The Super Bowl is finally here — which means you might be in danger of violating some major Super Bowl Party Dos and Don’ts.  DO wear a jersey of a team that is playing in the big game. DON’T effin wear the jersey of your team that not only did not make it to the Super Bowl, but didn’t even make it to the playoffs. Don’t be that guy (or...

An old football-watching buddy of mine emailed me last year reminiscing about a bad Super Bowl party or two that we had been to together.
