OK, let's begin a quest. Join me on a hunt for the best Super Bowl party bets. For a couple of hours, I'll troll the Internet. Meanwhile, you can post your own ideas and leads.
First, a little background: Any degenerate sports fan knows about proposition bets. They're not about who wins or looses (nothing so mundane). Instead they're more insane. And thus conducive to friendly wagering, or pools, at a that Super Bowl party. Here's an off-the-top-the-head starter set:
- Length of the national anthem in minutes and seconds. (Gotta find out who's singing this year.)
- Number of tackles before first beer ad after kickoff.
- First animal in a TV commercial. Dog? Cat? Clydesdale?
That's the general idea. Now let's get started.
