How will you be watching the Super Bowl?

[brdmaverick]

Ok, this is not so much for the lucky ones (and rich ones) who are going to the Super Bowl.

This if for the others who will be watching outside of the stadium.

When the Pats are in the Super Bowl, do you still host a party or would you prefer to be like me and actually prefer to not have many people around?

Do you have a lucky chair or specific spot you need to sit in? is there a certain friend or family member who is absolutely not invited (due to a superstitious jinx of some sort).

For me, my family (parents, 2 bros, 1 sis) and my wife's family (parents, 1 sis) come over but to be honest I'd prefer it just be me and my younger brother. You see, my brother and I share the same passion and we never actually sit down during the games. We each have our own specific football that we hold during the games as we pace, jump up and down, or go into a tirade at the refs. Adding mroe people to the scene only adds unwanted commotion. Leave it to my mother-in-law to ask about the QB's off field life during a big fourth down ("Is he married? Does he have any kids?). Oh, and my wife has another brother who is just not invited. He's one of those annoying guys who actually is a big Pats fan, but pretends to take such joy when things don't go their way ("ha, he can't tackle anyone", "ha ha, there is no way they win this game", "they suck. good thing the bruins are looking better") Things that just fester away at me.

I'll have my authentic Teddy Bruschi shirt on. I've thought about updating to a Gronk or Edelman jersey, but Bruschi jerseys will never go out of style (similar to Larry Bird jerserys).

[New England Pride]

No party or anything like that. Watching with my two brothers and my good friend like its any other game. Only this time, I'll be slapping the couch cushions screaming "RESPOND LIKE CHAMPIONS!"

 

[makoute]

In my bedroom, streaming my laptop to my tv. By myself, or probably my gf will watch it with me.

 

[Froob]

Might check it out, that is if the deflate gate thing is wrapped up. Are they going show it on NBCSN I assume? While the deflategate live investigation is shown on NBC?

I have a tough time watching any patriots games with others but when it comes to the playoffs, I have to be on my own. I'm a fairly laid back guy but get pretty worked up watching NE. Plus I like to rewind constantly and watch replays in slow motion and then fast forward to catch up to live action.
My wife can't stand it but she's accepting.

Thanking God that my sister married a rich guy who just so happens to be a Pats fan. Got the text earlier today asking if I wanted to go and what flight I wanted them to book for me!!!!

 

[Big-T]

Staying up until silly o'clock the following morning watching, sat on the couch keeping comfortable (and warm).

 

[chasa]

if the nfl does any sort of punishment to the pats, via dvr with no commericials.

 

[SalemPats]

Since the Patriots are in the SB will watch it alone. Non-Pats SBs I usually have a huge party

 

[JackBauer]

Several beers deep, undoubtedly.

 

[Brewskies]

In the comfort of my family room with my dog by myself or maybe my wife will join me to watch the advertising and half time show. I don't enjoy groups or parties because I want to stay focused on the game and every play.

 

[dales804]

Going out with friends. Can't wait.

 

[Skree]

Alone! Everytime people come over to watch the Pats - they lose - regular season, post-season - makes no difference.

 

[Mike the Brit]

In a state of extreme nervous tension!

(Late at night, on Channel 4 in the UK, wearing my Bruschi jersey, in the company of my beloved daughter, who is now old enough not to be shocked at my childish behaviour.)

 

[Onedaful]

Entire family is coming to my house, a bunch of crazy italian pat fans. Some friends will come over for the party. Kinda wish I was going to Glendale though.

I'm sorry you have to take one for the team, but have you thought of putting up a giant fence around your house until the superbowl is over? Please don't let anyone into that house!!
