Every year around this time I make a trip from Florida to Ohio to participate in Super Bowl weekend. Last year the SB was held twenty minutes from my house at the Stadium formerly known as Dolphin Stadium and I traveled 1200 miles to watch it in scenic Dayton Ohio. This year I will be flying out of 77 degrees and sunshine to a balmy 30 degree winter wonderland to partake in our traditional Super Bowl festivities. Saturday night is a night of boozing and playing poker, darts and pool until 4-5 am. Sunday's noon pre-Super Bowl poker tournament gets us liquored up and prepared for the main event.
For the Super Bowl every year we fill up 100 squares with a $100 entry fee and every year we have a waiting list for people trying to get into the next year's pool. With the $100 you get your 0-9 numbers for each team for each quarter that pays out $100 for every score in the game. The person with 0-0 1st Quarter already has been awarded his $100. At the end of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters the corresponding numbers earns $1000 and at the conclusion of the 4th quarter the person with the corresponding square wins the remaining money (typically between $2500-3000).
The $100 entry fee is used for the rental facility, kegs of beer, catering, and 4 LCD tvs that are given away at the conclusion of the game. Typically I will only see about one quarter of the actual game as we are playing dealer's choice cash games for the entire day. We only pay attention to the sheets to find out what scenarios might lead to us winning the quarters or getting our money back by any score. The women are put to work during the game raffling off handles of liquor, 50/50 drawings, and other odds and ends. Suffice to say, this event has become quite a fun tradition full of alcohol, gambling, and good times with friends. Hopefully this year will be another successful event and the trip will be paid for with my poker winnings or by hitting the lucky numbers. Monday morning I hop back on a plane wreaking of alcohol and head back to reality swearing that I will never drink again.

Matty be prepared for this face if it occurs.
, wherever the hell that is. Good article about him helping out my best friend with his football team and his journey back to the Steelers. This year's game could very easily come down to one of his kicks.
