1. The commercials. I am still talking about the Doritos commercials from two years ago. If the game is not entertaining, these always come through for me. 

2. Athletes. You do not have to like football to appreciate football pants. Plus, at 6'3" and 250 pounds, suddenly the game has my full attention.

3. Puppy Bowl. Another one of the NFL's successful attempt at entertaining more than the typical Super Bowl audience. I cheer for these furry friends with more passion than Idina Menzel during the national anthem.

4. Food. It is another reason you can put your spring break diet on hold. It is basically un-American to diet on Super Bowl Sunday. If you have not eaten wings, chips and guac, buffalo chicken dip or some form of fried food, did you really watch it?

5. Halftime show. The half time show can go one of two ways: you can watch a favorite artist do an unbelievable performance filled with fireworks, sparkly outfits, great dance moves and the opportunity to sing your lungs out, or you can watch a sub-par act that includes lip syncing, mainstream twerking and unoriginal dance moves. Sometimes, the show will even surprise you -- like in 2004 when Janet Jackson gave the world a little something extra.
