As someone living far from the US I have a more vested interest in who is in it, because here it starts really late, like far after midnight and will last till close to normal Dutch people getting up for work time. Now when I was still working I would have circled 2 days in the year in which I would have taken a free day. Those days are Superbowl Monday and US election Wednesday. In year Bush Jr. was in an election with Al Gore I took 2 weeks off, one reason was to watch the election results and the other was because I had not taken a holiday yet and wanted to have 2 weeks off.
So now I do not work anymore, I would stay up for a team that interests me (Ravens, Patriots, Buccaneers, Bears) but for most other teams I would have recorded the game and watched it in the morning.
And like always, when the Patriots are playing, I will have sugar free soda (fanta or orangina) ready and some crisps or pretzels or stuff like that. No pizza though, eating that late at night really is not good for my figure :lamo (says the guy who is grossly morbidly obese LOL) but still, no meal like products for me.
And I will be alone, nearly no-one in my area would be willing to stay up that late. Well maybe my soldier brother in law is in the country at the moment for some medical treatment, maybe he can come and watch the Patriots with me, him being a big fan as well. I just hope it will be an awesome game, that will keep me awake a bit better than a one way game.
