For the fourth year in a row, The Daily Blur is proud to present The Super Bowl Party Game (for people who don’t care about football).

In an effort to spice things up and remember the real reason for the Super Bowl – Gambling enjoying the company of good friends – I’ve tried to come up with a quick and easy game for sports fans and the casual watchers alike that all the adults can fill out during pre-game.

Here are 48 Questions – feel free to pick and choose your favorite ten, twenty, whatever… copy and paste them onto sheets with a space for your party folks’ names, and bet big. Have fun!
