Non-Football Fans Guide to Superbowl 58  So a lot, if not most, of the people attending Superbowl parties this year are not going to be football fans. You've either gone for free food or have been reluctantly dragged along and will take part in this strange American tradition with football playing in on the background. There's nothing wrong with treating it like that, football is a weird game the main purpose of which is to allow men to not think about their emotions.  But!

But for the next 4 (or 4 1/2, should overtime come) hours, you've gotta blend in and let em buy that you're "one of them". Any successful operation requires background intelligence, and that's why I wrote this for you, comrade .  Why didn't you write one of these last year? You mean Superbowl XV? You actually went  to a party to celebrate that hunk o junk garbage ass trash can ass dumpster diver dishwasher disposal waste reclamation center parody of a football game? That shit was ass! Why did anyone subject themselves to it? There would've been nothing to talk about anyways. That game was the equivalent of watching The Hobbit  trilogy and then following it up with a second viewing of The Hobbit trilogy.  Pictured: Tom Brady systematically picking apart Kansas City's defense Who's playing this year?
