Is the Whole World Waiting?

Every day, every night someone is making predictions about the Super Bowl. Stats are spread out and compared— the trajectory of throws, time in the pocket, interceptions. Bodies, weights, lines are compared and contrasted. Las Vegas busies itself with statistics, variabilities, previous meetings and from inches and inches of data they will set the odds.

Grocery store employees sharpen their knives. Soon they will be slicing and dicing vegetables for trays of snacks. Dips will be mixed, nuts opened, mounds of chips displayed. On Saturday platters of necessasry cheeses and crackers will be created.

Cooked shrimp and buffalo wings lure fans who desire and need sustenance in order to sustain themselves for an entire game.

Watching is a daunting task and depletes the average viewer whose team is aching to return home with this trophy.

All New England , save for those few who stand apart, will be watching and eating.
