Happy Superbowl Sunday!

Okay --I want to explain some things in this song:

 High school athletics usually start with a pledge of allegiance to the U.S. Flag.  American football is usually played in autumn so team members are the boys of fall. Fighting butterflies is overcoming nervous feelings, talking trash is bragging and joking in a competitive way,  got your back means we'll protect and defend you, your back's against the wall means you're in a difficult situation, mess with one you got us all means that if you start a fight with one member of the team, everybody on the team will fight for him.

American Football Vocabulary

We're watching the Seattle Seahawks vs. the Atlanta Falcons this Superbowl, but this is one of the clearest football-related lyrics videos I saw on Youtube, and it IS a Sunday game.

Do you like American Football?  Do you like soccer?  Are you watching the game?  Are you watching the commercials?  Who is going to win?

Superbowl Party!!

Many Superbowl parties don't take long to set up.  Many people buy soda, beer, and potato chips and order pizza.  My friends usually cook spicy chicken wings and buy a vegetable platter, drinks, chips, and dips.
