It's actually pretty Roman if you asked me.
God, I hate the Super Bowl. The two-week media circus leading up to the game. (Just shut up and play already, dammit!)
The match where it's so expensive to get in that the stands are packed with wanker politicians, businessmen, and deal-makers .... many of whom could give a rat's ass about the two teams playing ... while all the die hard fans can't as easily attend (can't access tickets, can't afford tickets, and/or can't afford to travel). (Btw, I hate this about the neutral site CL final as well.)
It's played in some warm weather site at random (this is American football, a winter sport,
right??) so it's nice and cushy and oh-so-appropriately "fair weather" for all the fair weather fans.
It's dominated by TV commercial blitzes and flabby half-time performance shows that made Bart Simpson utter in legend, "Where's the snipers?!?!"
And the match is usually a poor facsimile of sport, often lopsided, often dwarfed by all the garbage that surrounds it.
It's basically amateur night for football fans. The sport sells its soul to Carrot Top to do lame commercials and entertain all those who really don't like the sport.
Oh, I will still watch it though...I have to pull for my hometown Bears, even if I don't believe the odds are in their favor.
But if this is the
Super Bowl, give me the
Bat Bowl instead, please.
