Super Bowl Sunday

Todd:So, Melissa, the Super Bowl is coming up. And what do you think about football? Melissa:I think it's really interesting. This Japanese guy recently told me it was the most interesting sport to watch because of the rules, but unfortunately I don't really know the rules so I have a hard time following it. Todd:But you're American. You don't like American football? Melissa:I'm more of a basketball fan cause when I watch it, I can easily understand what's going on, and when I'm watching football, everyone around me just screams and they don't really tell me what's going on. Todd:Right. But the Super Bowl - that's like the biggest game of the year right! So you go to Super Bowl parties, right? Melissa:Yeah, my sister's crazy about football and she has Super Bowl parties but I haven't really lived in America for the past three years, and before that I was in college and I never really went to one. How about you? Todd:Oh, yeah, I'm huge .... it's the biggest day of the year for me. Melissa:What's your favorite team? Todd:Well, my team is terrible now ... the 49ers, so they're never, ever in the Super Bowl. Melissa:Yeah, that's cool. San Francisco. Todd:But the thing I think is great about Super Bowl Sunday is it's really ... it's like the silent American holiday. Melissa:Yes. Todd:You know what I mean? Like it's the one day where everybody gets together and watches the game and has a good time. Melissa:Well, I'm from Philadelphia and Philadelphia fans of all sports are totally wild and crazy, and they just go all out, so a lot of my family members and friends go crazy about the Eagles' games. Todd:So have you ever been to a professional game? Melissa:I haven't. I haven't been to a professional football game. Todd:Now, what about college? Did you have a big college team? Melissa:No, I don't think so. We had a good basketball team at the University of Arizona - The Wildcats, but .... Todd:Oh, right. Melissa:Football, I don't really recall having a good football team. Todd:So when you watch the Super Bowl, usually the best part is the commercials, right? So, they have the commercials, so you watch those, don't you? Melissa:To be honest, I can't remember watching the Super Bowl in recent years. Todd:Wow! Melissa:Yeah. Todd:Here it is. I'm saying it's the biggest day of the year, and you don't remember ever seeing it? Melissa:I mean, I remember watching it, but they're just ... I remember like being more into the food that was all around me. Todd:Right, right. Fair enough. Melissa:Sorry. But if you invite me this year I'll come. Todd:Oh, cool. Source: www.elllo.org
