Hi All,

As if you didn't know already, the Super Bowl is being played this Sunday.  Click on this link to learn more about the big game!

However, I want to do something a bit different this year!  I want to talk about the various alternative things that folks can do if they do NOT watch the Super Bowl this year.

This link - from Gawker - has a bunch of different ideas that you can try if you don't want to watch the Super Bowl. Some of their ideas include eating out at a restaurant, going to the theater or a gym or go shopping....

Interestingly enough, ESPN has a bunch of ideas for things to do if you don't want to watch the game...click here for ESPN's take on the topic. 

The Huffington Post chimed in on the topic as well.  Click here for details - and they list 9 different things that you can do instead of watching SB49! Wisebread has an even larger list of 49 (!!) things you can do on Super Bowl Sunday - other than watch the game! 

Finally, Hubpages.com has an article titled, 'I Hate Football! 25 Things to Do Instead of Watching the Super Bowl'.  

That should give you enough options to figure out what to do for the 4 long, interminable hours that the Super Bowl takes to be played. 

Enjoy the links - hope you enjoy staying busy!

It's All About the Big Blue - the NY Giants

Hi All,

Well it looks like my post of a few days ago was pretty interesting. No, I'm not going to tell you who is going to win SuperBowl 46 (well, okay - hint - the team name begins with the letter 'G'), but I will give you a whole host of websites and resources that you can use to learn more about the game, the teams and the players.

Go Giants!

Enjoy - the next 2 weeks are going to be all about football in the New York metro area!
