What are you doing this Saturday? Perfecting your 7-layer dip recipe? Deciding which last-minute jersey purchase best suits your skin tone (hint: the team colors are the same)? Since you’ll spend all Sunday waiting with rapt attention for a Madonna wardrobe malfunction, why not get out on football eve and help spark something?
