This one from Long and Short Reviews made me laugh, simply because this is a question that pops up in our house every year.
Because I live in the UK, the Super Bowl is something that happens in the middle of the night and gets recorded. Nothing surprising there - I got into NFL while writing "The Hand He Dealt" and still like watching it from time to time, so it makes sense that I would record the Super Bowl.
Will I watch it, though? That's the question.
The thing with NFL is there are a lot of breaks, which means the Super Bowl tends to run for hours. I dare say this is fine when you're having a Super Bowl party with your friends and are happily eating and drinking your way through it, but it's less fun watching a seven-hour game when it's just me on an average evening after work. My husband is an NBA man and has no real interest in American football, so I wouldn't even have him for company.
So what tends to happen is I record it, I find out who won the following day, and then it sits in my Sky box for a while before I give up and just delete the thing.
So what does everyone else think?
Wait... it's a seven hour game? 🫠
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, George. They start coverage at noon, and the game doesn't even start until 6:30. Then you have the half time show and the commercials. Even if the game runs 3.5 to 4 hours, you are in that chair for a long time.
DeleteWhat Cheryl said :) It goes for a looong time.
DeleteThat makes total sense. I didn’t even know the game lasted that long.
ReplyDeleteIf I knew anyone over here who would want to make a party out of it I'd be up for it, but I never fancy sitting for that long of an evening.
DeleteI might watch bits and pieces of it, but if I ever recorded it, the game would never get watched.

Yup - I have it set to record but I doubt I'll watch it.
DeleteI watch it purely for the food and party. Not surprised that doesn't happen across the pond!
ReplyDeleteIf it did, I'd love it!
DeleteIt's a male bonding ritual, and naturally involved the exchange of huge amounts of money, but it leaves this female cold.
ReplyDeleteTrue - I don't bet on it either.
