The #1 reason you watch the Super Bowl?

1. For the game, baby!
2. For the commercials
3. For the party we're having / attending
4. For betting purposes..... prop bets, box pools........
5. I only watch if my favorite team or player is in the game
6. I don't watch
7. I watch in hopes that I team or player I hate loses
8. Other?

I basically watch for betting purposes. If the Eagles were in it, I would watch for them. But this year I am hoping for a Ravens loss so Ray Lewis will have his dream crushed.. The guy was involved in a murder, bought his way out of it basically, and people still idolize him. I don't get it. I don't really watch it for the commercials, but some of them are pretty good.

Mostly though, I watch for betting purposes.

My brother in law has 4 grandsons, and he bought all of them Ray Lewis jerseys just this week and is going to give them to them tomorrow before the game. Why not jerseys from the non murder affiliated players?

Go Niner's!

    Haha I am with you OP... if only the Eagles were in it... or the Colts... or Peyton Manning...
  • For the nostalgia of home (USA) and of course the nibbles and drinks! It's not really fun to watch from abroad as the commentary is so rubbish.

    I have nothing else to do and am too lazy to think of something and the TV is already on and I am in the room. After all that I will watch it and sort of enjoy it...no snacks prepared though since I wasn't planning on it. That is sort of making me sad...to miss the snacks..

    #8 - Going out and drinking/eating lots - which is kind of #3, but it did not specifically mention food and drink.

    Commercials haven't been watchable in years, and the game hasn't been watchable since '11, '98 and '97. Also '67 and '68, but I was not born.
  • watch the 49 ers get the rings !!!!!

    Yup - born and raised in the Bay Area, so it will because the 49ers are playing. Also, I'm a BIG Patrick Willis fan.
