#65I didn't even know it was today until all these Super Bowl articles started showing up. I was happy that the Bears lost a few weeks ago because it means I have another year to be able to walk around in my neighborhood without being hit by drunk drivers.

#66I'm doing both, since neither team is my team I'm only half paying attention to it. I also think it's hilarious how so many techies love to brag about not caring about football.

People think that sports and programming are mutually exclusive for some reason. As if you can't be a good programmer unless you hate sports.
Personally, I like to hack and I hold football season tickets.

The complexity is actually one of the reason's I'm less attracted to American football than, say, soccer. In my experience programmers like simplicity and elegance, of which the NFL, with its large collection of seemingly arbitrary rules, has neither.
That's not to say I don't enjoy watching it (especially being a Wisconsinite...).
