Well, with “THE BIG GAME” coming up, I figured we should come up with some drinking game rules. Even for those of us who don’t drink.  
Drinks - Event  
1 - Announcer says Brady may be the best ever  
1 - Archie Manning shown  
1 - Gratuitous shot of the Lombardi trophy  
1 - Movie ad that shows just the action, nothing about plot  
1 - Anything about Tom Brady playing hurt  
1 - Skycam makes play impossible to follow  
2 - Archie Manning talks on air  
3 - Misuse of “end around, reverse, or double-reverse”  
3 - Showing a player’s girlfriend  
4 - Mention of Jessica Simpson  
4 - Archie Manning favors Payton over Eli

20 - Halftime wardrobe malfunction

What do you all have to add?

I’d like to add any “good interview” moments:

- “the game is 60 minutes and we have to play all of them”
- “ultimate respect for them”
- “just want to help the team”
- etc.

ETA minus points for any reference to American Idol! (enough, already!)

“Superb Owl” was, doubtlessly, chosen to stave off the NFL’s legal eagles. My, what sharp, beady little eyes they have, too!

When announcers mention:

1- When playing against a team like \_\_\_\_\_ (NE/NYG) you can’t make a mistake like that.  
1- Turnovers are key in this game  
4- There must be “incontrovertable” video evidence to overturn the call on the field.  
1- That was blown coverage.  
1- The offensive coordinator has no “3rd and 14” plays in his playbook  
2- That last play makes it a more “manageable” third down.

More to come…
