Blogging The Boys
Here is a fun game sheet to play with throughout the Super Bowl.
The Dallas Cowboys are not in the Super Bowl. Again.
It’s a sad time of year for us loyal faithfuls as we sit around with our friends and pretend to have a rooting interest in the big game. With the Philadelphia Eagles playing in it, many of us do have a rooting interest as nothing would pain us more than seeing those fellas in green win their second Super Bowl. Super ick.
Of course, the alternative is rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs, a team many people are sick of. Similar to the New England Patriots, the Chiefs are gaining notoriety as the team nobody wants to see win again unless you are specifically a Chiefs fan. Another win for them would make three in a row and give them four total, one shy of Cowboys five Super Bowl wins. As you can see, picking a team to root for is quite the conundrum.
While rooting for a particular team might be unpleasant, there is still a way to have an enjoyable Super Bowl experience on Sunday, and this is by playing this year’s Super Bowl Challenge game sheet.
If you’re a veteran at BTB, you’ve seen this game sheet before as we’ve published it each year over the last 10 years. This game sheet was created to enhance our game-watching experience by expanding the choices we have to root for. Yes, you can still pick a winner, but what about picking which player has the longest receiving play? Who will score the first rushing touchdown? Or will there be a touchdown of 50 yards or more? There are many game questions to keep you and your guests interested.
And if you’re more interested in non-football stuff, there’s a little something for you too. You can guess how long it will take for Jon Batiste to sing the National Anthem, which commercial will air first, or which song Kendrick Lamar will sing first during the halftime show.
Each question is weighted differently to emphasize the football stuff more. People can make a contest out of it for their own party and put together a prize pool for the winners. Whatever floats your boat. Once you play this game, it will become a mainstay of your Super Bowl party.
Enjoy... and go Chiefs!
