Super Bowl Success


By now you've heard that there is a football game going on this weekend. As mentioned earlier, this a great opportunity to get together with friends. A party if you will. However, when it comes to being throwing a super bowl party you want to come out looking like a hero, not a goat (compare post football careers of John Elway vs Scott Norwood, wish I didn't have to go there). So here's some helpful guidelines to throwing a championship party.

Obvious:

Stock your fridge: The Super Bowl is a great excuse to eat a ton, maybe even better than one that Thanksgiving, depending on your tastes. So you gotta make sure there is enough chow for everyone at your throw down would be able to pound 687 servings of everything. And if you suck at cooking, you must order in. Just because others will be around doesn't mean it's time to experiment, so just like the former high school tight end who's now 300 lbs. and thinks he can still get play, leave it to the pros. To wash it down, make sure you have a variety of beverages (for the adults and the kiddies). Also, don't be shy about opening up the liquor cabinet. However, if someone get's too sloppy, then it could ruin your party. Just ask Mike and Mike.

Step your TV game up: With the drastic improvements in televisions over the past few years, if you don't have anything bigger than at the very least 36 inches (but still kinda iffy) then don't throw a party. [Important to note at this point: you and two of your closest homies is not one] Anyway, make sure your step that TV game up to at least something LCD or Plasma. Style points if it hangs on a wall.

More Subtle:

I know you want to floss your place to everyone, but make sure shit doesn't get too out of control. You should know everyone that steps in your place, and that doesn't include people your boys say are cool. I know this sounds harsh, but really you don't know them. Sure, they might be great people, but watching football and great people don't always mix. For example, people come by and bring friends but there friends (losers) care more about what's on the discover channel than the game. Then what happens is they either (1) stay silent the whole time then it becomes wierd or (2) try to bring up some shit no one gives damn about, such as the calorie count in your mouth full of cheetos.

When it comes to females (they always get in the door) but you have to make sure their down with football first. You don't want some rebel girl bringing up High School musical and getting the other chicks who used to be down all catty. If this happens, send them to the kitchen to dish- the game is on.

Topping it Off

If your looking to take your party to the next level, what's better than making things interesting. A few small wagers on the game are always fun. So break out the squares or simply place bets on what you think might happen (a qb sack this drive etc.). This way, even if the game is snooze, you'll be wide awake because the cash is flowing. You don't think they do this MJ's house?

Follow these instructions and you too could throw a championship style party this Super Bowl.
