My buddy has a SB party every year and he invites me every year. But I tell him the same thing, if the Pats are in it you don't want me there. I am the overly intense, standing up and yelling at the tv for the entire game guy. I am definitly not someone a casual fan would want at their SB party. That's me, too. I have some new friends who are sports fans and would like to watch the Super Bowl together, but I'm a little self-conscious about screaming at the TV til I'm hoarse in front of them.
This year a buddy of mine, who isn't a huge fan is coming over but he knows how to act and when not to ask questions. My 10 year old will watch the entire game with me and I will have to tell him to shut up and watch at least 30 times (he is a question asking MACHINE)! My kids are, too, but the end result, after awhile, is that they've become really knowledgeable about the Patriots. All numbers encountered in the outside world are referenced to Patriots uniform numbers. My 5-year-old recently said in a store, "Daddy, that costs Lawrence Maroney dollars." My 3-year-old surprised his big brother's kindergarten teacher (a man who's a Giants fan) who called to a student named Eli, and my 3-year-old asked him, "Eli Manning?"
