"when you have no interest in a cultural touchstone and subsequently find yourself in a minority"

Oh, the fact that this article is closing in on 1500 comments pretty much assures that the AV Club won't be hesitant about having regular sports coverage. Lurky McLurkerson, by making dozens and dozens of posts about how she doesn't care about football and how by God nobody should tell her she should care about…

Oh yes, David Tyree. I think I was the only person in the world outside of the Boston metropolitan area that wanted the Patriots to win, so we could see a team go 19-0, and so Mercury Morris and the '72 Dolphins could shut the fuck up. But still, man, what a catch.

Do you have 20 minutes to hear him drone on about how halftime shows are symbolic of the futility of human existence?

Yes, but you're more than 8 years old, so you aren't supposed to care about "My Little Pony".
