S uper Bowl parties are the first hype that ruins the game. Where there are tailgates and big screen televisions, there are always Super Bowl parties. People party there all night long. The loud music and the people talking usually drown out the game. They drink and eat and smoke as long as the supplies hold out.
Nobody seriously watches the game.
It was never off, but nobody else watched it. We, instead, played games, ate snacks, and drank drinks. We were all more caught up in the party than in the game. T he parties are extremely overhyped, but the extra game activities are hyped even more. First, we actually watched the half-time show, even though we were not watching the game.
