What's not to like? Big sweaty guys in tight pants beating the tar out of each other.......lots of excitement......I don't care who wins so there's no disappointment......a spectacular half-time show......people having a good time.

It beats the heck out of watching Olympic curling.

OK, I take it back about the half-time show. I would have rather watched Curling. It would have been less painful. I've yet to see a Curler repeatedly grab his or her crotch while screeching about nothing.

I miss the great shows of the past.
 
The game was fairly entertaining....especially both teams Defense. As expected, the commercials were a waste of time and electricity. The Half Time show will probably be ranked among the worst....IMO.
 
Not interested. I watched it when Seattle was in the Super Bowl because my company's headquarters was there. I used to watch the halftime shows but I'm not interested this year. I would watch it for the commercials but I already saw the Jennifer Coolidge preview. She is an acquired tasted but IMO hilarious. She was great in The White Lotus.

 
Watched it live from Australia,a bit confused when announced after the game,World champions!..what other countries play it?

I don't know...that Doritos commercial was pretty funny.
 
I watched the highlights on YouTube. There were 2 very important plays that should have been reviewed but weren't. The grabbing the face mask by the rams offensive deep back, and the holding penalty by the rams... pass interference/holding of goal line pass. Does the super bowl not allow reviews? They would have been ruled as penalties! Anyway, it was tit-for-tat and a good solid football game. I thought the Rams would win. It was close game. I am aware of the negatives of the big game and the industries involved. The amount of money devoted to that game of conquest is staggering and could be used in more humane ways, but the super bowl is deeply embedded into a significant part of American and world culture now. Quite a spectacle. :)

Someone mentioned the crazy amount of chicken wings sold for the game. Of course beer went through the roof also. Misa was working all day at Dollar General. Between Valentines Day and the super bowl it was jammed. She said one old guy came in and said he had to drive 30 miles from a fairly large town because they were all out of Doritos there! I wonder how many Doritos chips were eaten today? Ha! :)

I didn’t watch the game. My wife doesn’t like football and for that reason I gave up professional
football. I watch college football if it doesn’t interfere with something she plans to watch.

My wife likes a show entitled "Call the Midwife." I don't. So she watches it and I don't. I like watching old war movies. She doesn't. So I watch and she doesn't. What's so hard about that?
