Title: Football or ice fishin?
Post by: Lac Suel Freak on Feb 03, 2012, 11:03 AM
For me its been both this year. Don't want to show either of the gods favoritism. I missed (some) Playoffs for fish. How about everyone else?

I'm still debating whether I want to fish or watch the game......... I dislike the Patriots and Giants both, considering they already played a super bowl vs each other 4 or so years ago.  I don't like rematches. The national championship game was a joke and I hope the super bowl doesn't turn out the same.

Ice fishing in the morning as the trout bite shuts completely off after 12 then watching the game unfortunately the packers didnt show up against the giants or it would be a different story

I will still watch, plan to fish in the morning though.

I hate both teams because their cities win titles all the time. Think of being from Boston.. 3 Super Bowls, 2 World Series (i think), 1 NBA title and 1 Stanley cup...all in the last 10 years. You spoiled rotten brats!! (That's envy talking)

New York is bad, but not quite as bad. Got the Super Bowls and world series recently but no Cup or NBA title in a while.

Try being in Minnesota. Just starving for a winne...uh, i mean a competitor!

Ouch!! I feel eriksat1's pain and loss of intrest. It hurts bad when the Lions future looks brighter than the Bears. It must not be easy being cheesy this year either. What a tuff break after a stellar year. I'm pretty much anti-east coast footbal so this game only counts for the squares I have and hopefully a shoot out.

Ice fishing if we had ice but we don't so I guess I'll do anything buuuuut watch a bunch of overpaid prima donna's play football. I'm not a fan of pro sports, the big money made the fun go out of the game. Besides I hate the commercials and dispise the halftime shows.

Yea it was over when Cutler got hurt. I'll go ice fishing but probably be home to watch the game before half time. I really don't care who wins. I would have liked to see the 9'ers in it. I like hockey also, damn the Blackhawks got spanked last night by the oil.

I'll be fishing until 1 or 2 and be home and settled in before 4. Supposed to be sunny and 38 here. Can't say no to that.

Best of both worlds. Go Pats!

I could not care less about watching any game, even watching fishing is boring... I like to play games, but I rather have a root canal than have to sit throw a whole game... I am happy for all those that enjoy it, I have never understood how any one could, but to each his own.

If the wife would let me out this weekend I would bring the generator and Tv out on the ice to watch the game.  Wish we were playing green bay.

Not at all, it's just that my Dad was an NFL referee way back when and I got my fill of football as a kid. I went to every NFL city in the country before they went wild with expansion teams. He referee'd Superbowl XXI, some of you guys probably remember one of the teams in that game I would imagine. ;D

Post by: Lobes on Feb 04, 2012, 09:47 AM
I thought I wanted to watch the game but this year they crossed the line with commercialism. Now no radio stations and even some media websites can even call it the superbowl. They have to call it the "Big Game" or something stupid like that. I guess when I'm told I can't call it what it is then I guess it can't be that interesting to me to support that kind of a business. I liked it better when the emphasis was on the sport, like icefishing is to me!

Epic day for me yesterday.  Chased flags all morning.  Had doubles 3 different times.  Got home early enough to relax before the game.  Got to watch my favorite team beat the pats again and managed to win 3 out of 4 quarters in the office pool.  Life doesn't get much better than that.
