Pierce: Super Sunday snack substitutes

You can probably guess that anyone who names their beagle Cameron Indoor is a pretty big basketball fan.

(For those of you who didn’t get it, Cameron Indoor Stadium is the Duke Blue Devils’ basketball arena.)

I’ve always been a Mocs basketball fan. My sons turned me into a Duke fan. Either way, “Go Blue” works at our house.

To like basketball and baseball as much as I do, I’ve never been a huge fan of football other than a passing interest in UT’s seasons and Super Bowl Sunday.

To me — and let me just say ahead of this: hold your e-mails — the best part of the Super Bowl is the commercials. Before this diet effort for the Shape We’re In project here at the Times Free Press, I’d have said the best part of the Super Bowl was the food.
