The Super Bowl

First comes Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, then comes the Super Bowl. It happens every year. Two teams compete for the ultimate bragging rights of saying they won the Super Bowl. Each previous year gets one upped by the next. The media and nation go crazy every year. The media follows the game and players so closely it feels like they write new articles every hour about the big game. The nation and fans get crazy involved by throwing parties and buying apparel to support their favorite teams regardless of the fact that you don’t even like either team in the game, you just bandwagon in hopes that you win the bet you made with your friend about the winning team. Sometimes the Super Bowl isn’t even defined by football. It’s defined by Doritos commercials and Beyonce. Lets be honest here, you chances are you don’t actually watch the Super Bowl for the touchdowns and stats on how many total yards run in each play or how many turnovers the team makes. It’s about the Go Daddy and Taco Bell commercials. It’s about that cheeseburger dip that Dad makes. The Super Bowl is about getting together with all of your friends and having a good time. The reason why the Super Bowl has gotten so popular and entertaining is because it’s become such huge social event across the entire country. There’s something in it for everyone. Moms and usually like the commercials the best, Dads like the football and food. Teens probably like a little bit of everything (but mostly food and Beyonce to be honest). The halftime show has been a favorite among almost everybody because of the multiple performers all mashed together in one short period of time. A lot of performers, current and older, seem to make an appearance at halftime at some point. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Spice Girls, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, Nelly, and Madonna just to name a few. Some years are better than others but I guess that really just depends on what kind of music you like best. The Super Bowl is only getting bigger and better and I am looking forward to this years game. I don’t have any predictions as far as which teams will make it since it’s super early in the season but whoever makes it there will have to earn it. “All earned. None given”, right? (409)
