The Super Bowl drinking game

Instead of writing a list of the Super Bowl stories you're already sick of, how about something much more productive/almost as effective at brain cell killing?

The Super Bowl drinking game!

Take a sip of your beer if the following happens:
  • The announcers refer to how bad the Cardinals were/are. This includes mentions of St. Louis, Phoenix, Jake Plummer, Emmit Smith, how bad the NFC West was this season, the Cards' record.
  • Anyone talks about Kurt Warner's love of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
  • Ben Roethlisberger is referred to by first name alone.
  • "Best receiver in the NFL" is thrown around regarding Larry Fitzgerald.
  • There is talk of how many Steeler fans came out.
  • Tampa is referred to as an ideal Super Bowl site before the game.
  • Hines Ward is called "tough" or a "gamer" or anything other bullshit phrase like that.
  • Any sideline shot of a sulky Anquan Boldin.
  • You hear "Steel Curtain" or anything that implies the Steelers are the best football franchise ever.
Chug for a few seconds if the following happens:
  • An announcer screams when Fitzgerald makes a leaping grab down field.
  • Edge James rushes for more than three yards on any given play.
  • Shots of Mrs. Warner.
  • Any defensive player other than Dansby, Rodgers-Cromartie or Dockett make a significant play on defense for the Cards.
  • Roethlisberger throws a ridiculously dumb pass off his back foot with four defenders in his face for a completion. Double that time if it's a TD.
  • An announcer explodes with joy as a Steeler "jacks up" a Cardinal (note: the words "jacked up" do not need to be spoken, they are most often implied).
Break out the hard stuff for a shot if:
  • There is talk about how the Cards/Steelers played as one team once like two hundred years ago.
  • A Cardinals defender wins MVP.
  • A Steelers offensive player other than Ben wins MVP.
  • There is a special teams touchdown.
  • The halftime show is actually watchable.
  • The game is not over by halftime.
Steelers 31, Cardinals 14
