The best (and worst) things about Super Bowl Sunday

Commercials

We already know the winner of the cutest commercial that will air tonight...

We have yet to crown the funniest, the most uncomfortable, the worst, and the most controversial. Among other categories.

Food

Of the 31 million views, 3 million of them are mine. 

Super Bowl Sunday is an obligatory excuse to make the most unhealthy of dips and dishes. According to the front page of USA Today, some 1.25 billion chicken wings will be eaten today. Too bad the majority of the country thinks Buffalo Wild Wings serves the best wings. It's only the lucky few in western New York who know what a real chicken wing is. So today, instead of cheating on my hometown and the food it invented, I'll be making chicken wing dip, a delicious yet humbling alternative.

The Walking Dead Marathon

Tune to AMC. That's all.

Football... all day

This can be good or bad, depending on how you see it. For me, I don't need to sit around for 12 hours leading up to kickoff watching repetitive coverage and what is called "analysis", but is actually just fact-based guessing, to enjoy the game.

No more football coverage 

I like a good football game as much as the next guy, but the coverage of NFL football has far surpassed the need for it. The analysis, the play-by-play, the fantasy games, the replays, the ex-football players talking about the glory days. It goes on and on. We will have to relive the Big Game on ESPN for the next week or so, but then it's officially the off-season and we will get to hear about other sports again!

Memes

Memes are always funny. Everybody tries to relate their product to an event using a meme. Super Bowl memes are everywhere. Pick your fave!

The annoying reasons people pick a team

I've already seen it: people who literally could care less about football picking a team for one reason or another. The color of their jerseys, an attractive person on the team, they flipped a coin and picked heads or tails. Whatever it is, it's only crazy if it doesn't work.

Predictions

I can't stand predictions. But I would feel left out if I didn't make one. I have had a strange feeling Seattle will win, but I'll be cheering on Peyton. Oh, and did you hear? Buffalo's going all the way next year.
