Tomorrow's the big game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. Fans are excited because it promises to be a competitive game between two evenly matched teams. People who aren't fans will watch just for the commercials and the halftime entertainment provided by the Black Eyed Peas.

So, are you gonna watch?

And if you are, who do you think will win?

Yes, but the halftime show only. I could care less about the game.

No, I've got much better things to do with my time.

I'm watching for the commercials. And an excuse to drink lots of beer.

Same here, although I usually enjoy the halftime show too. And it's also an excuse to make a lot of guacamole too. Yum.

We're doing anti-Super Bowl things, like playing video games and eating Asian food.

I don't have cable at the moment so I guess I'm missing out on this one.

I'm a Bears fan, so I'm bummed they didn't make it... but I always watch anyways. If nothing else for hilarious commercials and because I get to make yummy awesome football food.

We throw a huge party every year. Too bad the teams playing suck.

I'm going to be sleeping all day and then going to work tonight, so no, I don't think I will be watching.

I'd love to watch the game today (no team loyalty, just like watching) but I'll be at work for the WHOLE thing. I'll miss the commercials and the half-time show. Bummed out.

If I wanted to watch men playing with balls, I'd watch gay porn.

There needed to be a choice that one watches just for the commercials. I don't really like football but the commercials are always great. The guys always watch it here though so I'm doomed even if I didn't like the commercials. Not knowing a damn thing about football I like the Packers better but I think the Steelers will win.

I don't have a way to, and since I don't have interest past commercials, I'll probably be cleaning.

I'll be working. But dammit my boss is a Steelers fan and I know she'll be sneaking off to watch it and not help us when we need it.

I don't care, honestly. Last year's Superbowl was the only one I've ever watched and that's because the Saints were in it. I've got homework and other stuff to take care of today that's more important.

My Man is rooting for the Steelers, he has a lifelong hatred of the Packers, as he is a Bears fan.

I don't really understand sports or the loyalty to teams.

I will most likely watch, mostly for the commercials.

I did get into the Bears Packers game a few weeks ago, because I wanted the Bears to win because it would make My Man happy. The Bears got their asses handed to them without any lube. Sad.

The closet thing to the Superbowl I'm getting to is maybe watching the puppy bowel on animal plant and even then for the kitty half time show.

Couldn't care less who wins, after that Bears v. Packers game, I think it's all about as real as pro wrestling. I'm watching for the commercials.

I'm heading to bed within the next half hour and then working tonight.
We're apparently having a Super Bowl party...after the game ends...

I wouldn't be watch it if I didn't have to work though either.

Puppy Bowl, because Kitty Half Time is my time.

I have been mostly unaware of the Super Bowl, I see stuff on it more and more when I'm on the internet, that is the only way I know it is coming. My family, nor my partner gets into sports. Our TV doesn't give us channels, it's mostly for video games. I am more aware of the event this year because our neighbor surprised us and is having a huge party right now. Their guests' cars are filling our road, they're really loud, and they are bringing beer I avoid.

I have heard of this Puppy Bowl that jfree mentioned. If I can find it later on the interwebs, I will watch it. Haha, most of my guy friends aren't even dog people and they'd like to watch the Puppy Bowl over football any day! Basement nerds, hehe.

I watched my team win tonight and I was happy!

Now if only the Ottawa Senators could win the Stanley Cup, I'd be one spoiled girl.

Man, I can't believe a game between two teams I don't care about was more entertaining than the commercials or the halftime show. Did anybody else think Fergie was really off tonight?

Thanks for all the comments. I thought the game was entertaining. Too bad the halftime show wasn't. And the commercials were just ok.

I don't know. The Peas just always sound like they are yelling to me. Not my thing. I liked the light up people during the half time show.

It seems like the band is always "off." Paul McCartney was off key last year, and the Who, UG, they sucked a few years ago at half time.

Yeah, the commercials were not really anything amazing.

Some of them tried too hard. "Dinosaurs, and aliens, and....." Too much. ETrade got a new baby. It was inevitable. They were out of footage of the old baby. He's probably in High School right now.
