Now, where's that sharp stick for my eye?

I'm staggered by the way that the Superbowl seems to have become something of a national holiday. Driving around on Sunday evening, there were stores, restaurants, gas stations closed... for a football game. Now, no disrespect to those of you who like to watch it for whatever reason.. but shit.
