10 Point Plan for Superbowl
So, you doing a Super Bowl party, right? Assuming you’re a normal American, you’ll probably be watching the teams duke it out for NFL superiority. Most likely with friends, and definitely with refreshments.
But everyone has been to that sporting event boring enough to lose the attention battle to an iPhone. It happens. Just don’t let it happen during the biggest game of the year. Adhering to the following 10 suggestions should help.
And, as always is always the case around these parts, leave your own suggestions in the comments.
1. Use Two Big TVs (Or One 4K)
The Super Bowl should be about exuberance. About committing to some stupid television set-up that would look absurd on any other day of the year. Because, let’s be real: the only thing cooler to watch sports on than a 50 inch TV is two 50 TVs. Bonus points if your blood is rich enough for a 4K.
2. Have a Solid Potluck / Catering Balance
If you put a lot of effort into having friends over, you shouldn't have put that much effort into providing food. Let the rest of your friends figure out what sides to bring and what food to order. Because, remember: you are the awesome friend that has the tv.
3. Have a Solid Team
You should be enjoying the game, not worrying about if your friends got enough food or if they need another beer. Hire Y.E.S., our team will make sure you have a full beer in your hands and the food is replenshed when needed.
4. Possess Plenty of Beer
Or whiskey. Or wine. Or water. Or coffee. Or whatever your vice might be. Similar to the food, the last thing that anybody wants at a party id to feel like they got dicked over with expenses. Just don't be that guy who snakes all of the good beers from the sampler pack WITHOUT BRINGING ANYTHING.
5. Don't let anyone Ruin the Game
OMG, ARIZONA IS ABOUT TO SCORE AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY CHATTING ON THE PHONE? WHO ARE YOU TO DEPRIVE US OF FOOTBALL? GO TAKE IT OUTSIDE....
Seriously, there's a little worse than having to pay attention to anything else than what's on TV. Obviously friends are going to talk, but That Guy Who Talks To Loud (dad) needs to be held in check.
6. Keep a Clean Place
If you're hosting, obviously clean up before hand, and know that you're probably going to be on post game clean-up duty alone (unless you hire Y.E.S. to do it for you). Don't expect more than one or two hero friends to assist whatever dishes need to be cleaned.
7. Gamble.
Nothing serious - because, uhh, gambling is illegal - but it's always fun to put a couple of wagers on the game, whether they be based on a single player or the game's final outcome. And commercials can be in play, too, like which fast food restaraunt will get their 30 second spot aired first?
Speaking of commercials...
8. Respect the Advertising and The Halftime Show
There really are people out there who watch the Super Bowl for every reason but the actual game. The halftime show and the new commercials might seem a bit unimportant to the football fans out there, but enough girlfriends and mothers have gotten mad for the guys trying to change the channel during down time.
9. Make an Exit Strategy
When's the last time anybody ever actually wanted to go home after The Super Bowl ended? Your adrenaline is soaring, even if your team didn't play. Go find a bar or something. Or reminisce about the game.
10. Pay Up.
Or collect your winnings. If you won, congrats! If you lost, grab a tissue, and better luck next time!
