SUPER!

Today's the day, the unofficial holiday of the US, Superbowl Sunday.
When your team is not in the game then it becomes all about the commercials, the food and if you are a betting man, the office pool. Not being in any type of work environment neither J nor I are in the office pool.

So it is all about the food. Apparently we are not alone as the supermarkets were full of people these last 2 days. Lots of chips and dips in special displays. All kinds of wings and nachos for sale. Special deals from Papa John and Little Caesar, all in an effort to make the day very special. The game seldom if every lives up to the hype although as a casual fan I seem to remember some good games of late.

One thing about the game is the late start, it's kind of like waiting for the New Years Eve party. The hype started 2 weeks ago, the game starts at 6:30. Today as I watched a sports talk show, that had more commercial than talk, I noticed a pop up at the bottom of the screen, Spring Training 8 days! so let's get this party out of the way so that we can get on to things that remind me of spring, Baseball.

We might also do well to create 5 or 6 more of these pseudo-holiday feeding frenzies, as it is great for the economy!
