Today is the BIG day for football fans - and I mean American football not soccer. The game is between the Pittsburgh Steelers vs the Green Bay Packers if you don't already know that!
Quite frankly, I do not care for the sport *blasphemy - ducks for cover!* but I do want to be involved in the water cooler conversations. I need a crash course on basic football rules/plays etc etc! I have a few hours to go! If I don't grasp the lessons quick enough, here are the main reasons I will be tuning in to watch the game:
To watch Christina Aguilera belt out the national anthem! The girl can blow! Also, Lea Michele from Glee will be singing America the Beautiful. Score one for pop culture!!
The commercials! I know I am not alone in this! Let's see what commercials will be the funniest, odd or just plainly pointless! For the price tag companies pay for air time, the ads better be good enough to make an impact!
Half-time performance - since the nipple gate incident with Janet Jackson, the NFL has been playing it very safe by giving us some snooze worthy performances! We've all had a case of the blahs!! But fret not - i think the NFL listened to the resounding complains!! This year, The Black Eyed Peas are slated to perform!! Usher was recently added to the list! You are guaranteed to get high-energy performances from the two!
Lastly but certainly not least, a new episode of Glee debuts right after the game. Today's episode will be an ode to the King of pop - the one the only, Michael Jackson! Fox is hoping to keep the massive audience from the game to trickle on to the show.
Honorable mention - How can I miss a super bowl party where someone is providing the food, drinks, trash talking galore and the comradeship? I am not such a football snob after all! May the best team win!
