The "Haters Bowl"....

[NeverSayDieFan]

Do any teams (honorable mention to the Cowboys, of course) inspire more dislike (outside of their own fan bases) than the Seahawks or Patriots?
I would say, probably not. Personally, I have absolutely ZERO interest in watching the game. Perhaps, I can stumble onto a "Gilligan's Island" marathon instead to spend the time.

BASK-ing in the 70 degrees outside!

Well Mark. One thing can be said of this SB. It is likely to be a hard-fought and tight game that goes down to the wire, unlike last year's debacle. SBs are not often great games, (as Conference Championships are usually better games). This SB just might become one of the better played ones to come along.

IMO this will be a great game also if NE stomps Seattle by 21+ points.

The fact that these teams are hated by some will just make it more reasonable to watch. Both of these teams are great teams and are worth watching. I don't know that Wilson is anywhere near Brady's level but if you want to be real when Brady was winning superbowls it was more about what his team did and less about him. That is the recipe for winning it all. It's all about team not one guy. I am am glad that the colts didn't sneak into the super bowl because they aren't that good to be in a SB. I personally think the best two teams were in Seattle yesterday but we shall see.

I'm a Cards fan and enjoy football. Some team's fans are annoying but I don't hate any team.
These are the two best teams and should be a damn good game!!

 

[Ronin]

The NFL has got me hooked on football, so I will watch.

 

[Linderbee]

No interest, not watching.

 

[Cardsfanstl]

I am working that day and they just increased the hours to 6pm so I will miss some of the game. Really do not care who wins but my heart wants Seattle to get punded by the Pats.

The mark of a dominant organization is others hate them. Fans of the Big Red used to hate Dallas back in the days that they made the playoffs every year for something like 15 years straight.

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

Any chance we can "paint"...

our locker "pink"? (like the Iowa Hawkeyes did)

TAKE THAT SEAHAWKS!!

Somehow the football gods have had two years in a row that I could care less who wins.

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

Admittedly...

2 great teams and 2 great organizations. That being said..IF I don't have a Cardinal, er, "dog" in the fight I have NO emotional interest.

I will be paying attention to the commercials. Last year I missed them because I was at the SB last year.

 

[Zeno]

I'll be hanging with family at Disneyworld during the Super Bowl, don't care at all about the game, no matter who wins it sucks.

It's become the trendy sort of thing to hate the Patriots ever since "Spygate" though and the successful run they've had. I don't think the Seahawks or their fans are "hated" or disliked by many football fans except those who root for other NFC West teams. I think the hate is amplified here because of them being a divisional rival. The Seahawks have a lot of bandwagon fans they picked over the last 3 years or so which is annoying but nothing compared to the Steelers & fans with their "Terrible Towel" or Packers & their "Cheeseheads". Personally I think the Raiders and their fans are the worst in all sports minus Yankee fans. Like you mentioned the Cowboys and their fans are one of those teams that are probably at the top of the list for being hated or disliked by other football fans also. The Patriots may be in the top 5 or 10 "hated" teams but it's become sort of the "in" thing due to their success. Outside of the NFC West I can't think of anyone hating the Seahawks though. Even after the loss yesterday Packer fans turned the hate toward their coach more than Seattle.

If Seattle wins, does that dismantle the Patriots' "Dynasty" once and for all, having lost their last three Super Bowl appearances?

still think winning three of four back in the day makes THAT era a dynasty. This Super Bowl goes more towards cementing Brady and Bellichek in their respective positions in best ever conversations.

 

[Big Deal]

Cowboys and Broncos would be more hated for sure.

 

[Jersey Girl]

I'll watch. I missed last year's Super Bowl since I was traveling for a funeral. (Definitely not the way I wanted to spend Super Bowl Sunday.)

I hope the Seahawks get stomped.

 

[40yearfan]

Patriots 47

Hawks 3

The Seahawks play so badly, the NFL declares them ineligible for the next 3 SB's.

 

[jmt]

I wish we were so hated!

 

[blindseyed]

I wish we were so hated!

Lol local Puke fans hate us
I said this on another thread, I don't care and probably won't watch, I can't stand either team.
Also, the way the Hags have played I do not see a close game, I think people are over estimating them. I think it will be more like the Pats/Colts game.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Seattle? Now way.

Cowboys, Broncos, Raiders, 49ers are hated much more than the Seahawks.

In terms of the Cowboys...completely agree. It's not even close comparing hated for them versus Seattle.
