Our little party abused it badly with a 200+" projected HDTV image...I was worried all night that the NFL-police would show up and pull the plug on us...really...I was...I swear...

2.  i go to church...
and a lot of the people over for the game go to church...does that count? Should I count on the NFL commissioners office representative sometime soon?

We would have had it at church, but the pastor thought beer in the church would be 'a little much.' He showed up at about 3 minutes into the first quarter...but he is a beer bigot...he brought his own!

I mean, I know of bars with big screen tvs showing the Super Bowl.
