Super Bowl Sunday, America's Biggest Holiday

As I sit back today for another Super Bowl Sunday, I look back and see just how big of a deal this game is. Not just to me, but to America. It's not just a game, its a party, a gathering, a time for families, friends, and colleagues to gather for arguably their biggest party of the year. How is it that one game has transformed the country into lockdown mode for a few hours on a Sunday evening? I get that America is in a recession and we keep losing jobs, but if you can really tell me that Barack Obama isn't sitting in the White House kicked back enjoying the greatest game on Earth, I'll give you 100 bucks.

I know we have Christmas and Thanksgiving and plenty of other holidays in between, but to me, Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest holiday in this country. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do and if you don't, well get a life. So as kickoff approaches in about a hour, I'm going to sit back, eat my $8.99 50 piece chicken mcnuggets, crack open a Heinken Light, and spark an Ellington (or four), and enjoy the greatest game in the world on America's favorite holiday in hopes that you will be doing the same. I'm feelin kinda Sunday, GO CARDS!!
