I don't know if you noticed it, but there was a football game last night. Actually, a pretty good one if you like that sort of thing. And if you're a NY Giants fan, you have to be pretty happy today.
On the other hand, the advertising left much to be desired. The Doritos Great Dane and Betty White won hands down for humor, but there wasn't much competition.
And oh. my. god. did we eat like pigs!
Yesterday, if you think about it, was the embodiment of the most American: Sports competition in a sport that, for all intents and purposes, is played only here. (Do NOT comment about Australia or Europe. Seriously.) Lots of chips, dips, sloppy joes, buffalo wings, and crappy beer. Tons of commercials. especially about cars and beer. Cheesy high-production musical performance. More food. And beer.
So, the Super Bowl is America; the Giants won the Super Bowl; the Giants are America.

I had a huge hangover after the game. Not because of the beer I guzzled, but because watching the super bowl is like eating 500 packs of Now and Laters. A coma is inevitable.
