I'm laughing, but I would be the same way with one of my teams.
Yeah, I'm guilty of buying the commemorative magazines, and watching replays of the game at least a dozen times.
I did this too. In fact, I just got a Super Bowl XLI champs shirt this weekend. It was on sale.
I'd recommend waiting until after or right before next year's super bowl and then the prices really drop for merchandise. A lot of clearance sales and whatnot.
You're absolutely right. When I was in Pittsburh for the parade, we stopped at Station Square, a place loaded with this stuff. All of the banners, hats, shirts, prints and junk that referenced 5 SBs were greatly reduced.
I almost bought a Super Bowl program at the list price of $20 after the game at a local store. Later that day I saw it at an outlet store for $3.99. The chain buys out the extra programs after the game at a reduced price. I'm glad I waited although while the programs are thick, there's never much of value in them.
