Super Bowl Sunday is almost here. On day game you’re probably either hosting or heading to a party. Super Bowl Sunday is considered by many a national holiday, and you know the holiday’s well they bring out all sorts of folk. Here’s a bit of a primer for the types you will likely encounter.
The Guy Who Bet the Rent
He’s taking the game waaay too seriously. He brought more than a few boxes in the office pool. He’s facetiming with his bookie and probably playing with the mortgage money. How do you know who he is? If he beats the spread he’s hugging people like the game is already over, but its not.
The Women
Usually the wives or girlfriends. They are really there because the other wives and girlfriends are. For them party is the operative word, the Super Bowl just gets in the way. They want to see the commercials and/or half-time show, drink, nosh on food and make inane comments about the game. What inning is it again?
The Kid(s)
He/she does not want to be there, but their folks refused to spring for child care. They’ll eat, but spend the rest of their time in their mobile device. They will beg their folks to leave right after the game. And if mom or dad isn’t too blasted, they will win that round.
The Disgruntled Purist
He knows the game, he knows the stats, he can read defenses and offensive routes better than the coaching staff. He’d rather watch the game all alone so as not be disturbed, but because the wife or girlfriend, the know-it-all, or one of the rest of the personalities he had no choice on attending.
