Women go all ape shit and wear their favorite jerseys and some even paint their faces. Ideally, you have equal number of fans from both teams, to keep things interesting. There is eating and drinking galore.

This weekend I'm getting together with my brothers and other family members, with all the beer and food we can come up with. We got more 49er fans than Raven fans... but there are still some of both.

The sadness is because after the game it's all over until preseason in late August or September (which I never watch), and then the season opener sometime in September. The period directly following the Super Bowl is especially dead (in the U.S., anyway), and since I'm not much of an NBA fan... that doesn't leave much.

I just hope the game is good. Halftime should be more interesting than in recent years, since it's Beyonce performing. Let's hope for some skimpy clothing and maybe a wardrobe malfunction or two.

Go 49ers!!!
Wow Tito, I didn't know the Superbowl was such a big thing in PR. These days I don't keep up with the NFL like I used to, the last Superbowls I had any interest in were the 2 Eli Manning and the N.Y. Giants won. I might tune in just long enough to see who's winning in the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter, but I really have little interest in seeing the Ravens vs. San Francisco. As for Beyonce, I don't care much for her or that type of music.
Sorry bro, I guess i'm not much fucking fun am I.
