I am a huge football fan. Forgive me soccer fans, I still shorten "American football" to merely "football". Until I have another conscience raising, that is what I will call it.
Anyway, we always have a big shindig here for superbowl and this year will be no different. There are about 20-25 people coming over. One of the difficulties is getting enough chairs for everyone to place their fannies. In years past we have accommodated everyone by having stadium seating and getting more than one tv displaying the game. This year we have new furniture so we won't have stadium seating and I didn't want to go through the trouble of setting up the extra tv. I guess the 42 incher will have to be enough. :)
As far as food goes, I have prepared some river Rat chili. Yes, it is a little spicy, but should be ok for the people who attend. I need to try it today and make sure it is alright. Everyone else is going to bring a side dish. There is going to be fruit, veggies, bacon wrapped shrimp, pizza rolls and super meaty cheese dip. It should be a culinary delight!
As with every superbowl party there are a few people who don't really watch the game. Sometimes this is a surprise. I remember a few years back when two of my best friends stayed in the kitchen - they could still see the game from their location - and drank all of my tequila. When I speak of tequila, I don't speak lightly. It is one of my favorite drinks: not mixed, diluted or otherwise ritualized to some shooter's dream. No, I like my tequila straight. I like to sip it. One shot of tequila should last you about 15 minutes. My favorites include Patron, Don Julio, Herradura, Tres Generaciones. Depending on the time of year I prefer silver to gold. But I digress. In order to get the most involvment of those at the party I like to make a list people can bet on if they wish. Here is the list I have come up with so far.
Firsts:
Who will win the coin toss?
Who will get the first First Down?
Which team will score first?
Will it be by Touchdown or Fieldgoal?
Will it be by Pass, Run or Kick?
Who will have the first 20 yard reception?
Which team’s running back will have 100 yards?
Which quarterback will throw for more than 300 yards?
Which team will have the first penalty?
Which head coach will be caught on camera swearing?
What will the first commercial DURING the game be about?
Qantifiy:
What is the total score after the first half?
What is the total score at the end?
How long will the final 2 minutes take?
This probably isn't the final list since my friend will probably have a few additions. Hey! It is still only 8:30 am, so we have lots of time.

We didn't drink the whole bottle dammit. There was at least two shots left.
