The Super Bowl broadcast is notorious for drawing a large contingent of non-football fans who watch for the commercials and the half-time show. Now, an Alberta liquor store is offering a trio of Super Bowl-themed six packs ahead of Sunday’s big game, including one targeted at the newest group of NFL fans.

The question "Will Taylor Swift make it to the Superbowl" was the only newsitem about that event that made it into the news before Sunday. Usually, we get the results of "unknown team one" and "unknown team two" and maybe some juicy halftime bits in the sports section of breakfast TV Monday morning. Still to much attention for this wannabe-sport.

Whenever I see it, it's just "adults" in a kindergarten brawl about a ball that is not even round, with lots of advertising. It is hard to imagine a bigger waste of time, except waiting for a bus in the rain when the bus drivers are on strike. And that's a close one.
