As someone from Saint Louis I liked watching the Rams lose. As a rational human being, I hate watching the Patriots win.

Just got back after another two and a half hour drive, and to sum up yesterday: I feel so loving bad for the guy that hosted the party. Him and his wife always put in so much loving effort to hosting, it usually ends up being a more complex setup than your average American watch party. And of the 13 people that usually show up annually, about four people, including me, "understand" football and we usually try to put what's happening into context for everyone else, and keep folks "on target" for what is an extraordinarily long sportscast. There's always a decent helping of America-jokes, and we usually work through the slower-paced phases by attempting to explain what's "actually" going on, what context there may be for something, what the aim of a team may be in doing something, etc. There was barely anything we could do this game. One of the guests had even gone to great lengths to get a day off today, and drove almost twice the distance I did because the guy hosting had promised him that these parties are always so much fun, and really exciting even if you're not a football fan. This was his first Superbowl, and what usually had kept him from coming was the whole soldiering-through-the-night-for-a-sport-that-is-95%-interruption-of-play-breaks-and-commercials. Uh, welp. Most of the folks that come take part in this fake-betting-pool the host sets up a few weeks before the game to get people to pick a team and get a little emotionally invested. We generally have a pretty even split between both teams, which makes for some fun banter and shittalking. I'm not emotionally invested at all usually because I pretty much stick to college ball. I generally like the Ravens, Saints and Eagles, so it was fairly easy this year to root against the Pats, but outside of that, I'm usually more excited for a good game. This year, literally the entirety of the folks attending had picked the Rams, with the exception of one single dude. And this is a dude that doesn't know poo poo about poo poo and has this really transparent schtick of keeping his investment into teams "guarded" until the Superbowl is locked in, at which point he claims to always have rooted for whoever is favored to win. He also has a few insufferable qualities that usually are outweighed by him being an okay dude, but in situations like this, they're amplified. So we've dug into the massive fuckton of advertisers and the pregame program our host had set up for us, we're done laughing about the German pregame show on TV, we've kicked off some mild shittalking with the only Pats fan in the room (being comfortable with his team quite possibly winning), and the game kicks off. And one of the very first things we're treated to is an interception. Mother of creation, we were stoked. Even the guy that basically drove across the entire country was amped up as all hell, this was shaping up to be exactly what he'd been told. A fun evening with riveting sportsball and much hilarity had by everyone. And then that game followed. Me and two other "football-understanders" tried as hard as we possibly loving could to frame what was happening, and go "no, you see, it's not really a poo poo game, there's actually a lot happening beneath the surface, the Rams defense is holding up pretty well, stalling the Pats, etc. etc. etc.", but we ran out of gas so drat hard. There was absolutely nothing we could say. All three of us were in full on "lol, I have no idea what the gently caress is going on, what even is the Rams gameplan, what the gently caress was that ref call, why would the Pats run that ball, how have there been zero complete passes longer than like five loving yards, oh they're punting again already lol". The german commentator team was as lost as we were. And then that half-time show. Jesus Christ. I mean, we weren't expecting a lot, but Jesus Christ. Adding to the whole clusterfuck throughout the evening was our single fake-Pats fan constantly doing this over-the-top cheering for absolutely everything, even poo poo he didn't understand. It got old so goddamn fast. Halfway through the third quarter, we salvaged as much as we could by just launching into a full on roast of the entirety of both teams, football in general, and America. Anything to keep folks entertained, and I think we did as well as we could. But boy howdy, what a disappointment. I felt pretty bad for the guy that racked up like 900km of driving for this, but I felt worse for the guy hosting and his wife. They'd started prepping on loving Tuesday. So yeah...one dude thoroughly turned off of football forever, and a bunch of Germans that actually stopped drinking beer during a sports event.

hahahaha, I'm sorry Duzzy. My wife kept asking me why they were running the ball and why it was the game was so low scoring, "Defenses are locked in and they are trying to tire out each other's defenses since they're playing so well right now." So boring for 90% of the audience. I mean it was good in that sense it was a very defensive and layered game but it was a very boring game outside a few intense moments. The AFC championship really felt like the Super Bowl to me this year.

The people I was watching it with have a 20 something French woman staying with them as an intern and she was quite confused by the (non) events of this game. Puppy Bowl was much more entertaining and beloved by all.

I don't like that at all. MLB is seriously considering adding the DH to the NL, though.

Now that Colon went long, there's not much reason to put it off anymore. Apparently the Player's Assoc has been pushing for it for decades, it's the owner side that's resisting.

They have mics on a lot of the players and coaches and it is the best thing ever. "Tell him to catch it this time!" "That's a terrible spot, ref!" (Guy is clearly a yard short.)

The AAF app lets you stream the games. The Atlanta/Orlando game has been pretty good so far. They just ended the first half, Orlando up 22-6.

Smart play. It's like winning the lottery: don't take it the lump sum, spread it out over the next quarter century.
