How to fake your way through a Super Bowl party

Yay for the Super Bowl. Booo for people that no NOTHING about football! Not saying you need to be an expert, but at least know what a first down means.

If this will literally be the first game you've watched all year, then here are some tips that will help you fake your way through the evening...

1. Avoid being too specific with stats/trivia.  You may screw up and that's bad.
2. Avoid being too vague: At least know who is playing in the game.
3. Make sure your knowledge of the players goes beyond the front page of the paparazzi rags
4. If all else fails, stuff as much food in your gullet as humanly possible: If you feel like you're about to be outed as a football fraud, float over to the food table and start shoveling snacks into your mouth.
5. Have a good time. Enjoy a brew; have a few laughs; eat a pint of potato salad. Who knows, you actually enjoy the game.
