    A lot has been said negatively about this recent Super Bowl. The poll options are just some of the most commonly stated opinions, or simple revelations, about it. Which of these statements are true of you?

    Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll punt. ;) I hereby confess that I did something I haven't done in longer than I can recall—I watched most of the Super Bowl. So if you didn't like it despite all the broken records, consider it God's punishment, and blame me if you need.

    What impacted me most was the kissing of the trophy. I had never witnessed it before, though I have seen people kiss rings and icons.

    I have a friend who lives in Louisiana (near New Orleans) and he said down there it was the "boycott bowl" and there were boycott parties everywhere. I don't blame the people of Louisiana after what happened to the Saints!

    It was the most boring Super Bowl I've ever seen and I've seen them all. Should have bailed out at half time but watched it out of a sense of tradition and obligation, not because it was entertaining. Same kind feeling I got with the recent Star Wars movie(s) and Dr. Who.

    I chose to not watch and have no knowledge of what went on -- at least as long as possible. I could avoid it no longer when I got on the Yahoo main page to log in to my e-mail around 8 am Monday morning.

    After my wife and I watched the two playoff games which in our opinion were two SUPERBOWL games back to back... This wasn't a superbowl!... This was just another boring football game where the winner got a trophy at the end... Brother Glen:)

    Did anyone notice the two male cheerleaders for the Rams performing during the Super Bowl?

    Pats' defense has been maligned by sports reporters all season, but they came within a foot (Zuerlein's FG just snuck inside the post) of pitching a shutout. The O-line handled the game's best tackle tandem (Donald and Suh) quite well, also. Ram's D made life hard for TB and friends, but not for long enough to win.

    Boring game. Bad commercials. Embarrassingly bad half-time show. The BBQ dinner with friends made it worthwhile.

    I don't really care what any of the unpatriotic jerks do.
