It’s obvious to me that since I don’t really like or understand sports, I’m not going to like or understand the Superbowl. Sure, the commercials are funny. I like that I have an excuse to drink beer, eat wings and yell at the TV. I just don’t understand sports, and thus don’t like the superbowl.
That said, since the move to Tampa, I’m living in the sludge of ridiculousness that the superbowl brings with it. Traffic is already starting to get worse. The signage all has changed to football-friendly fair. Even my favorite restaurants are taking advantage by hiking up prices, offering “bowl specials” and otherwise alienating me. This is with the Superbowl a month away. It’s going to be even more oppressive and restrictive in the coming weeks.
I’m seriously considering taking a vacation for the week up to the super bowl. It’s the only way to be sure that I’m not here for the gridlock traffic and the inability to even go to the grocery store.
