    Well seeing as I'm from the same town that Pats play in, I would LOVE to be watching. Unfortunately I will be in training. I hope it's a good one

    Jealous fans around the league make the Patriots the most hated team in football but, despite their constantly winning them, they always provide an entertaining, competitive Super Bowl, never a blow out.

    Very accurate. Last year was a wild ride. Same with both the giants SBs. Then the Butler pick against seattle. The battle of the greatest show on turf....each one very entertaining.

    It'll be the big story if a back-up quarterback can lead the Eagles to victory, but if the Patriots win another one, you can be sure that it is because they cheated.

    I don't know yet. The kneeling protest has about put me off pro ball unless the Cowboys are playing and they need a ticket if they want to be there. As usual.

    This will be Super Bowl 52 for me!

    I have never missed even one SB which was made famous by that great hero from Brooklyn, Vince Lombardi.

    Of course not. The 110+ million folks who tune in are the invisible ones that cast bogus ballots against Trump, cheered terrorism in New Jersey, and celebrated his cotillion on the Washington Mall.

    I haven't seen a single Superbowl and I remember thinking that calling a football game "The Superbowl" was pretty lame when they announced the first one.

    Wasn't there a statistic that the average professional football game has about 11 minutes of actual playing of the game and 2 hours of football players just standing around?

    That is correct - of course, this can readily be changed by altering the rules to make it more of a ground games with emphasis on football as in the old days. This is what I prefer but do not expect any change like this to take place soon.

    Porn and port are readily combined with Super Bowl entertainment by diligent multitaskers.

    I don't get many opportunities to agree with you about many things, Mr. Truth, but I will certainly agree with you about this! Too many of the 'rules changes' in the past few years have simply had the effect of d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g out the game into becoming an interminable BORE, complete with the seeming necessity to review play after play after play, etc., ad nauseam.....

    Suggestion -- if you haven't been following an NHL Hockey team lately, tune in and see real sport, demanding real athletic ability, real skill, considerable mentality, split-second timing, and constantly-changing strategy. I recommend it to anyone who is weary of watching any more of the NFL's commercial-stuffed, ghetto-brawl version of "hide the breadfruit"....

    Best sporting event of the year.

    I have noticed as people age they watch less sports.
    I always hear the old farts say, the rules change and it's not the same sport anymore.

    Yet these pro sports leagues seem to grow.
    My guess is they don't cater to the old folks and it doesn't affect them the old farts leave watching the game. As long as they keep bringing in the young.

    Wow! Have I got a game for you if you like real sport! Ice-hockey! I may be an 'old-fart' now, but ice-hockey is a game that anyone who loves to watch real sports performance in many aspects can enjoy! If you have an NHL Hockey team where you live, I suggest you tune in and watch a game. Be prepared for breathtaking FAST action, strategies that change almost every ten seconds, and abilities that would bring out the best of everyone ranging from a ballet dancer to a fighter pilot....

    Afterthought... watching a lot of NFL Football will actually turn a person into an "old fart' prematurely. So boring... so jammed with interruptions of every kind. And now the politics, too? To hell with it.

    I don't watch any sports, so that's a definite negative. I'm not even sure I would be able to watch it, having only antenna for TV and no paid streaming service subscriptions.

    The broadcast will be on NBC television which means you do not need cable or satellite access. Your local affiliate will have the game. So pop those spicy chicken wings into the oven, make yourself a pizza, and make a fabulous ice cream malt to celebrate the Big Game. :)

    LOL. Last time it was in Republican Houston. On top of all that, the team owners are all Republicans who benefited from tax payer financed stadiums - welfare for the rich in full display!
