It’s the National Day of Competitive Reflection. Studies have shown that a win or loss in the Super Bowl has a direct and dramatic effect on a city’s mood for at least a year. If your footing ball chaps win this time, fill your heart with joy, because you get to brag for an entire year. Beer will taste better, a certain arrogance will enter your gait, and your town will shine like Camelot. If the villains on the other side win, curse the officials, who were plainly bribed, and let a powerful thirst for vengeance fester in your heart. Avert your eyes and mumble about next year. If you didn’t have a horse in the race, well, just carry on.
