10 Reasons Non-Sports Fans Love The Super Bowl
Sports Media 101

While many people are hyped to watch the Super Bowl for the actual athletics involved, there are many of us out there that enjoy the game for some very unrelated to Football reasons.

1. The singing of the national anthem.

We’ve been blessed with Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood, and more greats in the past. This year we’ve been given the incredible Luke Bryan.

2. The commercials.

Advertisers pay big money to get their commercials aired during the Super Bowl and this often leads to new and exciting ads that push the limits of the marketing minds.

3. The food.

When can you get cheap beer and tasty wings in such abundance like you can during the Super Bowl? Sometimes the best part of a Super Bowl party is getting to eat all the food offered.

4. The halftime show.

Officially the most viewed part of the Super Bowl, we’ve seen nip slips, unexpected kisses, and crazy amounts of pyrotechnics. Who doesn’t love a free concert on their television?

5. The advertisers’ deals.

When I discover that one of my favorite brands is the sponsor of a team in the Super Bowl, I just about lose my mind. This often means you’ll see fantastic deals both before and after the big game that will make your wallet much happier.

6. The drinks.

Who doesn’t love an excuse to drink on a Sunday afternoon? Some employers are even gracious enough to let employees come in late the next morning. Take advantage of that great opportunity.

7. The fireworks.

Fireworks just about make anyone happy regardless of the situation. The beautiful display of colors lights up the sky the same way it lights up the hearts of the viewers.

8. The famous people.

Famous people really love to attend sporting events and lucky for us they gather all in one place. It’s like getting to watch Live from the Red Carpet but without any awards show.

9. The puppy bowl.

What’s cutter than a bunch of puppies running around chasing a football? Nothing. Nothing even comes close to the amount of cuteness at the puppy bowl.

10. The discounted apparel.

Even if you have no idea whatsoever who either team is, the sales at the sports shops the following days make you giddy. So many great exercise clothes on sale! Bonus: if you buy one of the Super Bowl winning shirts, people might think you’re cool.

Even if you have no idea how football works, you’re sure to love Super Bowl Sunday just as much as the biggest sports fan.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
