It happens but once a year, it is that magical time where 22 burly, spandex-clad men toss a ball around for several hours while millions of people yell at a television. Ah, tradition.

Of course, there are plenty of avid fans who have closely followed the road to this ultimate game in the football season who would baulk at such a description of this hallowed American game. With such a large and devoted following, it is no wonder that a single televised event would draw such a crowd.

Today, thousands of people will migrate to their various Super Bowl parties, hopping in the Carmel cars they summoned with their Carmel apps, and arriving quickly and safely at their destinations. The football aficionados, with the season’s stats and figures in their minds, have formulated their hypothesis as to the outcome. It takes a special kind of fan to regurgitate player and team stats on cue, but there are plenty who can provide more football-related information than Wikipedia, and all at the drop of a hat.

Then, there are those fair-weather fans, and those whose only football exposure is the Super Bowl. Mostly, these are the commercial watchers and half-time show enthusiasts. The actual game is only secondary to these entertainments. A team will be arbitrarily selected as the one for which to cheer. Support usually goes something like:

Go horse team!

Yay blue team!

Do the thing! Win the points!

Sports harder!

Oh thank god, the commercials are on. Where’s my beer?

It seems that beer and football just go hand in hand. It is hardly a Super Bowl party without this crucial elixir. It is easy to mindlessly sip as your attentions are elsewhere, either on the game or toward your fellow party-goers. As with any party or event, Carmel is ready to be your designated driver. So crack open another, your ride home is safe and secure.

Whether you’re a diehard football fan, or simply sure the horse team will sports harder than the cat team, the Super Bowl is a tried and true American tradition. So, enjoy the game, stay safe, and call Carmel when you’re ready for that ride home.
