If you are a hardcore football fan, Super Bowl Sunday creates a dilemma: do you watch the game per your usual routine (either alone or with a small group of knowledgeable football fans) or do you join the hoi polloi for a Super Bowl Party?

It snowed in New England on Wednesday, with some nasty freezing rain and sleet. Good thing the Arizona Cardinals aren’t playing Super Bowl XLIII in Boston this week.
Where’s the hype? It’s Super Bowl week and the cover of Sports Illustrated is LeBron? What’s going on here. We realize the Steelers are boring and the Cardinals are from a small market but we finally got what we wanted (less hype surrounding the Super Bowl) and it just doesn’t feel right.

Now that the Dolphins and Giants have played their “historic game” that turned out anti-climatic, NFL executives and media monguls can stop their talk about how the NFL is ready for the “Next Frontier”.

Super Bowl XLI is sure to be the most over-hyped event in history—that is, until next season. Every year the annual event swells in size not only in vewership, but in money and exposure as well. Add in a mix of uncommonly juicy storylines, and you’ve got a media and advertising giant on your hands. [...]
