Alternatives To Watching The Super Bowl On Sunday

It’s only the biggest game in the sporting world and it’ll be dominating NBC Sunday – I’m talking about the Super Bowl!  However, I know there are quite a few people that could really care less that it’s on and will probably be looking for something else to watch instead of the biggest game of the year (not to mention you’ll be missing the commercials too)!

Several networks are dedicating blocks of programming or marathons of their biggest and most popular shows, while others have specialty programming like the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet (the pet lover’s alternative to the Super Bowl).
