I’m not what you’d call a real athletic woman in fact I’m the ultimate non-sporty girl, but I love the Super Bowl. I blame my parents of course for this. I grew up a fan of the Miami Dolphins when the great Bob Giese was the quarterback and Don Shula their coach. I morphed into a Dan Marino fan though I have to be honest and admit that I did like Joe Montana and my loyalties were divided while he was playing for the 49ers.
And now I have no team l root for regularly but I do have players that I really like. And this Sunday two of them will be playing. The first is Payton Manning and the second is Drew Brees. I know that’s crazy. I have no idea who I’m going to cheer for this Sunday during our little family party.
My daughter (a.k.a. awesomeness in human form) is a fierce Colts fan. She wore her Colts jersey all season even though we live in Dallas and the Cowboys were having a good year. My fiance is a Saints fan. And my son (a.k.a. beautiful face) is a fan of the commercials and the chicken wings that I always make.
I’m stuck. You can see my problem here. I can’t just willy-nilly chose one team to cheer for. I need to have good reasons for that cheering and my old way of choosing a team–who’s quarterback is the cutest is out. I mean I’m old enough now to be the older sister of some of these guys!
So what’s your thoughts? If you are watching the game are you pulling for the Colts or the Saints? Or are you just there for the excellent snacks and the commercials?
I will send an autographed copy of my upcoming Bare Witness to one lucky blog participant today!

I’m not sure I’ll watch the game on sunday because here in France it will be from midnight to 4 am (and I usualy do have a few things to do on mondays
. I’m going to record it and DH and I will watch it on monday night.
Last year I watched it all night because I’m a die-hard Steelers fan. This year I’ll just be watching a good game… no pressure
I’ll be supporting the Colts because they’re my favorite of the two.

Fortunately, I don’t have that problem because in my part of the world we don’t have Super Bowl
But I can understand your dilemma

My team didn’t make it to the playoffs.
I’ve been a Payton Manning fan since his college days so I’ll be pulling for the Colts…BUT…I also like Drew Brees so I won’t be terribly disappointed if the Saints win. What I’m hoping for most is a really good game!

There’s no superbowl on my Television, they don’t show it on any of my channels. And I’m not really into sports anyway, romantic movies are more my thing.

This is the first year no one we know is having a party–or at least if they are, they haven’t invited us! I’m NOT going to watch. I’ll tell you what, Sunday is a good day to shop, especially at cell phone stores (because they are always so busy). You will not have to wait to be helped, check out, anything!

If I watch it will only be for the commericals and halftime show. I will probably knit while the game is actually going.

Not a big sports fan, unless Roger Federer is involved. Here in Ireland our national sport is hurling or stick fighting as my friends call it. Grown men beating the crap out of each other with wood…nice.However I do admire the discipline of all sports men and women. I’m afraid the only real exercise I get these days is: pick up book, turn page, eat chiken wing, drink coke zero,fall asleep. I try to do this work out at least three times a week. I’m surprisingly dedicated:)

Well I wanted the Steelers but they didn’t even make it to the playoffs. Then I wanted the Jets because it’s my son-in-law’s team but alas they lost too. So now I am picking the Saints just because it’s New Orleans and they can stand something nice to happen. We are going to a superbowl party so still should be lots of fun and you have to love the commericals and hope to win a pool lol.

Sorry to say it, but this is the one weekend a year I question whether I’m a member of the human race. I’m not football girl. But, it’s a great time to eat out because restaurants are empty!

I am in the same boat with Emmanuelle; Super Bowl is shown in one of our tv-vchannel in the early hours of Monday morning. So no sports for me in the middle of the night. I´ll see the result on Monday morning my European time.

I do like football so I’ll be watching. I’m a Colts fan but if it’s a really good game and the Saints win I won’t be too disappointed. May the best team win. I won’t pass up the snacks either. I usually just eat chips & dip, nothing fancy. Hopefully we will have some cute commercials this year, I was disappointed in last years.

LOL! Mainly the snacks and commercials, but I’m also a fan of enjoying the experience with friends. It’s a fun group thing to do, watch the game, chat and eat! Hope you have a fun weekend!
