    Sarah Jessica Parker: "I Have Absolutely No Interest" in Watching the Super Bowl

    Sarah Jessica Parker: "I Have Absolutely No Interest" in Watching the Super Bowl

    Her husband Matthew Broderick may be appearing in a Ferris Bueller-themed Super Bowl commercial, but Sarah Jessica Parker says she can't be bothered to tune in to football's biggest game.

    "I can tell you honesty, I will not be watching the football game," she admits to USA Today. "I have absolutely no interest."

    Instead, 46-year-old Parker -- who took over Demi Moore's role in Lovelace -- has plenty of other plans.

    VIDEO: Watch Matthew Broderick's Super Bowl commercial

    "How long does [the game] last? Up to four hours? Really?" the busy mom of three asked USA Today. "If I had four hours of leisure time, I would watch the first episode of Luck and start the first season of Mad Men or Downton Abbey. You get my point."

    The New England Patriots will take on the New York Giants Sunday in Super Bowl XLVI, kicking off at 6:30 p.m. live from Indianapolis, Ind.

      OH MY GOD! You people are so MEAN. SJP is NOT a transvestite donkey witch even though, yes, she may at times resemble a transvestite donkey witch. She is a great actress and deserves our love and admiration. And an occasional apple or cube of sugar. They like that. Donkeys I mean. Not to say she IS a donkey. She isn't. Just that perhaps she might prefer the sort of snack you'd give a transvestite donkey witch if you happened to startle one clawing its way into a carrot factory. Not saying that SJP has been spotted trying to claw her way into such a place. But if she did, she would have every right to do so. Even if she is a transvestite donkey witch, she is a MARVELOUS ACTRESS. So STOP being so mean! Thank you.

      Apparently, preferring NOT to spend 4 hours watching a football game is quite upsetting to most. Regression to the mean. I agree...time to chill out and remember that not every person on this planet lives and breathes football.

      She's just stating an opinion... Chill out, people! We're all entitled to those, in case you've forgotten...

        Well said!

      I agree with her. It's just so much hype and overkill and all boils down to money, which the average person just does not have enough of. I'm sure that money is not her problem, but I still agree with her!!! But to all the fans: ENJOY!!!

      If I were her I am sure I could find something better to do too!

      I won't be watching either. Isn't the 'Puppy Bowl' on?
    • Serpico  •  3 months ago
      Who cares about the Super Bowl I am not watching either!
    • galeval  •  Yorkville, Illinois  •  3 months ago
      Now she knows how some people felt about her "Sex in the City" tv show and movies. The same hype were going on when the tv show was ending and the first movie was coming out.

      • John 3 months ago
        I can't. I j-j-j-just c-c-c-can't!

        Thumbs up from me (#4). What a dumb way to spend an evening.
      • Shak3nNotStirred 3 months ago
        Right on Charming! To each his/her own. : )

        Geeze, a little judgemental there John?? Yes, spending time with family and friends is a "dumb way to spend an evening."

      Boring sports: Basketball, Baseball and Football. She isnt missing anything.
    • Anya J  •  3 months ago
      same with me, I can't believe that so called adults just go nuts over a stupid football game....hey, there will be another one next year, and the year after that, it is NOT unique! Maybe all the fuss would be good if it was only played every 4 or 5 years. Just another excuse to get stupid drunk and scream and yell
      • Shak3nNotStirred 3 months ago
        I don't know anyone who goes "nuts" over it but if people want to get together with family and friends to enjoy each other's company while watching some entertainment I fail to see the harm. Please drink responsibly! : )
    • Diane  •  San Francisco, California  •  3 months ago
      Is it okay to not choose to spend time watching football? Wow. It is interesting to see how she was slammed by just admitting she has no interest...Lots of people could care less.
      • KrisM 3 months ago
        Or "couldn't" care less...
      • hockeyfan 3 months ago
        Yes and I am one of them so I am with her.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  Toronto, Canada  •  3 months ago
      oh good I was going to make my decision on what she had to say
    • itsellen  •  3 months ago
      Wow, shocking. Think I'm going to pass out.
      • Sheila 3 months ago
        Yes! Alert the media....oh, I guess somebody did!
    • Peter  •  3 months ago
      Lol, well pretty much all of us have no interest in watching you either, so we're even :)
    • Jerry  •  Skokie, Illinois  •  3 months ago
      thanks for the useless info!!
    • angel  •  3 months ago
      i didnt know she had children... i do agree with her though. its a complete waste of time maybe thats a bit harsh i will admitt but so is taking over almost every channel that i would watch on a sunday night because men in tights want to throw a ball. i`ve got sour grapes tonight and i am not ashamed to admitt it.

      Good call by SJP.
      In fact, she has something in common with the Superbowl -
      Without gallons of booze, most guys wouldn't touch either.
    • fordzz1  •  3 months ago
      Just what makes her sexy to some. Just take a close look and think of Wizard Of Oz, Now, how does she remind you of. "Right"...
    • johnnya  •  Norwich, Canada  •  3 months ago
      That's okay. Other horses will be watching.
