Millions of people will be spending this Sunday in front of their television to watch Super Bowl Sunday. Each person will watch for a slightly different reason. Some watch because they love football, some watch for the commercials, some watch because they have to, and some watch because it's tradition.
For this Sunday's Super Bowl between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, here are five reasons to tune in:
1. The football obviously: Some years, the game doesn't actually seem that exciting. This year however, the two top ranked teams in the National Football League will face off against each other. The New Orleans Saints are playing in their first ever Super Bowl, while the Indianapolis Colts are entering as the most dominant team in the past decade. Not to mention, you'll get to watch Peyton Manning and Drew Brees lead their respective teams on exciting drive after exciting drive.
2. The television commericals: This is another obvious answer, but this year you can expect a little more from the commercials. Of course their will be the cornerstone commercials from Godadday.com, Budweiser, and Bud Light, but this year you can also expect to see controversial commercials. Tim Tebow will appear in an anti-abortion commercial funded by Focus on the Family, and there is controversy swirling about the rejection of the Man Crunch commercial, from a gay dating website. Doritos is also said to have a hilarious commercial on the way.
3. Delicious food: Get rid of your New Years resolution for one day and EAT!! I'll be cooking up some slow-cooked ribs, chicken wings, and garlic bread. Just make sure you're ready for the gym Monday after work. It is one day each year, so feel free to dip your hand into a bag of chips, throw out the diet pop, and eat anything and everything that comes your way. There is nothing better than relaxing during half time with a delicious pizza.
4. The half time show: Speaking of half time, the mid-game show is another great reason to watch the game. This year, The Who is the entertainment. Personally, I haven't enjoyed a half time show since Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson ruined it for us all with the exposed breast episode. Many fans still anxiously await half time more than the actual in game action.
5. Time with friends and family: Last but not least, the Super Bowl offers sports fans, and even those who despise the game, with a unique opportunity to forget life, forget the economy, forget work and school, and to spend time together. Cheer, laugh, place friendly bets, and relax. This is one day when you don't have to worry about the rigours of the world. Just find a few good friends, a television, and a comfortable couch, and you've got the perfect recipe for an unforgettable Super Bowl Sunday.
Amen
