I just wish they would get to the series finale sometime soon.

This one looks like a long runner. It feels a bit repetitive though

The cast shifts as often as a soap opera, it’s how they keep it fresh.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
The plot is always the same. Except it does change ever so slightly every year, making it even more difficult to follow for people who don’t normally watch.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Give it another 15,000 years, it’ll get more interesting

The foreshadowing of the effects of concussions on players seems like they’re setting up the finale, but it might take a while to get there.
teslasaur@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ironically enough, the excess of concussions nowadays are due to overly protective gear. It gives them a sence of protection that leads to more violent tackles, which then leads to more violent headshakes.
It’s like when they introduced gloves in boxing. Pre-gloves, it hurt like a motherfucker to hit someone in the face. You’d have just as big of a chance to break your hand as the opponents jaw. So they had to make the gloves ‘hurt’ again by making them thinner.

My folks’ fav characters got killed off a few episodes ago but for some reason everyone is still hyped for the finale
danc4498@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They took that one guy out with an ankle injury. Shoddy writing IMO.
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 months ago
remember that time they couldnt think of an opponent for the NFC for 4 years in a row so they just had the bills there to lose them all? THAT was shoddy writing

Where is /c/ihatesportsball when you need it, some pompous ass energy in this thread
ickplant@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Meh, I’d like sportsball better if they didn’t spend my taxpayer funds on stadium construction.
Velypso@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Lol, no you wouldnt.
Youd still find a way to be in the out group because it makes you feel special
kameecoding@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes that is something that’s not right and you are entirely justified in being upset about it.
However it’s kind of unrelated as here you are being kind of a douchenozzle and shitting on people for liking different things than what you like. Which is kind of ironic give how much supposedly a lemming should be different from others and liking other things, like Linux over “Normie” windows.

If we’re doing bread and circuses in a colosseum, at least make it interesting and turn some wild animals loose or something. Even the Romans did better than a bunch of sweaty guys tossing around a pig hide in between ads.

turn some wild animals loose
Best we can do is Puppy Bowl
FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There was a pretty sweet jet flyover if you’re into aviation…
I was rooting for the Pats, and if we’re gonna start shooting at the stormtroopers then Boston is a good place to start, again
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I came across something about it this morning, and thought, ‘Oh, is that today?’ Then I forgot about it again until this post.
I’ve never cared about sportsball, but I’ve learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn’t avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.
I’m old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y’all have fun.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I’ve been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.
Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn’t even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.
Culture is shattering.

remember back when michael jackson would drop a music video after the superbowl? those were the days

The most fun take I heard about this: “Why are they playing a football game at the Bad Bunny concert?”
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Best time to go grocery shopping, stores are empty
sploder@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Also a great day to fly. Last year I flew home on a flight with 20 people (including staff) Super Bowl night. I felt like a billionaire lmfao
Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 2 months ago
Maybe after it starts. The grocery was a zoo this morning with people getting ready for it.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I forgot yesterday that it was going on and went to Trader Joe’s after work. It was heavenly. Those stores are always so cramped.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 months ago
OH! This is why it was busier than usual this morning. I wondered why. I usually shop Sunday morning because people are in church, and the grocery store is empty.
miked@piefed.social 2 months ago
Just got back from CVS. Traffic is light and the store was empty
francois@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I can’t see the point of going to an empty store, parks are way better for a stroll
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
No crowds whatsoever in the way of what you need, little to no lines to wait in.

New England Hawks vs Sea Patriots.

I am from Seattle and I didn’t even know the Seahawks made it to ‘the big game’ until literally yesterday.
Sportsball!

bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 months ago
It’s also a very valid answer to a football fan. There’s two camps, Patriots fans and literally every other fanbase going for the Seahawks.
Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I used to watch a lot of football. It would consume so much of my time. I’m not sure if it’s getting older, having kids, manufactured drama, folks tying their identity to something they have no control over, or the ‘kneeling’ bullshit but it was kind of eye opening when a buddy of mine called me today to ask who I was rooting for and I genuinely had no idea what he was talking about. I don’t think he believed my when I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. I haven’t seen a single game all year and I don’t think I’ve missed anything. Happy that folks find enjoyment in it but I just don’t think it’s my bag anymore.
Serinus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was slightly interested in getting into it. Youtube had some 15 minute sample of Sunday Ticket. So I figured I’d catch the end of the Bears game. Why not.
13 of the 15 minutes were ads and the demo ran out. Iirc it was exorbitantly priced to continue, and you wouldn’t get everything.
scytale@piefed.zip 2 months ago
I only know because tv shows that normally air episodes on Sundays shift their schedules to earlier in the week. Also, NBA games which I actually follow are moved the day before and the ones are left start earlier in the day.

Everytime one of my frienda where’s a scarf of our local soccer club, I’m gonna tell them their cosplay looks fabulous.

Is there a /r/ihatesportsball equivalent for douchey people like you who think they are above liking sports?
Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
We don’t just think it. It’s 100% true and you are annoyed by us because you know it is too!
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Where’s a scarf?

Lol, I even have a CAE (Cambridge Advanced English) certificate. I swear XD
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 months ago
And again, two bands of brawlers beat themselves up over a ball, and they call this uncivilized bar fight “football” despite carrying the ball in the hands most of the time.
SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m making pizza, and we will be watching the Puppy Bowl.

You see how much money is being made on sports betting…. Hmmm. I wonder if that will have an effect on the outcome?
villainy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I got $500 on “will have an effect”
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Why should it. Betting is a licence to print money. It’s like owning a casino.
totesmygoat@piefed.ca 2 months ago
And the house never loses. What is better than making even more. Not like it has any actual consequences. What’s a Trump pardon worth nowadays?

People are so sad and edgy on this site.
Community, fun, drinks, going out of the house and doing something. That sounds awful.
timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Yeah. Like the post is fine but people really lay on in the comments and have all the condescending energy of any other asshole ripping on someone’s hobby.
Wander@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Yea agree.
I personally don’t even like the NFL because the games so bloody slow and commercialised. But it still seems like a good crack.
DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
I at least have a valid reason for being grumpy. Trying to get sleep was almost impossible with neighbors lighting off fireworks throughout the whole game, and even slightly before it too.
GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Is anyone watching the Super Bowl this year? The Olympics are going on!

Still adapting to EST. It’s inhumane and outrageous this shit goes down at 630pm every year. How do people work on Monday??

It was weird when American food franchises started advertising that they would show “the big game this weekend” in Canada and no one knew what they were talking about.
Then it started defaulting to that it must be that American game. Now I imagine most people hear about it from the internet before those signs go up.

they say something about football and then it’s a bad bunny concert, a massive ad show and some handegg things
SSETranquility@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m surprised I didn’t see anything like this yet… Years ago, I heard the superbowl was one of the most important events to… traffic children. It makes sense because a lot of people are traveling internationally to one city. No one is going to question big families traveling together or an uncle traveling with many young ladies. Hotels can be reserved by entire entities who can trade/sell people floor by floor. The cover is that it’s a party. It’s terrible and terribly easy…
