10 Reasons to watch the Super Bowl this year....

I know that not everyone is a football fan, but let's face it, there are still a bunch of reasons to watch the game anyway. I will give my pick on the game early next week, but until then have fun with this.

10) Super Bowl prop bets: You don't have to place a wager with a sports book in Vegas to have fun with some of the weirdest bets on the planet. Challenge your friends to a shot of your favorite soft drink or perhaps a buck or two. Here are a couple of my favorite prop bets.

Coin toss: Heads or tails.
Temperature at the start of the game.
Who will score first.
What color will the Gatorade be that gets dumped on the head coach of the winning team.
Who will win the MVP of the game.
Who will score more points, LeBron James or the winning team.

You get the idea. Make some prop bets up for yourself if nothing else but for entertainment.

9) Story lines within the game: Whisenhunt vs. his old team. Will Anquan Boldin blowup again? Can the worst team to ever make the playoffs win the game?

8) Bruce Springsteen is a very good reason to watch the halftime show.

7) National Anthem: Listen to what should be an amazing rendition of the star spangled banner. ((Jennifer Hudson) a touching story in and of itself).

6) Curt Warner: How will he handle the onslaught of the Pittsburgh Steeler's blitzing defense, and does he have anything left in the tank to take this team to the winner's circle?

5) GoDaddy.com commercial: Will GoDaddy.com feature another commercial that features a wardrobe malfunction that will keep you hitting the rewind button on your TiVo all night long?

4) The food: You can't beat the artery clogging goodies that are going to be available to chow on while you root for your favorite team.

3) The hangover: Please be careful while indulging in your favorite libation during the game, but let's face it. The Monday following the Super Bowl should be declared a national sickout day.

2) Friends: Chances are you do not get to spend that much time with your friends, and what better way then to watch a game, having a couple of cold ones, and playing a pick up game of touch in the backyard.

1) Commercials: Let's face it, it is the one reason we all watch the football game to begin with. We can only hope that they are better this year.

Enjoy the game, be careful and for God's sake.......don't invite your boss to your party. You wouldn't want to vomit on his new Porsche.

Has anyone seen an updated copy of my resume?


Ahhh....the beauty of consuming bean dip within the confines of a small crowded space.
