    Anti-Sports Party

    Gather To Watch Something Else

    Do you take advantage of all the snack sales, and gather all your best friends to marathon something like "Gilmore Girls" or whatever else is the opposite of the Super Bowl is.

    These might be the same people that get together for Anti-Valentine's Day parties too.

    Football Time!

    Playing Rather Than Watching

    This follows the theme of the anti-sports partyies, but maybe instead of "watching" football on TV, you'll actually be playing football with some friends.

    Yeah ... We're pretty sure nobody on Earth does this. Let us know if we're wrong.

    Game Night

    Anything Other Than Football

    Get the chips, get the sodas, and get the board games out because it is game night while the world watches sports ball or whatever it's called!

    The Commercials

    The "Superbowl" of the Ad World

    Maybe you'll have the game on, but you're really just interested to see the Ad agencies step up their game 100 fold for this very special time of year.

    Although nowadays, you can find all the new ads on the internet without having to sit through the game.

    The Halftime Show

    Big Stars, Great Music, Meme Potential

    You don't want to go into the office the Monday after the Superbowl, and not know what everyone is talking about, right?

    Some folks tune into the big game each year not for the game, not for the ads, but just to see the headliner of the halftime show.

    Each year has to be bigger and better, and when the event has uh-oh moments that fall flat ... the internet magnifies it and turns it into a viral topic of which they refuse to let go.

    Making Bets

    Risky Business

    Will you be looking for a place to hide if "your team" doesn't win this year? 'Nuff said.

    Pigging Out

    Showing Up For The Snacks

    Maybe you're going to an actual Superbowl party, where your friends will be huddled together talking about the game, the ads, and the halftime show, but you'll be focused on one thing ... Stuffing your face with as much snacks and beer as possible.

    It's a long time til payday, and those potatoes made to look like tiny footballs aren't going to eat themselves.

    Actually Watching The Game

    With or Without Friends

    Are you one for the many that actually care about the football aspect of the Superbowl? Or, perhaps, you're one of the bandwagon fans that jumped on board at the last second, because "your team" is at the big game? Where were you last season...? Oh, that's right, you were cheering for last year's super bowl champion. I digress...

    Let us know what upsets you most about all the non fans hyping up literally everything other than what the reason of the season is all about.
