4 Things To Watch On Super Bowl Sunday That's NOT The Super Bowl
February 7th is the biggest day in sports. The day the entire country turns their TV's to one channel. Super Bowl Sunday!
Everyone watches the Super Bowl. People who hate sports still watch the Super Bowl. With all that being said, the Super Bowl is a little over top with their coverage. Are you really going to watch 8 hours of pregame? Heck, the ACTUALLY pregame show won't start until about an hour before the game. It's too much!
No fear! Here is a list of things to watch on Super Bowl while you wait for the actually game.
*The Puppy Bowl is not included on this list. As much as everyone wishes, it is not an actually game or sport of any kind. Though it is cute...
4. Premier League
Let's get up early and watch football! No, not American Football. The football where the athletes use their actually FEET the entire time. Premier League will have two matches the morning of Super Bowl 50. Will the average American care about English soccer? For the most part, no. If you are an early raiser or a soccer fan, you should check it out. Bournemouth will be taking on Arsenal, who is currently in top of the standings. Also, Chelsea will face off against Manchester United.
If you know anything about soccer, Man U is sort of a big deal. They only have 20 league titles, the most of any team in the Premier League.
3. NCAA College Basketball
Some people might be shocked by this but college basketball doesn't just happen during March Madness. There will be about 12 games taking place the day of the BIG game. All of them are no earlier 1 pm PT! By the time you are done watching Miami take on Georgia Tech, you'll still get 2-3 hours of Super Bowl pregame! See schedule here.
2. NBA
It's the NFL's biggest game of the season. Doesn't mean you should ignore the NBA. By the time February 7th comes around, we will have just over two months left in the NBA regular season. Teams will be making their playoff run. We will have Atlanta at Orlando, Denver visiting New York, and Miami hosting the LA Clippers. Of course, all early games! NBA schedule here.
There might another game on that day...
1. Sacramento Kings vs Boston Celtics
The Sacramento Kings are playing the same day as the BIG game! The Kings will be in Boston looking for payback for that lost in Mexico City on December 3rd. Currently, both Sacramento and Boston are ranked ninth in their own conferences. It will be interesting to see if both teams will be fighting for a playoff spot by February 7th. Plus, the game starts at 10 am. Plenty of time before opening kickoff!
