Are You Ready for Some Football? SUPER BOWL LI

NFL SUPER BOWL 2017
Super Bowl 2017
First of all you're probably wondering why someone like me (who is a fashion addict, and girly girl), is doing a post on the Super Bowl! Well, I have four sons, and grew up surrounded with nothing but sports.  Hockey was our main focus, but football is now the sport of choice to watch...college and NFL.  I really had no choice but to either get involved and enjoy it, or I was on my own.  Not to say there weren't plenty of times that I chose shopping over a game!  But now, I truly enjoy it, and I am 100% game on!  I love watching football...it used to just be Monday Nite Football, now it's expanded to Thursday Nite Football, and the weekends.  I am really looking forward this weekend-February 5th, to watch Super Bowl LI between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons, in Houston, Texas at NRG Stadium. Let the games begin between all-star quarterback Tom Brady of the Patriots, and Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons. Two years ago I went against Tom Brady and rooted for Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks, but this year I think I'm going with the Patriots. (I won't hold it against Tom Brady that he went to the University of Michigan-I am a Michigan State Spartan). Anyway, it's always fun to get together with family and friends and watch the game, all of the exciting commercials, devour some tasty appetizers and blow your diet, and have a few cocktails. To get you into that football spirit and prepare for Super Bowl Sunday, I've got some interesting Super Bowl fun facts, recipes for some great game day appetizers, and some awesome football inspired cocktails! Hope you have a great Super Bowl Sunday with family and friends. Enjoy the game and be safe! Go Patriots!
