5 Biggest Super Bowl Party Fouls to Avoid for Chiefs vs. Eagles
We finally know the Super Bowl 2025 matchup, and if you were planning on throwing a party to celebrate the Big Game, you might have canceled it already.
It's Chiefs vs. Eagles once again, and our Super Bowl opening odds tell us that haters of Patrick Mahomes and Co. are in for another depressing night.
A good Super Bowl party can make you forget that neither of the NFL MVP favorites will be playing, or that the Detroit Lions' magical season came to an end weeks ago.
However, a bad Super Bowl party will make the final Sunday of the NFL season go from potentially already bad to worse - and the easiest way to ruin the night is by committing a party foul.
It's sometimes difficult to know exactly what will and won't fly among a specific group of people, but these should be nearly universal. We're talking about the five biggest Super Bowl party fouls: don't be that person.
1) "Which one is dating Taylor Swift?"
Come on. At this point, you should know his name.
If you're referring to Travis Kelce as "Taylor Swift's boyfriend" in the year 2025, you're not even a real Swiftie. You're in your "lying to sound cool" era.
Now, I'm not someone who resents the NFL for showing Swift during the game - to be honest, it really isn't as often as people pretend it is - or her fans for getting involved in the sport. As a fan of the NFL, why would I be mad that more people are watching?
But at some point, we need to say enough is enough.
If you show up to my Super Bowl party and can't even name a single player, including perhaps the most popular active player in the NFL, I will kindly ask you to leave.
2) Talking about how much you don't care about Taylor Swift
And now, the other side of the coin.
For this one, I'll simply direct you to some of the truly absurd anti-Kelce and anti-Swift sentiments shared online by real people (or accounts claiming to be real people - it's difficult to know at this point):
- "A painful moment for all of America"
- "Boycott the Super Bowl"
- "Absolutely ruining what was the most entertaining league and sport"
- "I hope this becomes the least watched Super Bowl ever"
- "I hate what the NFL has become"
It is absolutely never that deep. These people are unhinged and need to touch grass. Don't be like them.
3) "When does the halftime show start?"
Let's start by saying everyone should be excited for the halftime show and all of the Super Bowl halftime show prop bets. As someone who's been listening to Kendrick Lamar for more than a decade, I can't wait (just made myself feel so old).
But please, remember what we're watching.
This isn't a Kendrick concert; it's the Super Bowl. If you want to silently wish away the minutes of the game, go ahead. But once you start vocalizing that, you're taking a dump on the reason the majority of people are there.
Every year, there are a ton of people who write this on social media, and it's cringy and performative. We get it - you don't like silly football but you like music. So cool, so artsy.
The halftime show starts at ... oh that's right ... halftime. Don't try to talk to me about it when Saquon Barkley is peeling off a mind-boggling 40-yard run.
4) Doubling-dipping
If you want to double-dip on Super Bowl player props - for example, Barkley Over rushing yards, Over receiving yards, anytime touchdown, two-plus touchdowns, etc. - there's nothing wrong with that. It's the last game of the season, so have fun (responsibly).
But please, for the love of all that is holy, do not double-dip that chip (or vegetable, for our more health-conscious readers).
First of all, that's nasty. I don't want your germs in the dip. Second, let's get that summer bod started now. All those extra calories for what? Don't chips have enough flavor as is?
If you really insist on double- or triple-dipping, ask for a bowl and spoon and separate some for yourself. Don't get me wrong, that's still extremely weird behavior at a party, but at least it's significantly less gross.
5) Having a Super Bowl party
While writing this, I've really come to remember why I haven't thrown or attended a Super Bowl party since 2009. It just sounds like the most miserable way to watch the Big Game.
Fire up some bets (perhaps you want to make your Chiefs vs. Eagles prediction early?), cook up or order some good food, charge your phone so you can text that one person you always text during these events, and just enjoy the game at home with your partner, children, pet, or even yourself.
You can do whatever the heck you want at that point; you don't even have to wear pants. Why do people do this to themselves instead?
What to do if you commit one of these fouls
If you do commit one of these fouls, you're probably an awful person and don't care about your friends and family. But if you do happen to slip up and acknowledge a foul has been committed, offer to place a bet for those you've offended.
We have plenty of Taylor Swift prop bets if you angered the Swifties, or you can look at the Super Bowl MVP odds for the more hardcore football fans in attendance.
