grayhawkfhOnce again, it's that time of year, the time of year where we celebrate that most American of modern holidays: The Super Bowl (or, as my World History teacher, Mike Gould, called it, the Hyper Bowl).
(Side note: While I'm a big fan of tradition, the NFL needs to move the game to Saturday night so that people have Sunday to clean up and recover from the parties. )
Alas, my beloved Philadelphia Eagles will not be playing, but I'll still be watching. All I really hope for is a good game and a handful of humorous and/or innovative commercials. This year...I really don't know who will win. Nor do I have a favorite. Growing up in South Jersey, Pittsburgh was always the AFC team it was ok to root for, and I admit to a soft spot in my heart for the Packers (unless they're playing the Eagles, then they can all burn). I think that this is the "Dream Game" for the NFL - two storied franchises with large and passionate national fan bases. Should make for good ratings.
This year, we'll be at home. We'll do the Pathfinder game in the afternoon, and have chili and stuff for the game. If you wanna come by, you're welcome to do so, just lemme know.
In the meantime, here's a few polls for you to fill out if the mood so strikes you.
