Know your sport: The Super Bowl for dummies

By

It’s that time of year again – sitting around with loved ones, stuffing your palette with regrettable choices and screaming obscenities and commanding death to others. Nope, not Christmas part zwei. It’s Super Bowl season!

Abandon ship or abandon all hope

Man overboard! It’s all the rage these days, like dubstep or planking. It’s so booming that even the captain of the ship is jumping for joy, or for his own greedy safety.

This year, fellow multimedia reporter Jordan Reed and I braved the mild Michigan snowfall and its incompetent drivers to the Cobo Center, where they all gather to pick their next car to drive insipidly slow at the first sign of wintry wrath.

It is my opinion that there is no more artful or logical a rebuttal to an argument than a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire.

I’m sure most of you reading this enjoyed your restful and relaxing vacations by traveling, visiting friends and getting lots of sleep. I, on the other hand, had a different experience.
