    Then again, I used to work in advertising, so I like to watch the commercials! Laughing

    Reesie, I am with you.  Will watch the superbowl, but without the Eagles I don't have much interest.  And the team who shall remain nameless just makes it even worse.  But DH is a big sports fan, so he will definitely be tuned in.  However when it's not sports it's MSNBC for him.  OMG, I have seen so much of Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum that I am going to puke.  Give me the Twilight Zone!  LOL

    Hey Paulla66, I totally agree with you! I'd rather watch ANYTHING else before watching the Super Bowl.  I don't have cable TV so it's Netflix on that day.  Reesie I am a big SciFi fan but I do agree that those "marathons" are really boring no matter what show it is.  Lumpynme-Here's a cake for you, I made it myself! LOL,  Kitty

    I'm with you, madpeacock, as I sit through the many $uper Bowl Commercial$ for the two or three that are hilarious and brilliant.  Do want to see Madonna's halftime show.  If the score is close I like to watch the last 5 minutes (read: half hour!) of the 4th quarter.  As far as who to root for, I like to go with the better looking QBs, so let's see...

                         

    Round One - Game Face:  Nobody really looks good with an adrenalin-distorted game face, and these guys are no exception.  They look equally fierce, but the scale tips for Brady who, unlike Manning, removed his mouthguard for this photo op to reveal his Hollywood-white perfect teeth.

                              

    Round Two - Casual Looks:  At first glance, it's tempting to go for Brady again, but look close...he's wearing a collared polo shirt under that zip-neck pullover.  Who does that? He's tring to hard to look trendy.   Manning is in an outfit from the consignment shop, that came from a dead man's closet, but he does Bryl Creme his hair to the corresponding decade of the suit.  Hmm, spray tan vs. natural coloration that looks like blushing?  Chin cleft centrally located vs. on the bottom?  I give this one to Manning.  His dark brows and eyes make for a sexier gaze too.

                             

    Round Three - Does he do any chores?   Eli looks like he just lays around and lets his abs go in the off-season, probably a couch potato who doesn't lift a finger.  Brady stays toned while helping out around the house.  Oh wait, that iron is not even plugged in!  The only way he will touch a household appliance is if you pay a few friends to show up and say they are shooting a photo spread for US Weekly.   This category really ends in a draw.

    LET'S GO TO THE TIE-BREAKER ... Whose oversized Bobble Head would least scare a child?

                               

    Manning looks like cookie dough.  Brady looks like a Mr. Potato Head with a closed-head injury.  

    In a close race, it's Manning!  Go Giants!

    Hi Ladies,

    My husband will definately be watching the game, but not as enthusiastically as if the Bears hadn't fallen apart!!!  Hopefully I will come home from the hospital before the game.  The best part about being medicated is that if he wants me to watch the game with him, I can do it and it will be painlessLaughing

    Paula, my husband never watches sports either. He used to play a bunch in HS and college, but has no interest in watching and zero interest in baseball or football. Had he been the type to watch sports on TV it would probably have been a deal breaker for me.

    You're welcome cajmi.  I've never been one to bog down a pre-game commentary with boring stuff like coaching strategy, seasonal records or career stats.

    Lumpynme,  Happy Birthday and many more!

    E-your analysis is very similar to what we are going to be subjected to all week but I am a BIG NFL fan, just not the 2 teams playing.  However, in my office football pool @ the start of play-offs I drew the Patriots as my team SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Go Patriots (and no matter what your analysis says-Brady is MUCH better looking than the fake Manning brother!)

    I'm not a Patriots fan either, but I have to agree with that.  Tom is so much cuter than Eli.  I don't even think it's close.  Now if you put Eli against Peyton....

    And it pains me to say it, but Go Pats !

    We have a superbowl pool at work with the digits on the score.  Don't know what numbers I have yet.

    Hello, 

    love the new pic at top of page, that is alot like how I feel lately.

    Love the football talk. I too go for the best personalities and looks rather than statistics. I use to watch a lot of football while my DS was living here, He was outraged that I forgot the playoff game was on. Since I am in NE have to go with the Pats. I might go to someone else's house to watch more fun than alone even though the dog gets excited when there is lots of cheering.

    I will be in sewing heaven Sunday.  My local guild does a superbowl Sunday quilt marathon, so thats where this chic will be.  Not a game will be seen or heard as the machines would drowned them out anyway, lol!  The gamewatchers (aka my bros n sissies) will be cheering, so they will be making up for me, thats cool!

    Well all I have had it for the day!  If I have to look over one more work instruction, Im gonna scream!  Looks like this chic is going to make her audit last alot longer then the 1/2 hour it takes to do!  Just for giggles I may go audit the hubby just to taunt him, lol!  We work for the same company so its fun when I can do stuff like that to him.  Oh rats I just looked at the schedule and his area isnt due until next month.  Hmmmm he doesnt know that part though, lol!

    Have a great afternoon all!

    OK we are not avid sports fans on TV.  I don't even know who is playing in the superbowl.  Although we always go some friends house for it.  The girls we stay in the kitch and catch up and watch half time and then usually head home early.

    Madpeacock....I would love to come over for your party!  I always enjoy the game and commercials of course.  I just love the festivities!  I am not happy with the teams playing this year...boring rerun.  I am a die hard Denver Bronco fan...but am originally from San Francisco.  Nothing worked out there so really I could care less about this game.  But the fun...that would be so nice!  DH and I will just watch it alone.  Oh...your daughter sounds wonderful and your bond is perfect.  Glad you have her!

    I have been sick for days and finally today am up and around.  I had a flu bug apparently...diarrhea and vomiting and total exhaustion.  I barely remember the weekend.  Hubby did bring me canned Chicken Noodle soup and crackers.  I drank lots of water so that is good, but I was so wiped out.  I am glad to have my energy back finally.

     I hope everyone here is going great.  Thinking of you all...always!  :)

    There's another thought. The price of Super Bowl advertising is probably too high for political ads, so there's a break right there! I don't think the Georgia primary is until March (ish) so we really haven't been bombarded yet.

    Paula - I am with you - no interest in watching the Super Bowl.  Thank goodness DH does not watch either.  I would rather be sewing with you and the other gals.  Chances are I will be in my sewing room working on my quilt.

    Must be a Paula thing, because that is my name, zumba girl is just what I LOVE :O) We don't watch sports here either, and if we even remember that the super bowl is on, or happen to be channel surfing, we do think the commercials are funny, but , then again we can just google, and watch the commercials, without suffering through the long game to see them. LOL

    i guess i'm the only one here who loves sports, especially football, and i live alone!  i'm not absolutely thrilled about the super bowl, but i will definitely watch it.  i watch them all, college and professional.  i'm just an old geek!  HOWEVER, if i had a choice between watching the game and sewing with you guys, i'd be there!  i'm a needlepointer.

    Hmm, interesting....I know many women who go gaga at football and watch it like religion. But not any other sport!! Why not?? I LOVE watching golf, you get the highlights of each hole without the boring up and down bits of football. Even hockey is more action!! And baseball!! Well! We all understand the rules of baseball, so that makes it so easy to watch. I listened to the world series on the radio when I was driving a truck and the Blue Jays won over Atlanta. I was actually in a small town in Georgia at the time. Only myself and my co-driver were for Canada. We stayed pretty quiet as we won..!!

    Janis, I have been VERY, VERY sick too!!! Even ended up in the ER due to the fluid loss weakness with the vomiting and diarrhea. They put in IV fluids and meds and did x-rays. Had me come back the next day for ultrasound as I also had flank pain. More IV fluids and meds and they proceeded with a CT scan. Was hoping I wasn't going to find out I was now stage iv while I lay there in a semi-daze. Came back okay, thank God! I am JUST this second starting to feel better. It's been 4 bad days, proceeded by about a week of not feeling great.

    I have my thyroid surgery in a week so I have to rebuild my resources. Even had to let them take blood from my LE side!!!! Getting an IV in 2 days in a row when I was so dehydrated was pitiful!! I had over a dozen attempts. They finally opened a vein in my wrist and it spewed all over my boots on the floor. And yes, I do bleed red.

    DH and I are not sports fans. We don't even know who is playing. We worked on cruise ships for 9 years (back in the day) and got totally out of the sports loop. Hard to believe than January is basically over. Time is flying by in 2012.

    Barbe......I am really sorry to hear you got that sick.  How scary!  I am so glad you are over that big scare.  You have had so much going on!  I will be thinking of you thyroid surgery day.  For me that was really easy and very little discomfort at all.  Wishing the very same for you!

    Barbe,  That sounds like a terrible case of the flu'.  Glad you're feeling better.

    cajmi,  Good Luck with the TRAM surgery.  Let us know how it goes.

    YaYa5,   I wouldn't be too concerned about your football viewing unless you down more than two brewskis per game, have a bowl of Corn Nuts on your stomach, and are watching in your underwear.  Then, it would obviously be a case of the transmigrated soul of a 49-year-old man reborn into your body.  It's more commonplace than you might think.

    YaYa my sissies are superbowl watchers as well.  My older sissy will watch more then just the superbowl, she watches all season long.  My other sissy is more a NASCAR junkie.  I only go for the food, lol.  But thankfully my supersew sunday will have tons of munchies there.
