Superbowl Sunday for the Non-Football Fans

Because it is unacceptable in the U.S. to not participate in festivities surrounding the Superbowl, we joined a small gathering at a friend's house.

Let's call the friends - Coach and Queen B. Coach is a HUGE HUGE HUGE sports fan. Pretty much any sport. And Superbowl Sunday? Yeah - its a national holiday for him. Poor man. He really must re-think his Superbowl Party invitation list.

Attending:
His wife - Queen B. Interest in sports? Less than zero.
His kids - Mighty Max and Princess? Yup - prefer X-box..
Wenderina - Gave up football at last Buffalo Bills loss and has never looked back.
Hubby - Knows his football, but is happier with a book, his paints, or a computer.
Britania 1 & 2 - British couple whose definition of football involves a checkered ball and games that result in a 1-0 score.
Brit Kids - Up playing X-box with the others

Things you don't usually see at your typical Superbowl Party:

1. Politics and Philosophy discusion (Hubby and Britania 1)
2. Cooking Light Recipe Swap (Queen B and Britania 1)
3. Kitchen Gossip - for 2 quarters of play (Wenderina, Queen B, Britania 2)
4. Snoozing Guest- Wenderina - 3rd quarter
5. Quirky Comments like "What's his name? Human Urine" Queen B re: Umenyiora
6. People who really don't care who wins or loses (and arrived at party not knowing which teams were even playing!).
7. People who need to have a box pool explained to them.

Well, we still had a great time - but I'm sure at some point Coach deteremined he would much prefer real fans to attend his party next year.
