Guests gathering at a Super Bowl Party (or for that matter any regular season game) and wishing to appear familiar with this sanitized contact sport may avail themselves of this list. Every line on this page will be uttered at least once by the marginally educated sportscasters chosen for this game according to their "excellence" displayed in past performances.

In a 60 minute game (which takes 3 hours to play) there are actually only 7 minutes of "action." The rest of the time is "making plans", unpiling, removing wounded, etc. Your effort, then, should be directed to that moment when the burst of "action" is just concluded, and then delivering one of the lines that follow on this page.

Do not be concerned that the line you utter does not correctly match the action that has just occurred on the screen; this has never mattered to the sportscasters covering this game, and they are getting a lot of money for doing it, too. A man named Pat Sommerall has spent his adult lifetime reading randomly from this list. So have fun. Get involved.
