12 Thoughts all Football Fans Have During the Super Bowl

Armchair quarterbacks everywhere always have something to say during the big game, and we partnered with Smirnoff Ice to celebrate some of the most common.

Growing up, football happened on Sundays. Sure there were other nights of the week it was on, but Sunday was game day. Big smoky bowls of homemade chili were topped with lots and lots of cheese (Green Bay Packers fan here), and a win or loss could dictate how the rest of the week would go. Any die-hard fan knows the devastation of crumbling in front of the television over a big defeat, but a blowout is like nothing else — especially at the Super Bowl. Here are the thoughts we all have when hanging onto big-win hopes. Source: Shutterstock

I know I should feel bad for the other team, but I just don't — TOUCHDOWN!

I could have thrown that ball better.

Um, no. No, you couldn't have.

Yeah, it might be time to admit it's not happening. Sorry.
