You may be aware that I\u2019ve been on a campaign to do away with Super Bowl parties and hold Pro Bowl parties instead. At the risk of repeating myself (that\u2019s what you do when you\u2019re on a campaign) the change in venue would be beneficial to everyone. Super Bowl parties are all about the party \u2014 no one goes to a Super Bowl party to watch the Super Bowl. Have a Pro Bowl party and it <em>can<\/em> be all about the party \u2014 no one watches, or cares, about the Pro Bowl.
