Five tips for a perfect Super Bowl Sunday

If the season finale of your favorite TV show were airing, would you invite 30 people over for a party, half of whom weren't even fans of the show? Of course not. There would lots of talking, newcomers would berate you with annoying questions, and you would have had no idea what happened by the time the show was over.

For me, the same doctrine applies to the Super Bowl. I'm all for getting together with friends to watch the game and I have no problem with people who are not football fans wanting to watch the Super Bowl. In the spirit of fairness, I've devised five rules for those of you who may be watching the game on Sunday:

1. Keep the numbers low. Nobody likes to watch a game with 25 people. Side conversations start, people end up standing and blocking the TV. The amount of seats you have with clear sightlines to the screen is the amount of people you should have.

2. Gamble, if possible. We have been lucky the past few years, but historically the Super Bowl has not been a close game. The more gambling, the more attention people pay to the game. Betting on the game itself is always great, but I would also suggest wagering on some of the novelty props that are available. Some of the best ones that I have found (with my prediction in parentheses): How many times will CBS show Reggie Bush's girlfriend Kim Kardashian on TV during the game — over/under 2.5? (please be over!!) Will Kim Kardashian be wearing a Saints shirt or jersey? (jersey) How many times will Pete Townshend do his windmill move — over/under 5.5? (under).

3. Pipe down during commercials. Just because the game is on break doesn't mean that I don't want to hear the TV. And if the rumors are true, this year might bring us Peyton Manning getting his gym, tan and laundry on with "Jersey Shore's" The Situation. So respect the commercials, boss.

4. One big misconception is that wings are perfect Super Bowl food. While it is true that everyone loves wings, in reality they're very hard to eat on your lap. Sandwiches and hot dogs are much easier to manage.

5. And finally, keep the TV volume up loud; we want to hear the announcers. If you can't hear the person you're having a conversation with, good — that's the point. Go talk somewhere else.

Super Bowl Sunday is a very special night for football fans all over the country. Don't ruin a spectacular season by turning your Sunday into a social event.
