2. Well, the late Hunter S. Thompson summed up the Super Bowl hype

rather nicely, back in 1973, in an article for Rolling Stone:

:evilfrown:

(Rolling Stone #128, February 15, 1973)

"For eight long and degrading days I had skulked around Houston with all the other professionals, doing our jobs--which was actually to do nothing at all except drink all the free booze we could pour into our bodies, courtesy of the National Football League, and listen to an endless barrage of some of the lamest and silliest swill ever uttered by man or beast..."
