have NFL stickers on their cars and a couple of team flags on either side. And for laughs I tune into sports talk radio. The callers take it so fucking serious I have to laugh.
We go to the beach instead of sitting on the couch watching the big game. My wife and I make a joke out of the fact that "we are missing the big game." Shopping during the Super Bowl is nice too.
