How To Make Super Bowl XLVI More Interesting


I love watching football.  It doesn’t matter which teams are playing.  So the Super Bowl is a big deal for me.  My wife, on the other hand, would prefer to watch reruns of “Chopped” on The Food Network than any sporting event, ever.

It adds a fun little wrinkle to the biggest sporting event of the year that even those who don’t really care for the sport will enjoy.  Feel free to copy this sheet to play at your party. Just click the thumbnail picture to the left for the full sized pdf. Enjoy the game!
