Just how exciting was the Super Bowl? The big game has been famous for being
famous for so long that it's hard to make any new observations about it. Many fans
do try, however:

Many fans, however, demonstrate a kneejerk reaction to the Super Bowl, a feeling that
after so many underplayed outings, it can never be any good. Even an
uncharacteristically interesting game like yesterday's will not please these nostalgists.

It might be better to come to the game with no prior experience. The NFL is now officially
trying to turn women into football fans. If this plan worked, millions of women tuned in to the Super
Bowl for the first time. Consider how entertaining the game must have been for them.

It was probably less entertaining for those superstitious types who believe
(based on historical performance) that an AFC
win portends a bear year for the stock market.

The happiest fans were probably philosophical souls who looked on the Bowl
merely as an exercise for their enjoyment:

... or for their active participation:

And of course, there are always those who tune out the game entirely:
