When's the last time you didn't feel "invested" in a SB?

alvinnf · Feb 3, 2016

Arizona vs Pitt for me. However, once the game started it got pretty interesting. This one holds the same "who cares vibe".

PatsDeb · Feb 3, 2016

Hmmm, probably the last time the Pats weren't in it...

Not caring about a game because the only team you like isn't in it doesn't make you a sore loser

I don't feel very invested in this one. The main reason I root against manning is because he is typically one of the guys in the way of my team going to the SB. Outside of that I don't hate manning like most pats fans. I don't hate cam either. I just hope for a good game and whoever wins wins. I have to admit I've barely thought about the SB since the pats lost to the broncos tho. I don't think I've clicked on one single article or watched one single video or tv program concerning it.

Please, change your avatar. "Metric," whatever that refers to, means nothing to us. Your destiny is below:

I'm all in on this SB. I'll be cheering for Manning to finish his career with only one SB win. Nothing personal...

Oh no -- lightweight synth-pop has been recycled from the '80s!

Well, I guess it was inevitable ...

If by invested one means emotionally, then the only time I am invested is when the Patriots are in the Super Bowl.

I suppose one of the silver linings to not having a rooting interest is that a person can relax and enjoy the game, but this does not always happen to me.

My wife and I were watching SB48 with my sister and law and her boyfriend and after the first quarter they had fallen asleep because the game was so lopsided. However, my wife and I were positively ecstatic watching the Broncos look like amateurs on professional sports biggest stage. It was, for us, the perfect consolation.

I hope this scenario unfolds in a similar manner in a few days in Santa Clara

Some sports fans have objections to watching sporting events where there are questions about how honest the competition is.

If the NFL* didn't put obstacles in the Pats' way, there is a good chance that the Pats are in the Superbowl.

At the very least the AFCCG is likely in Foxboro.

Yeah, I've actually considered not watching the game for similar reasons myself. This entire calendar year has been a complete and utter travesty for Patriots fans aside from hoisting the Lombardi in February 2015.

A Band, eh? Based on this Pic...

I'd maybe go with Emily Haines and The BrainEaters.

But let me check'm out...

I enjoyed the taste I just listened to...

Anything in particular you'd recommend?

A Defiant Goose · Feb 4, 2016

My favorite ones from them are empty and satellite mind. Starts to lull you into relaxation then it kicks you rit in the face. Black Sheep is good too, and Live It Out. Im serious, give it a listen. Havent gotten tired of it yet. Theyre no Pink Floyd, ill give you that, but I can play their **** on repeat and never get tired of it
