What Are You Doing For The Game? A Safe Super Bowl Sunday

How about some football, American-style. One game and lots of spectacle. Even better when the local guys are playing for the trophy.

I love the mid-air extended catches and when the smaller guys break through the line to stop a play.  Give me the thrill of a returned punt. Most important, I am a connoisseur of trash-talking, color commenting, celebrating, and drama – in the stands and on the screen.  This Sunday, I get to watch my hometown play the hometown. We like the gathering – getting together with others to watch the big game.  Since I can’t play, I just appreciate being with friends and enjoying snacks that I shouldn’t eat.

Have you got somewhere to watch the game? We’re getting together on Sunday at Agganis – our treat. Join us!

If you can’t make it over to the Arena, then you must do me a favor: get together with someone; watch the game (or the commercials); have a great time, and – most important – keep yourself safe.

I never understood it, but you know there’s always “those guys” out there who like to break stuff, flip cars, light fires, and provoke cops. Watch out for those guys – they’re usually overly emotional, careless, drunk, and want to fight. Careful, please! (And I hope your team’s win will not turn you in to one of “those guys.”)

Heads up! I know Boston Police will be out in full force around the City, and they’ve issued some warnings here. They’re shutting down Kenmore Square — complete. No cars, bikes, or even pedestrians. (Run-ins with police aren’t my thing, so I plan to stay away from Kenmore for a few hours on Sunday.)

This Sunday, do me that favor! Keep yourself safe and watch your friend’s back.

Hope I see you on Sunday – at Agganis Arena.  If not, Go (insert your team’s name here)!
