If you are having SB guests, passing out this memo is strongly encouraged

I hear all of you who can't stand being around loud crowds of people who wouldn't know Tom Brady from Marsha Brady. It is so frustrating. I just want to enjoy the last football game of the season, no matter who is playing and it is difficult enough to get into the game with the longer commercials, halftime, all of the nonsensical build up, etc. To have a room full of fools talking about their upcoming whatevers just annoys the piss out of me.

My aunt offered to have us over for the game on Sunday...the same home where Super Bowl 42 was viewed. I don't mind the people who are usually there, most watch the game and are quiet during the play. There are a few with a good, solid understanding of football so there is good discussion. We watched Super Bowls 31, 38, 39 together (I was in college for 36). Some of us actually watched Super Bowl 20 together.

Out of principle, though, I had to decline. Too much poor mojo in that house. Instead, my wife and I are staying home. She knows what she is in for. We've been together since 1999. She's seen it all. She'll watch enough to know what is going on and will even ask if it is ok to talk.

The conundrum for me is our son's bedtime is 7:15PM. He is entrenched in this routine so I can't skip it and leave it to my wife. This is going to really interfere with my watching the game...

Unfortunately I live with the same roommates as I did in '07. Unfortunately, like in '07, we will be having a Super Bowl party again. And it's unfortunate for anyone who tries to sit in my seat when I get up to get a beer/smoke a cigarette.

EDIT: It should be noted that my roommates are both Giants fans.

Stay away from parties and people who drink too much during the "game"..

Big decision stay home with my wife, a huge fan, or go to an uncle's house and watch it there.. either location provides minimal distraction, and minimal stupid conversation.

I have a family room and a living room in my house. After SB42, I switched the rooms. The old family room (where the TV used to be) had to much bad joo-joo in it. The new family room has seen nothing but football joy. I just hope the Pats win or I'll need to buy a different house because I'm out of rooms after this.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

I have decided to watch this one alone. Every party I was invited to had "couples" and I really don't want to get punched by one of my friends for a snide comment made under duress. Nope. I'm gonna hunker down with 18 coors lights (a beer one can nervously drink and not get pigeon-toed drunk) and be on here. I much prefer the company of this place.

Even a girly mon beer like coors lite will bast you before 18

May I suggest you set up a thread jays52 Drunk Blogs the SB?
Although I intend to avoid the Debbie Downer game thread here I would actually pay to read your drunk blocking (annotated by beer #) of the SB on my laptop. Wicked Pissah!

Super Bowl live blog?

Actually, yeah...I think that would be feasible..

Alright. I'm in. I'll do it!

You've just articulated what would be my "Doomsday Scenario" as far as Patriots SB viewing experiences go.

I can't imagine how you can get through it, but will be sending positive thoughts your way on Sunday. Good news is if the Pats win they'll wish they watched the game somewhere else.

Time to man up, go hetero and get new roommates. It's not too late!

This is a kickass thread!!!

 

[SoonerPatriot]

I watch Patriots Super Bowls the way they are meant to be watched -- ALONE and in my sports bunker. I don't even watch the playoff games in public or in mixed company.

*I don't know any Pats fans in my area.

 

[Off The Grid]

I have absolutely no problem with any fan who roots for the Giants on Sunday.

...Just as long as they vacate New England by SunDown.

 

[NSPF]

Well, it's good to see that everyone here "enjoys" watching the Patriots as much as I do!

Wait....what are the Game-Day threads then if not drunk blogging?

 

[PatsSox363804]

Everyone down here is a Manning fan so Superbowl 42 was horrible. The image of my roommates at the time jumping off the couch with glee when Burress scored is seared into my brain, I don't think I've ever been that mad. Flying to Mass to watch it with my brother this time.

 

[Aldogg]

Glad to know I am not the the only freak on here who wants to be alone during the game! Don't get me wrong, SB 36 we had the biggest bash and celebration ever, but that was before wives and kids got involved lol.

Not only am I locking myself in the mancave Sunday, but I put in for Monday off. I have worked or had class after every SB, now I get to recover from whatever happens, either going nuclear or going nuts, or if its another close one, a heart attack.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

Here's how it goes down with me. I have been asked to quite a few parties the boys host every year. The thing is i am a little too intense and i know i would embarass the bejesus out of myself.

Soooo, i am gonna hang right here with the gang, we are all in this together...

If the Pats aren't involved, I love to go to SB parties and be the guy that hates the team the host loves. Just can't help myself

Doesn't work for me. I go next door for the SeaHags vs Squealers SB. All casual fans with no dog in the hunt. Host is a retired MD who "knows everything" NOT. Anyhow, as you guys know there's bad call after bad call. I go ballistic. Host gets pissed at me saying "How do you know? The announcers didn't say that" Whatever. He nearly asked me to leave as I was pointing out how ludicrous that travesty of a game was called. Never again.

 

[Thirdbasekid24]

Glad I'm not the only one in this situation. I'm a die hard and hate when people try and talk to me during the game, especially if the unthinkable is happening. I know deep down that the best thing for me to do is to stay home and lock myself in my room where I can punch and throw things but the casino here is throwing a big party that sounds very tempting and I'm feeling pretty confident about our chances. Most people there will be seahag fans rooting for the Giants because they beat them in the reg season (in their minds that makes them the better team). Got a few more days to decide what I want to do.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Alright. I'm in. I'll do it!

Check your PM- I think I found something that will work.
