So you’re thinking about going to a pub to watch the Super Bowl, not because you’re a huge football fan, but because you know there will be a lot of eye candy at the bar. It’s a “target rich environment”, as Dr. Phil would say.
You know squat about football but you want to be able to make some kind of sports related conversation. Here’s what you do. You talk “side bets”. In his article for Esquire – a man bible of sorts – Steve Mazzucchi recommends a few side bets to make things fun and to help the game fly by. Here are our favorites:
How long will it take Carrie Underwood to sing the national anthem?
Over/under = 1 minute 42 seconds. (Last year, Jennifer Hudson was timed at 2 minutes 3 seconds.)
How many times will CBS show Bourbon Street during the game?
Over/under = 2
How many times will CBS announcers mention Hurricane Katrina during the game?Over/under = 2
What will the result of the Super Bowl XLIV Coin Toss be?
How many times will the cameras will cut to Kim Kardashian?
Over/under = 3
And for all you fashionistas, what color top will Kim be wearing?
Who will the Super Bowl MVP thank first? God. Family. Teammates. Coach.
Super Bowl XLIV is expected to start Sunday, February 7, 2010 @ 6:25pm ET (3:25 PST, 5:25 Central) on CBS.
*Awesome*!!!
Let’s see–my bets:
1) Carrie’s pretty rhythm conscious, I’m voting 1.56.
2)CBS will flash Bourbon street 0 times
3) However they’ll mention Hurricaine Katrina 7 times.
4) Coin toss = Saints
5) Cutting to Kim twice, Kendra once
6) She’ll be wearing her man’s team colours maybe black/gold/white?
7) MVP definitely thank god first!
