    ...because all day today and a lot of last week we've been hearing

    ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOOOOOOOOOTBAAAAAAALLLLLLLL???

    and not a darned thing about Phil. Totally advertizing driven. *shrug*

    That and football is more interesting than watching an animal get spooked by his own shadow.

    In the past 120 years, Phil has usually been wrong in his prediction.

    I won't be watching it. The only thing I know about football is that I like watching the tight ends ;-) instead I'm taking advantage of the fact that my gym is almost completely EMPTY! :-)

    Same reason people are every year. It gives them something to talk about. A temporary distraction from life. Something to bond over.

    And meanwhile, people like myself who hate football talk about it because we're happy the rest of you only have about a week left to talk about it until you start looking forward to the next major event to bond over with friends.

    Winter happens every year and sometimes Phil says it'll be longer.

    I'm an unwavering Seahawks fan who has been waiting a lifetime for a Super Bowl championship. *crosses fingers*

    I didn't even know it was on, but then I would never watch it even if I did.

    As for Phil........ who?
