Super Bowl Fun Facts And Weird Party Stats For Sundays Game

Super Bowl Sunday is practically a holiday for fans and non - fans alike.

Many people think it should be made an official holiday. With the holiday observed on Super Bowl Monday when the whole country tends to run a little slow.

Even if your team didn't make it this year, the game itself will be exciting and partying with friends and family is always fun. It's like Christmas but without the gift buying anxiety and a more hardcore party vibe.

Here are a few fun facts about Super Bowl Sunday:

Watching the Super Bowl on television is WAY cheaper than attending it. Tickets average about $10K this year and go as high as $40K.
The commercials we all look forward to are also pricey. Be it amusing, thought provoking or stupid, a 30 second spot set the advertiser back $7 million this year.
The players get a bonus for showing up. Last year, each Ram got a $150,000 "thank you" for winning. Each Bengal got a $75,000 "E" for effort.

Dubba G facts and stats:

I have watched, (give or take), 25 Super Bowls.
Between 2pm and 8-ish, I'll put away around 20 Coors Lights along with a little tequila. (When The Patriots are in it, those amounts rise sharply.)
The New England Patriots have won 6 Super Bowls, Bill Belichik has won 8
Tom Brady has won 7
I absolutely HATE avocadoes.
I may have a few chips but it's really the sweet snacks that are going to take a hit.
Sunday is my Mom's birthday. (Happy Birthday Mom)
If we do tequila, it's silver only (Hornitos or El Perro Grande. Drink Local.)
You can keep the nachos too.
If the host of the Super Bowl party I'm going to doesn't promise to provide my Coors Light, I'm going to go on the air and give ALL of you the address.

Finally ...

Over 18 million people are expected to call in sick Monday morning. That being said, (cough, cough), I need to go talk to my boss real quick.
