I know – I’m taking a huge risk here; I should be calling it THE BIG GAME. However since this just a simple post and not a store ad for big screen TV deals, I think I am safe…for now.
Anyway, what’s the best part of the game? The food, the camaraderie, the rare time when the team you are a lifelong fan of made it this far? For me, it used to be the food, but now that the game starts at 8pm, I’m having a cup of tea and cookies at that point, and dinner was whatever we were making (I am planning burgers. And tots!)
Now it’s about the prop bets. The half serious but mostly silly bets. Yeah I am the guy with the stopwatch carefully listening to how long the singer says “and the hoooommmee of theeeeee braaaaaaaavve!”
I’ve culled these bets from various sources, and since I have been doing this for many years, some historically fun favorites. And yes, there are TS references this year.
So feel free to cut and paste the actual bets starting below, ignoring my rambling here, make copies for you and the group, and pick an overall prize for the winner (whatever wings, dip, and/or beer that are left over?).
