The Super Bowl is a monster event, and for that reason it has an outsize emotional
impact. Not only are there the passionate vows of loyalty to a particular team, but
also a largely media-generated message that no one should be alone on Super Bowl Sunday—no
matter what. Football fans bond over the primal event with a binge of drink and food,
howling at the television, high-fives, and chest bumps. To be fair, non-fans also
find comfort with each other in making an anti-Super Bowl statement. PBS, anyone?
The point is there’s a drive to connect. What does that mean to us? Easy: an excuse
to jump into that Superdome of beguiling human expression known as the Craigslist
Personals. We scanned “missed connections,” “strictly platonic,” “misc romance” and
“casual encounters” for samples of the searching human voice, eager for contact that
related—in one way or another—to the Super Bowl. To get our balance back, we ended
with “rants and raves” and found, well, who was to blame for the power outage.
Here are our faves, including a few from Baltimore because, after all, it was their
night.
Sean, the dominos delivery guy—m4m—32 (Brookland-CUA)
I know this is a long shot, but here it goes. You’re a tall and handsome black guy
named Sean. You delivered my dominos pizza and food tonight (Super Bowl night). You
were very nice to me, gave me a free soda, and asked me if I watch the game, but I’m
from Europe and told you I only watch soccer when it comes to sports. You smiled and
shook my hands. If you read this or deliver in the Brookland area please hit me up.

you but you look so cute.. I hope you can find this message..
pediactric nurse from mt washington hospital?—m4w—38 (giant on york road by abc 2)

sister in laws.. you are a pediatric nurse that drives a bwm suv… i THINK its mt
washington hosptial or george washington hospital… im the army guy that was really
into you.. probably a long shot but you never know…
Smoothie next time?—m4m (WSC Downtown, Conn Ave)
Super Bowl Sunday: Wish we could have stayed longer at the gym. Next time will you
join me for a Pinkberry smoothie?
Melissa, Dogwatch Tavern—m4w
I know this is a shot in the dark, and I’ve never used craigslist before other than
buying furniture, but this is the first way I thought about when trying to locate
you after the game was over and I could not find you. I think you are extremely beautiful,
with a great smile and a great sense of humor. I really wanted to at least give you
my number so we could see each other again after rioting in the streets after the
RAVENS WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!!! Go Ravens!!!!!
American flag guy on Charles (GO RAVENS!)—w4m—20 (North Charles St)
We were both in the mob on North Charles after the Ravens won, you were carrying a
giant American flag and leading chants. I told you you were sexy, ran back to you
and we made out a little. You seem really cool and you’re a great kisser, just wondering
if you’d ever like a re-play. Tell me what color scarf I was wearing!
Love your look—m4w—54
I saw you at Top of the World. You are just incredibly sexy and I loved the way you
cheered for the Ravens.
Good morning…—m4w—36 (Potomac)
Good morning. In need of a distraction (chat) to help keep today interesting. I have
a few corny jokes and wicked typing speeds if we IM (yahoo).
If that’s not enough to get you excited, just pretend I’m the Calvin Klein model from
last night’s Super Bowl commercial.
Someone to Talk to and Chill with—w4m—28 (MD/DC)
Am watching the Super Bowl, but am not rooting for anyone so not paying full attention.
Interested in someone to talk to, maybe become friends and hang out with in the future.
Message me if you’re interested.
Good looking, married man interested in NSA relationship—m4w—31 (nova)
Married, white male looking to meet someone for discreet NSA fun. I’m in a relationship
that is becoming less and less intimate, and I would like to meet someone who I can
become close with, both physically and emotionally.
I am fit, educated, and willing to try anything once. If you can relate, tell me a
little about yourself. Put the winner of the Super Bowl in the subject line so I know
you are a real person.
Hung stud for post Super Bowl fun—m4w—25 (Arlington (hosting))
Is there anyone out there who is still in the mood to celebrate? Or if you were 9’ers
fans, soothe the loss with some hot sex? Either way, this young, fit, and hot guy
is ready to play with a hwp and attractive woman tonight. We can meet at a bar nearby
to make sure the chemistry is right.
No guys, scammers, or professionals. Put “Go Ravens” in the subject line and attach
photos or I won’t read your message. Good luck!

Super bowl Power Outage???—m4w—43 (Nice Rockville Hotel with flat screen HD)
Hey ladies!

Pike!
