Ode to Super Bowl Sunday

To my brethren who struggle to get through the six days a week that wearing a jersey is deemed socially unacceptable, this is your holiday…

To everyone who believes that the holiest place to be on a Sunday is a sports bar with NFL Sunday Ticket and multiple flat screens TVs, this is your holiday…

To my coworkers who preemptively called in sick the following Monday anticipating a hangover and a lack of sleep, this is your holiday…

To the die-hard sports lovers who cringe when you hear someone say, “I’m really just watching it for the commercials,” this is your holiday…

To the gambling men who spent your last five dollars on the hope that the randomly assigned numbers in your square will match the final score, this is your holiday…

To the early birds who consider sitting in a giant cold parking lot and drinking beer with men you hardly know an ideal way to start a Sunday morning, this is your holiday…

To the impatient fans who think two weeks is way too long to wait for the greatest game of the year, this is your holiday…

To the savvy shoppers who plan on trying to return your new HDTV at full price after only one use, this is your holiday…

To the overconfident couch potatoes who could do a better job coaching your team than the “bum” who currently gets paid millions to, this is your holiday…

To the loyal viewers who think four and a half ours of pregame just isn’t quite enough coverage, this is your holiday…

To the hungry men who have changed your diets for your ladies, but promise today there will be no fruits or vegetables! This is your holiday!

Raise your glasses sports fans. Today young men will become great men and great men will become legendary. This is Super Bowl Sunday, and this is our holiday!

Sports Addict's Prediction: Colts 31 Saints 24.
