I'm of the belief that the day after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday. Not only because football has far surpassed baseball as this country's true pastime, but also because some of us may need a day of, err, recovery.
You see, the Super Bowl isn't just a physical challenge for the players in the game. It's also a physical challenge for us fans. True football fiends are expected to eat as many buffalo wings/burgers/hot dogs/racks of ribs as they can possibly fit in their stomachs while also enjoying one or seven adult beverages. Everyone does it differently.
If you're looking to add an extra level of competitiveness to your Super Bowl Sunday, here is the ultimate Patriots vs. Seahawks drinking game.
Take one drink every time...
-The announcers mention "DeflateGate"
-The camera cuts to Bill Belichick looking sullen
-Pete Carroll pumps his fist while wearing a goofy grin on his face
-Marshawn Lynch trucks a would-be tackler
-Tom Brady loses his mind on the sidelines
Take two drinks every time...
-Cris Collinsworth makes an unfunny joke during the broadcast
-"Russell Wilson" and "intangibles" are mentioned in the same sentence
-Richard Sherman picks off a pass
-Darrelle Revis picks off a pass
-Your drunk friends start hurling insults at the opposing team
Chug every time...
-A car commercial is aired
-The camera shows celebrities in the crowd
-Tom Brady yells at his offensive line after a sack
-Russell Wilson completes a pass of 30 yards or more
-Rob Gronkowski does something "Gronk" like (this is up to the drinker's discretion)
Remember, most importantly, to be safe and have fun. That's what Super Bowls are for.
