Declan,
I'm American, yet I'm not fluent in Super Bowl.I'll try my best. I know that KK and Toph will correct the noodle's incorrectitudes.
shuffle = superbowl shuffle = may the one with the least traumatic brain injury derived Parkinson's symptoms show off their proud shuffles
wardrobe malfunction = the best nipple ornamentation ever seen. Janet Jackson as sherrif of Nipple-town and Deputy Justin Timberlake allows her to show her badge: the highlight of my SuperBowl viewing experience of all times
mild indifference = the Quarterback QB of the Colts lead University of Tennessee to national glory. Seeing as how I used to hate the color orange (living near UT as a wee one) and the traffic of the then-largest-stadium-in-the-world as it descended on Knoxville once declared the ugliest city in America, I feel somewhat loyal to Peyton Manning. Especially since he moved to Indy.
Yet, I feel some mild loathing towards the enterprise of the Chicago Bears. The fans are certainly dressed in puffy parkas. The superlatives don't end there. This organization used financial objectives to "modernize" a field that was dedicated to the U.S.A Soldiers who died in war. A war memorial. The modernization has led to a stadium in which the prettiest views are obtained by the elite, whose boxes occupy half the circumference of this edifice that has been stripped of landmark status and has been nicknamed the [crash landed] flying saucer.
In all honesty, I feel a certain civic pride towards peyton manning but also a certain civic pride towards the Chicago Bears. The enthusiasm is contagious, I suppose. If one can "catch" one of those hundred dollar+ coughs that pay for the plebians of this great city to enjoy their home team.
and they have done an awful lot in one year.
I hope that sorted out the cultural terms that get lost in translation between rugby, football, soccer and football.
modern gladiators?
let she who is without sin cast the first stone.

I'm SO gonna get a PBC for this post. I can hardly wait. come on Dr. Bob. gimme a frickin' PBC. I'm getting "heated" and "political". Heckola-- gimme a friggin block.
