I love football. So naturally, I had to read Oprah.com’s story about topics to avoid during the Super Bowl. Of course, being written by Dennis Leary, it’s incredibly offensive, and pretty stupid. So, I think I’ll shoot down his absolute worst tidbits.
1. Don’t talk about other men’s butts, because men will respond by talking about Kim Kardashian. Okay. I suppose talking about women’s asses would be fair game if the women in the room were talking about men’s asses. But I must enlighten Mr. Leary that the butts are a rather huge (often literally) perk of watching football. And if we want to talk about it, dammit, we’ll talk about it.
2. The cheerleaders. The fact that men enjoy them does not take them off the table as a topic of conversation. I don’t really care what they know about football. I care why women don’t get a similar amount of eye candy to watch during the games.
3. Other men’s arms. I find this so ironic, that we’re not supposed to talk about other men’s arms, but we should accept that the cheerleaders (who have similarly impossible bodies) are present strictly for your viewing pleasure. Oh, the fragility that is the male ego.
4. The rules. Please. They’re not that complicated. Maybe they are to a pea brain like Leary. But not to women. And there are plenty of women out there who fully comprehend the rules of football.
Why, Oprah, why? This is just not up to par for you.
So, basically, my advice for the Super Bowl is to have some damn fun and talk about whatever you want. I was sad when the Arizona Cardinals lost, because they have the best butts in the NFL, but trust me, the Colts and Saints will suffice.

I’ve been drunk since the Vikings lost.
Me too. :(
You ought to try being a Steelers fan.
Life is so hard …
**grin** I’m from Cleveland……I put $50 bucks on them to take the AFC Championship this year….Sucker. I now live in AZ, so I also root for the Cards!
Thank goodness my fiance doesn’t care about football. Even though “our” team is playing (and I’m just saying “our” since we’re Hoosiers), neither of us are going to watch. We’ll just eat the yummy Super Bowl Party food and play video games in another room.

The article made for an interesting read, but I’m not sure I buy it.
Haha my mother and I love to comment on the asses of MMA guys. Much better than football, especially since they wear those tiny little spandex shorts and nothing else. :D

All you’ve done here is vindicate Denis Leary.
Also, calling Leary a pea brain because you disagree with him? Really? You’re going to go that route? Classy.
….pea brain.
