It’s weird that I get so excited about the Super Bowl since the Redskins haven’t been close to playing in it in a couple of decades. I have no skin in the game this year, but I’ll be cheering for Kam Chancellor and Nick Sorensen (both Hokies) to have a good game, so by default, I’m cheering for Seattle.

I considered playing a game during the Super Bowl where I either take a shot, or do 20 push-ups, every time someone says, “deflate-gate,” but I know I’ll either be bombed or exhausted by the end of the first quarter so I skipped that plan. Instead, I’ll eat a little too much Mexican layer dip, and too many chicken wings, and enjoy the commercials. And of course I’ll throw a margarita in there for good measure.
Sharing a little good news, I got an email on Friday inviting me back as a Feetures! Ambassador again for 2015. Feetures are the only socks I wear, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what the Seahawks and Patriots are wearing tonight! If they’re looking for comfy, blister-free socks, that’s what they should be wearing!
- Questions:
- Are you watching the Super Bowl?
- If so, which team are you cheering for?
- Did you race this weekend?
Congrats! I love Feetures socks, too; they’re the only socks I’ll wear to run! A couple of guys from my hometown of Charlotte founded the company.
I’m pulling for the Seahawks. I like Russell Wilson and the Legion of Boom, and I hate the Patriots. Whether or not Deflategate is real, they’ve cheated before!
I ran a 10K in Charlotte yesterday. It was my first race since the Thunder Road Half Marathon in November and a tune-up before my next round of races in my 50-state quest for my sister. I didn’t get a PR, but I took second place!
Congrats on your second place at yesterday’s 10K, Laura! Very cool!
Yep I’m watching the Super Bowl right now (also cheering for Seattle) and enjoying the commercials! I’m a Redskins fan, too, so yea it’s been awhile. Congrats on being selected as a 2015 Feetures ambassador! They are definitely my favorite running socks 🙂
Which has been your favorite commercial? I loved the Budweiser puppy commercial, but had already seen it earlier this week. Since they release so many of them the week before the game, they’re not as exciting to watch.
I try not to see them in advance, because I think it ruins it. The Budweiser one was really cute 🙂 I also liked that Doritos commercial of the guy on the plane trying to keep people from sitting next to him. It was funny!
I didn’t see the Doritos commercial you mention, so I just Googled it. Cute! I liked the Seven-Up commercial where everything in the room started dancing, including the deer head on the wall. Did you see it? And of course I loved the Budweiser puppy commercial.
I love feetures! Congrats on the ambassadorship!
Thanks, Deborah!
We watched the Super Bowl and were happy that is was such a good game this year. The commercials were disappointing (to me) overall but I liked a few. I’m not a huge Katy Perry fan but I actually thought the half-time show was really well done!!!
I wish that they didn’t release the commercials in advance, because I’d already seen a few of them prior to Sunday night. One of my favorites was the Seven-Up commercial that aired in the afternoon in the pre-game show.
Congrats on the ambassadorship!
That was a hell of a game last night and I’m glad my boys came out on top. I think the Seahawks need to learn how to lose like men though, and not cause a massive fight with only 18 seconds left in the game. I suppose we should thank them though, since we gained yardage and could just take the knee to finish the game. Crazy business!
Thanks, Courtney!
Oh I definitely was watching the superbowl, I’m a Pats fan. What a game! Congrats on Feetures! I got selected too! I am super excited because I was turned down last year!!
Very cool, Sue – congrats!
Congrats on your continued ambassador gig – I will have to check out those socks.
I spent most of the Superbowl ignoring the game and chatting with friends. My family HATES the Patriots, so it did not end well for us!
Yeah, I think a lot of people either love or hate the Patriots. It’s funny how some teams are like that.
Definitely try Feetures. You’ll love them!
so cool on the feetures thing — mar is an ambassador too! love that pic of your son 🙂 what a crazy game!
Thanks, Courtney!
The Super Bowl was the lesser of two evils this time. Know what’s funny about Deflate-gate? They never said it! They talked about it but didn’t use the term. I know, because I made bingo cards for the girls for the game. It included things like “Patriots touchdown,” “Seahawks first down,” but also “Deflate-gate reference,” “arial shot of stadium” and “Richard Sherman talking shizz.”
Even though I heard them say deflate-gate just before the game in one of the pre-game shows, I didn’t hear it either during the game. It would have been a very boring drinking game!
