Even though I really hope that both teams lose today I will probably watch the game simply because it's on. Shame on me!
One former New England Patriots standout will not be watching Sunday's Super Bowl. But there's a worthy reason for that.
Aaron Hernandez, currently incarcerated and in the middle of a murder trial in the death of Odin Lloyd, will not be permitted to watch Super Bowl XLIX, featuring his former Patriots team against the Seattle Seahawks.

Bristol County Sheriff Tom Hodgson told ABC News that Hernandez, who remains in the same solitary confinement cell in the Special Management Unit in the jail at North Dartmouth, Mass., that he was brought to after his arrest in June 2013, will not be able to watch television — and that includes Sunday's game.
"His classification has not changed since the last time he was here," Hodgson said. "He remains under the same restrictions that he was last time he was here."
Interestingly, the jury will be allowed to watch the game — something the judge overseeing the case allowed — but the man on trial, Hernandez, will not.
It's a fascinating bit of trivia, but Hernandez was the last recepient of a Tom Brady touchdown pass in a Super Bowl, early in the third quarter of the eventual loss to the New York Giants in XLVI.
Interestingly, the jury will be allowed to watch the game — something the judge overseeing the case allowed — but the man on trial, Hernandez, will not.
That's something alright. Not sure what, but something. I wonder if Herandez GAS abut the game.
