Why did the Super Bowl Game Bore Me?

**rookie** · 02-08-2010, 11:10 PM

I am a rookie, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance.

I rarely watch football (time issue) but I watches the past 2 Super Bowls from beginning to end, and was entertained throughout.

I couldn't get into this game though -why not?

Is it me, or was it really boring?

For example, when I watched the New York Giants storm out swinging against the Patriots, my eyes were glued to the set. I couldn't believe it, I though I was
watching a scene from Mel Gibson'e Braveheart, the way the Giants wacked Tom Brady around like he was a ragdoll, and that set the pace... He recovered, but the giants kept pushing...

The latest Superbowl put me to sleep ...was it really that boring?

I didn't think so at all. I think so far you may be the only person that has said it was boring.. Nothing against you that's your preference. But I thought it was pretty entertaining.

First half's of superbowls are always boring.

IT was a good game. Both teams had there shots to win. A lot of times the superbowl is over by halftime so this was a good game.

They have gotten better lately. But Most the superbowls I have seen have been blowouts. Hopefuly the days of the blowouts are better.

I just think I was spoiled by the two horseraces that preceded this Super Bowl.

This superbowl was outstanding!

rookie ur going to have to develop an appreciation for the regelur season and each teams personal story and what it takes to get there to fully appreciate it.

But this Superbowl IMO was in my top 5.

Because there was a total to 63 complete passes. What a show! That has nver happened in a Superbowl.

Got to see some guts, how bout that onside kick?! It was soooo gutsy even the colts knew that they werent crazy enuf to do it. therefore unprepared for it.

I thought Addai and Bush were extremely fun to watch. Especially Addai, talk about some serious moves.

And the officiating was awesome. They let both teams play. I wish this crew would officiate the rest of the superbowls. you hardly knew the refs were there. I mean, how many penalties were in the game?

And most of all. The good guys won.
