Today is the big game. I will probably tune in for a bit of it, but I no longer have the patience for these overly produced sporting events. All the worst people spend two weeks preparing to do their worst during the broadcast and they do not disappoint. The game has been enveloped by ads and social commentary from people who should not be allowed to have opinions. Then you have the halftime show, which became ridiculous a long time ago.
For the longest time, at least twenty years, I watched little of the game because I was part of hosting a big Superbowl party. It took all day to get things ready and then most of the game was spent feeding people and socializing, often with people I would see once a year. I might catch some of the halftime show and the end of the game, but most of it was lost on me. It turned out to be the best way to consume this product.
We ended the annual party and so I had the chance to watch the whole game from start to finish and I was shocked at the terribleness of it. The runup was full of jibber-jabber from men who had taken too many blows to the head. The game was okay, but the endless breaks and the insipid ads in those breaks made it hard for me to watch. I would go around the channels to see what else was happening during the long commercial breaks and then forget to come back to the game.
