Who is watching the Super Bowl this weekend?
I'm not.
I've never found football particularly thrilling. It's just a bunch of men running around in tight pants to me. I'd rather read.
However, I do tune into the Half Time Show. And this year will be a fun one with Bad Bunny and Green Day.
Here are things I won't be doing on Sunday:
Cook.
Sundays are the day of rest. I'm always in awe of the women who are like, "My husband wanted to throw a Super Bowl party so I need to make a list on what I'm going to make!" My face is all:
Shout.
It drives me insane when people shout for no reason. So an overpaid padded player drops the ball? Big deal. I was more upset when the show Friends made us wait to find out what would happen after Ross said the name Rachel at his wedding to Emily. That's something to shout about. We had to wait like THREE MONTHS to witness the aftermath of that debacle. You don't shout over a fumble. You shout over cliffhangers and when things like this happen:
Rooting For A Certain Team
I generally pick who I want to win based on the uniform color. I'm not a fan of the US right now or any of their colors, so I am rooting for the Seahawks. Someone asked me the other day who I was rooting for and I was like, "the Seahawks, I guess," and then they launched into a story of players on the team and such, and I was like:
Go Online And Bash Moves That Players Make
I'm always in awe on how passionate some people get online. This one chick was all, "If you say a bad word about *insert football player here* I am UNFRIENDING you." Over FOOTBALL! I mean I'd totally understand if the person was like "If you try to get me to stop drinking Diet Coke I'll unfriend you" but football?
Run Through The Streets After The Game
I mean, I'd be tempted to run through the streets because FOOTBALL IS OVER, YAY! No more games interrupting my shows! So maybe I WOULD run through the streets.
------
So if you're watching the game, have fun! I have many people in my life who LOVE football and think I'm crazy for disliking the sport. I'll either be reading or watching 90 Day Fiance. I'll still be stuffing my face though. You don't need a football game to enjoy wings and cheese dips.

My Super Bowl Sunday won't involve any parties or prop bets. While everyone else is watching commercials, I’ll be focused on a final review for my Monday exam. Thankfully, I found the Take My Law Exam for me service, so they’re handling the actual test for me. This strategic move means I can finally enjoy the game without any academic stress, turning a day of dread into a real victory.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the honesty and humor in this post, it feels like a refreshing permission slip to celebrate the day in your own way instead of following the crowd. The way you shared your boundaries made it relatable and empowering, especially for anyone who prefers a quieter kind of Sunday. Posts like this remind me that traditions are meant to fit our lives, not the other way around.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with all of this. I wont be doing any of this but will be shopping.
ReplyDeleteAnd here my mom & stepdad are looking into vaca home rentals to host a Superbowl party! LOL I'm not into football either even though I grew up with it but I am def excited about Bad Bunny & Greenday for sure.
