Super Bowl, say whaaa?

So of course it is a big deal to everyone in the whole galaxy. Kay not really, but people worship this day. Over half the kids in America probably woke up today with the smell of little weenies simmering in barbecue sauce, cheesy sauce and tostitos, or even brownies that almost always make you want to fall over and die of happiness. It has been a ritual for over five hundred bazillion million years, and everyone takes it SO seriously, yet I take it as a typical football game. Why does it matter so much?
For starters, you are either a football fan or not. Okay, yes I like watching football. It is probably my favorite sport to watch, so we have that established. If you like football, there should be some sort of team that you would prefer to win. For my sake, I am a Bears fan; yes, this is true. I know they haven't been the greatest during these past years, but I can't just turn my back on them? NO! Anyways, when you have a team, you watch when they play and hope for the best. So this year, when the Super Bowl came today, I wasn't enthused at all. Honestly, even if the bears WERE playing, I wouldn't be super stoked. It is a game to me, a fun game to watch, and that is it. People want to go ballistic over bets and little score sheets, some losing over hundreds of dollars! Why? Why why why why why? I guess because it is, well, fun.
When I went to watch the game with a bunch of my friends, things were tense from the start. I take that back; things weren't really that bad, but people were jokingly getting competitive with eachother. "Yo man your team is going down, you know the Colts are gonna beat your guys ass!" "Yeah whatever man, you will see whose da best eva!" Giggles giggles giggles.

Fists flying, screaming, people leaving the room. What? I literally sat and laughed for about an hour at all of these crazy people. It is a GAME. You know your going to get over it in a day, right? I know this is just my opinion on this whole matter, and it truly doesn't matter, but I just can't get how everyone is just so nuts.
I know I will probably go crazy once I actually really get football and love it as much as all the crazies, but for now, I am chill.
GO COUGS.
