This is going to be an awesome super bowl. Anybody have some good plans for the big day? I'm rooting for the ravens, and thanking God that Tom Brady lost.
I studiously ignore most sports, football in particular, but I watch the superbowl, have every year since 1988 even when it meant unplugging the TV from the living room and dragging it into the weird library closet thing at my parents' house. As it is the only time of the year I see commercials, popular music or general cultural references, it's always a pleasantly alienating experience, like being Valentine Michael Smith walking the streets of New York. This year I shall invite two other couples that studiously ignore sports and we shall feel alienated together. I find it's a great time to stock up on Superbowl party staples - baked brie, cava, crostini, prosciutto & grapes. You know, red-blooded Heartland food.
As long as you have a good time, I'm happy for you! It's a good excuse to get together with friends and have a nice time, no matter how much you like sports. Maybe for this years party I'll have to try some exotic cheeses in your honor
Ah I'm sorry you have to work during the game. I like the ravens because I want ray Lewis to go out with a bang, and I think the ravens Harbaugh is a nicer guy than his brother. Kaepernick surprised me completely, but he deserves the accolades he gets.
