SUPER BOWL TRIVIA

"Hey!  Ya'll want to come over for a Super Bowl party Sunday night?" Bev didn't have to ask twice.  We didn't even have to think about it.  Of course we'll be there!  

The guys are stoked about the game.  Even my Canadian son-in-law, Dave, said, "I'm so excited about this game."  So are his sons.  We ladies are probably more focused on just being together.  Oh yeah. . .and the food.  Oh yeah. . .and the commercials.  I've already seen a TV show this week devoted to the best of those over the years.

I  also read a few tidbits to file under Super Bowl Trivia.  You might entertain your guests with some of these factoids.
