As we have read in the good book over the course of our lives, we have learned of a certain tale in which a divine presence creates the entire universe in just 6 days. On the last day, the day known as the Sabbath, the big guy decided that it was time to take a rest from his duties. However, he found this to be a problem- he was bored on Sunday and therefore needed something to do. It was then that he declared in front of the newly created planet, “Let there be football” and all was good. The world rejoiced at his creation; this is why we have Sundays. Finally, out of the goodness of his heart, he made one of the best decisions in the history of mankind: the creation of the Super Bowl, a mighty battle of the brawn between two of the nation’s greatest teams in the NFL. To many, the Super Bowl is much more than just an event; it’s a way of life, and my family is no exception to this lifestyle. Be afraid, blog friends, be very afraid of how our clan celebrates the greatest sporting event in the history of the mankind.
