SuperBowl XLV Frenzy Rules to choose a team and why? The system of football

When I think of the Super bowl, I think of high impact and tight-ends breaking rushing yard plays that will razzle and dazzle you for weeks on end. The Super bowl is the beginning of the end! Super-Bowl, not a bowl of healthy cereal, but a stadium filled the glorious fans and two football teams (Packers and Steelers) that will face each other in the biggest game of the season. If you’re team didn’t make it, then too bad, because there’s next season. :0) Now I’m not one for football and I don’t know all the detailed stats, but there has to be a system in place that you use to judge what team will win. Am I right?
Rules:
Root for the underdogs, unless you don’t like the quarterback
If you’re into fantasy football, choose the team with the best players and stats. Wait a min you’re wagon jumping. Someone will call you out.
Challenge your knowledge of a team’s play by anticipating the next one, if you know the team well enough.
If you are a real fan, pretend that you are a football player and run into the wall with shoulder pads (helmets are optional). It will not hurt until after impact.
Gray Areas:
Choose the team that your spouse chooses, whether NFC or AFC. You have no choice on this one.
If your boss is rooting for a team, go along with it, but in your mind you want his team to lose.
Smile when someone says “Your team has no chance.” Then politely pour mustard on their shirt. They will not thank you for it.
If you’re team is winning, but you are having doubts, continue to root for them. You get boasted if they lose.
Fallacies
If your team deserves to win and they don’t, shame on you
If your team conducts a face mask on the last play of the game, shame on them
If your team’s quarterback sucks, then shame on him
If your team is the Green Bay Packers, then your team will win! (Bows)
This commercial is intended for mature audiences….Lol. Thank you.

I loved this! When I think of Superbowl I think party! A couple we know throws a party each year. I booked off work for the big occassion. Not much for football but here are my rules: Get a front row seat in front of the big screen. (which is no easy task). Closely watch the pre-game show so I know who's who. Determine the underdog and cheer for them, (hopefully louder than anyone else) Be the first on the dancefloor during half-time Have an ample supply of beverages ready and enjoy all the food I regret eating later. Good times! That's what football means to me. :)So Green Bay Packers eh James? We shall see!I'm glad you enjoyed the article. The Superbowl is super indeed. I look forward to watching the commercials too. Hopefully there are some good ones this year. As for rules, I made these up with only slightly truth. The underdogs are exactly what they are - underdogs. They need lifting up and cheers to win. I will also get hammered for this occasion. It's the only time you can truly get wasted without a shout of a doubt.... Lol!Okay James, just for the record, I didn't say I would be getting 'hammered'! Not that there's anything wrong with that. lol Have a great night!Got it.:)
Spoken like a true "Cheese Head." Not having a dog in this fight, it ought to be a good one. I'll go rock, paper, scissors on this one and say that the steel hammer smashes the cheese stick.:-)LOL....that was good. I choose the rock. It is hard, heavy, and crushes steelers - I mean scissors. :0)
