever. I get everyone hates him for his pretty boy-ness and whatever. But the dude is 40 years old and probably still the best QB out there, at least for the Patriots type program. (Rogers with GB is a perfect fit too, almost too good, sucks he got injured).
But really why the hate? Their success is definitely due to running a stellar organizational program from top to bottom. Is there something wrong with that?
Weren’t the Patriots involved in a cheating scandal involving the underinflation of footballs?
DeleteGee, I have no interest in sports whatsoever but even I recognize the name Patriots and remember why people hate them. Deflategate. I believe it was Tom Brady that perpetrated the deed so that explains the animosity towards him personally.
Given their history, one can question how much of that success is due to running a stellar organization and how much to unsportsmanlike behavior and cheating for which they did not get caught.
9:28, I do not hate Tom Brady because of his pretty-boy ness; I hate him because he is a cheater and a lier, and he was sneering and condescending during the investigation.
DeleteSame with his coach; they lie and cheat, so who knows how good they really are?
Other teams didn’t film steal play calls for opposing teams.
Patriots suck for those reasons and I’m glad they lost.

I find I can get through a month's worth of housecleaning during the stoppages. And there's so little action that it's hard to miss anything.
ReplyDeleteBut this year I was a bit discombobulated because I didn't feel hungry for anything. Normally the best part about the super bowl is the pigging out part.
Now I'm hearing about terrible behavior by fans in Philly, which is really a great city- but when the game was won I was really struck by the genuine affection of the Eagles players towards their team mates and their officials.
For myself, that last touchdown sealed it, I was never in any doubt after that- because that touchdown would have filled the Eagles players with so much adrenaline that nobody could have beaten them. Those last few minutes were a waste of time.
And go suck it, Maga Hat Brady, Trump Pal Belichick and Million Dollar Donor Kraft. A good man doesn't have bad politics.
We did not watch the Super Bowl. We're not football fans. I know my family is glad that the Eagles won because they live in Philadelphia. So I'm pleased about the outcome.
