Invite Friends: Watching football is fun no matter what, and even though I could watch football locked alone in a box for the next week and be happy, to truly experience the joy of a game you need to share your excitement with friends. Just having someone to high-five or fist-pound (if that's your thing) makes football that much more enjoyable.

It can be even more entertaining when you invite over a friend that cheers for your team's rival. All football fans love to smack talk and whether you get to gloat in your friend's face or have to punch them in the shoulder when they say something like, "Your team understands that the goal of the game is to actually SCORE points, right?" it's still fun watching it with someone who is as big a fan as you. And if worst comes to worst you can just kick 'em out if you followed our first suggestion of watching it at your place.
