Abby Greenhill's "What the Super Bowl Means to a Man"

Writing from her female perspective, Abby takes us on a Super Bowl Sunday journey through her eyes. The adventure covers butt slapping, profanity, nacho overload and the testosterone-induced man rumble.

Abby's brilliant documentary will make you laugh and cry over the amounts of beer and beef jerky consumed; the rudeness of blowing off her Swedish meatballs (with toothpicks) for canned chili and the days of cleanup after the armchair quarterbacks head home for another year.

Honestly, Abby should win an award for her ultra sensitive look at men and the Super Bowl!
