Super Bowl!

SUPER BOWL! 

As many of you know this weekend brings one of the most, if not the most, watched event of the year, the SUPER BOWL, otherwise known as the championship game for the National Football League! For many of us, including myself, there is much anticipation not for the main event, which is the football game, but the commercials! These commercials bring laughter and happiness to each and every household.  It's what all the talk is about the following day, not who won or lost, but which commercial was your favorite. The teams competing in the game this year are the Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. Personally neither myself nor anyone I know, has a connection to either of these teams. This means only one thing...we're watching for the commercials! And of course, enjoying the delicious food available. The really cool and interesting fact about this year's Super Bowl is that it's taking place right in our own backyard! It's at MetLife Stadium, which is where the New York Jets and New York Giants play each week. I hope you can all enjoy the game! Stay warm, watch the commercials and enjoy the food!
