Ok, this is not so much for the lucky ones (and rich ones) who are going to the Super Bowl.
This if for the others who will be watching outside of the stadium.
When the Pats are in the Super Bowl, do you still host a party or would you prefer to be like me and actually prefer to not have many people around?
Do you have a lucky chair or specific spot you need to sit in? is there a certain friend or family member who is absolutely not invited (due to a superstitious jinx of some sort).
For me, my family (parents, 2 bros, 1 sis) and my wife's family (parents, 1 sis) come over but to be honest I'd prefer it just be me and my younger brother. You see, my brother and I share the same passion and we never actually sit down during the games. We each have our own specific football that we hold during the games as we pace, jump up and down, or go into a tirade at the refs. Adding mroe people to the scene only adds unwanted commotion. Leave it to my mother-in-law to ask about the QB's off field life during a big fourth down ("Is he married? Does he have any kids?). Oh, and my wife has another brother who is just not invited. He's one of those annoying guys who actually is a big Pats fan, but pretends to take such joy when things don't go their way ("ha, he can't tackle anyone", "ha ha, there is no way they win this game", "they suck. good thing the bruins are looking better") Things that just fester away at me.
I'll have my authentic Teddy Bruschi shirt on. I've thought about updating to a Gronk or Edelman jersey, but Bruschi jerseys will never go out of style (similar to Larry Bird jerserys).
