24 Thoughts Someone That Doesn't Follow The NFL Had During Super Bowl LII

I've never really been one to get into watching sports. I do love going to football and basketball games at my university and even seeing local baseball games, but I don't actively watch sports on TV, especially NFL. However, this changes when the Super Bowl comes around. Although I usually don't have a strong pull for either team, I enjoy watching all aspects of the game.

As a public relations student, I naturally pay special attention to the commercials. Plus, it is an excuse to eat some yummy junk food and watch Justin Timberlake sing some 2000s throwbacks at halftime. So, here are some of the thoughts (and questions) I had during Super Bowl LII.

1. Let's count the number of random celebrities that appear in commercials.

2. How much do these companies actually pay for a spot during the Super Bowl?

3. I wonder how much money the owners get if their team wins.

4. But seriously, imagine the number of things you could do with that money instead of paying for a Super Bowl ad.

5. Who was sitting around a boardroom and thought "Yes, for Bud Light, let's make the tagline be 'dilly, dilly'?"

6. Wow, that hit had to hurt.

7. Who came up with team names and colors anyway?

8. There are so many food commercials.

9. Can you imagine the amount of money it takes it not only pay for a Super Bowl ad but also pay a celebrity to be in your commercial so people actually pay attention to it?

10. OK, but where are the Clydesdale horses?

11. I wonder if there will be another ball deflation catastrophe.

12. I feel like this is a dumb question, but why are certain players like Tom Brady so famous?

13. Chris Hemsworth drinking wine in his homeland of Australia, yes I'm here for it.

14. I wonder what the players do after their football career is over...

15. Either way, a Gamecock is winning the Super Bowl and that's pretty cool.

16. Hey, Justin Timberlake, if it doesn't work out with Jessica for some reason hit me up.

17. Wow, football players doing the "Dirty Dancing" routine, 10/10.

18. Honestly though, the only commercials that can afford one of these slots are already huge and everyone knows about them so what is the real point of advertising? I guess it is to keep the company's positive public perception but still, that's a lot of money.

19. This game is actually fairly close, wow.

20. How do football players stand getting constantly hit all the time?

21. Yeah, that needs to become a meme.

22. That one guy had a braid, I saw a braid.

23. Yeah, the game is definitely over, the trophy was brought out.

24. How could you watch "This Is Us" after the Super Bowl? That's too many emotions.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
