Super Bowl Alternatives for Families

Posted by Karen Murphy

football charlie brownIf you're like me, you're one of the approximately 136 million people who aren't going to watch the game.  So what are you going to do?

1.  Shopping.  With all that testosterone busy cramming Buffalo wings into its collective mouth, there's plenty of room to spread out in the aisles of your favorite home improvement store, whose employees will likely be very happy to help you buy a lawn tractor or snow blower. Or anything.

2.  Animal Planet's "Puppy Bowl III". Be sure not to miss the kitten half-time show.

3.  See a movie.  Again, short lines make this an attractive option.

But what if you want to fake it, and seem like "one of the guys" come Monday morning, without having to be subjected to watching big guys in lots of padding jumping all over each other and running around in seeming random directions?  

1.  Since it's all about the commercials, you can watch them here on Sunday.  Or go here now for a preview.

2.  If you're serious about faking it, watch just the first half quarter, then have a look at ESPN.com before you go in to work Monday, and you'll likely have enough to go on.  Trust me, hardly anyone will notice (they'll be too hung over).

We are watching the game and taping Puppy Bowl, just like we did last year.  And last year, we didn't even have a kid!  We're just odd, I think.

We plan to take advantage of the neutron-bomb-like emptiness of D.C. on Super Bowl Sunday.

(And now that I've used the phrase "neutron-bomb" within five words of "D.C." I'm sure I'm on a list.)
