Ignoring the Super Bowl

Anonus · 2018-02-04 21:45:23

For four years running I made a thread for every Super Bowl. I started with XLVIII because my hometown Denver Broncos made the Big Game for the first time since 1999. But I quit. Instead let's have a thread about ignoring it.

ok

Tatterhood · 2018-02-04 21:46:57

the magic pro tour was obviously the more important competitive event this weekend anyway

Klinotaxis · 2018-02-04 21:48:29

ignoring the what??? am i right folks

Obā-san · 2018-02-04 21:54:07

The Patriots vs. Lantern Control

Klinotaxis · 2018-02-04 21:55:23

actually what even is the other team

oh the patriots and the eagles...

wow i have divided loyalties or whatever

Anonus · 2018-02-04 22:00:30

I admit I am a bit sad about ignoring this game because I love NBC, despite its Comcast ownership and having evil (David Sarnoff) in its genes

Obā-san · 2018-02-04 22:26:14

The Eagles vs. 5C Humans

Crystal · 2018-02-04 22:52:20

Quack.

Imipolex G · 2018-02-04 23:25:40

Heinzes · 2018-02-04 23:57:17

Heinzes · 2018-02-05 00:00:01

Now Eagles 9 - 3 Patriots

Imipolex G · 2018-02-05 00:05:09

you are missing the point of this thread imo

Heinzes · 2018-02-05 00:14:57

No, I'm pretty sure I got it...

Klinotaxis · 2018-02-05 00:19:01

isn't it still the patriots uh... turn... so it's not a fair score comparison

spoiler alert the eagles get the kill using Tezzeret's ult

Salix Babylonika · 2018-02-05 00:35:42

I hope the Eagles win cuz my late grandfather was a huge fan of theirs.

Heinzes · 2018-02-05 00:47:32

Eagles 15 - 6 Patriots

Obā-san · 2018-02-05 00:49:08

but the patriots have stabilized, having successfully cast an Ensnaring Bridge

Obā-san · 2018-02-05 04:02:21

the real loser was me today at work, dealing with football idiots

Tatterhood · 2018-02-05 04:03:12

The real loser was me spending the day chilling and watching magic and then discovering at 10:30 that I have a giant pile of marking that's supposed to be done by midnight.

Imipolex G · 2018-02-05 04:31:57

I don't care, dammit

I actually managed to get this done just in time, meaning that I did more work in the last hour and a half then I'd done all weekend up to then.

The winner was @buttercrispy and me using the LA bus system while the super bowl was going on, because there was so little traffic

Anonus · 2018-02-05 05:38:17

buses!

Calica · 2018-02-05 05:43:09

We thought she wasn't going to be able to make the train but the bus was so dang fast because almost no traffic

I used to watch for the commercials, but then advertisers stopped making them entertaining enough in aggregate to be worth the time investment.

It was a glorious thing they had going, back in the day. You had a massive audience for the sporting event, and a massive audience specifically for the advertisements, and the union of those sets was almost the entirety of the United States population. It's like if you have a city where half the population commutes to work on one freeway, and that freeway is somehow so awesome to drive on that other people went out of their way to drive on the same freeway, in rush hour, for fun. With roads that's called induced demand and it's a bad thing because roads have limited capacity, but with TV advertising there's no downside. And they took the induced audience for granted, slacked off with the entertainment value, and blew it all.

I did hear there was a Coke commercial with lesbians and an enby. I saw it on YouTube and it wasn't blatantly obvious.
