Friend is doing the standard sb party. A lot of people in a small space, really good chili, lots of beer. Already made plans to come in Monday afternoon. ---

My wife will watch it. I’ll be in the other room, watching\* Law and Order\* reruns. Or something. ---

I’m going fly fishing in the Shenandoah National Park. I think I might have the entire river to myself. On the drive home I’ll say to myself, oh right there’s some kind of game today. ---

I will run with my drinking club with a running problem group in the afternoon and then watch the Superbowl at the host’s apartment. ---

I haven’t watched since 1981 (and has skipped several years before that when I was working for Spencer Gifts\*). A few years ago, we were looking for a date to hold a convention committee meeting and agreed we all could make it Super Bowl Sunday (and wouldn’t watch the game). This year, I’ll probably watch a movie. \*Who always did inventory on Super Bowl Sunday, starting when the mall closed at 5:00. :rolleyes: ---

I do what I always do - sit at home alone, watch the game, and try to time dinner so it’s during halftime. ---

Having a few neighbors over; burgers, chili, beer, et cetera. Don’t really follow sports much myself, but it’s a good excuse for a party. Just remembered I have to hook up the rabbit ears to the TV, too. Hate to forget that little detail (again) :smack: ---

Our local sports bar’s Super Bowl party has been getting crazier and crazier each year: squares games, fifty-fifty draws, door prizes, and a few hundred people, many of whom are loaded by halftime. Too many distractions; the game is almost an afterthought. My buddy and I actually want to see the game, so this year, we will be heading off to a bar that has no plans for any kind of celebration. It does, however, have cold beer on tap, and good food. ---

this year was ribs and munchies. Next year I’m building a time machine so I can go back and watch something else. The game sucked, the commercials sucked, and the half time sucked. ---

Should have cooked a turkey. A big dose of tryptophan would have made the game more tolerable. ---
