Super Bowl
The big game is about to kick off – do you care? I must confess I don’t. Oh, I will watch the beginning at least. And I may cheer for Philadelphia since they have one player on their team, but whether they or Kansas City wins makes no difference to me. My guess is I’ll […]
Super Bowl 2024
Unlike millions of people, I don’t care about the Super Bowl, the American football championship, which starts a few minutes after this will be posted. I don’t follow the league. I don’t care who is playing the half-time show. The ads, which are so hyped, are now all available online – there is no need […]
Game On!
I’m typing this while watching the Grey Cup, Canada’s football championship, on television. No Roman numerals needed for this one. In the US, the Super Bowl is a big deal. Arguably more for the size of the television audience and the commercials aired during the broadcast than for the game. I may not be an […]
What Game?
They played the Super Bowl last night. Surprisingly I found myself watching. Not for the game, but for the commercials. I generally find four-down footbal boring, though I will admit it has gotten more interesting in recent years with a greater emphasis on passing. Still I don’t watch the regular season, and I pretty much […]
Wanna Buy A Car?
Those who aren’t sports fans watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. It is the most watched television event of the year, with advertisers paying millions of dollars for a short spot and putting their most creative advertising minds to work on the product. As a Canadian, I rarely watch the game – and if […]
Super Bowl LV
Forget the Roman numerals. There’s a big game tonight, but I probably won’t be watching. The championship game of American professional football starts well after midnight, my time. Which is a bit late to stay up for a spot I don’t usually follow, even if this year I have been keeping track, more or less. […]
What Super Bowl?
I’ve suddenly realized that I’ve missed the hype. I had to look up who was playing in the Super Bowl today. Not that it matters. I’m not likely to stay up for most of the night to watch the American football championship. I don’t care enough about the game, and I suspect most Americans would […]
Monday Comes Early This Week
Blame the Super Bowl for for there not being a blog post here today. What you are reading is a figment of your imagination. And no, I didn’t watch the game. I don’t care enough for the NFL brand of football to watch a game that starts at 12:30 a.m. my time. I didn’t watch […]
Super Bowl LI
It is Super Bowl Sunday in the USA, the championship game of American professional football. For the first time in more than a decade I’m thinking about tuning in. The Super Bowl is the most watched, most over-hyped sporting spectacle in America. The game rarely lives up to the anticipation (unlike the Canadian Grey Cup) […]
Grey Cup 2015
Today is the big day for Canadian football fans, the annual Grey Cup championship game. Unlike our cousins to the south, we don’t get all fancy and use Roman numerals to describe the game. We don’t need to add artificial gravitas to it – our trophy has been around for more than a century, something […]
