The Super Bowl

Super Bowl Sunday is always one of my favorite days of the year. My family and I, and maybe a couple friends, get to sit around watching a great game while my mom serves us plate after plate of delicious "football food." As I watched the Colts succumb to Drew Brees and the Saints, I couldn't help but notice all the argot Peyton Manning uses when calling audibles on the field. It makes no sense at all to any of the viewers, but it perfectly clear to the players. My dad and I didn't help to allay my brother's frustration after his favorite team just lost the game. What is sometimes the most interesting about the Super Bowl is that the commercials can beguile viewers because of their reputation for being much funnier than usual. But while it's fun while it lasts, we all seem to feel like amorphous blobs after the game because of all the food we just devoured.
