Here, in order, are the Top 10 Ways to Kill Time Until the Super Bowl:

(Note: Bear with me on the details, they are EXTREMELY important.)

10.) Run a google search for "The Patriots are a starless group of overachieving role players who benefit from a solid gameplan, etc." Read as many matches as you can stomach, then run head-first into the nearest wall. With any luck, you'll come to just in time for Beyonce singing the National Anthem.

9.) Make phone calls to high-profile players from "better" teams (i.e. Warren Sapp, Brian Urlacher, Zach Piller) who were full of critical comments and disrespect for the Patriots. Ask them if you can join them for the big game...in their living room.

8.) If you own an Xbox (and please, if you suck at video games, skip to #7) you can have your own "Game Before the Game." Make sure you're the Pats, the game is in Houston, and the difficulty is set to "Clueless" so that an 80-point margin of victory isn't out of the question.

7.) If you're reading this, you don't need any suggestions for killing time.

6.) Write lyrics to an original song that you will do an impromtu performace of this weekend. Make sure you're intoxicated so you're more inclined to rhyme dirty words with "Carolina."

5.) Construct an exact replica of Reliant Stadium from Legos, toothpicks, and green Play-doh.

4.) Quit school or quit your job and tailgate with complete strangers from now until Sunday.

3.) Create authentic looking self-help brochures dealing with every facet of human intelligence. Mail them one by one to Danny Ainge.

2.) Instigate new A-Rod trade rumors.

1.) Shovel your newly snow-covered driveway with the spoon you ate Fruity Pebbles with this morning. Yes, it must be Fruity Pebbles, and no, no one can help you.
