All those years of sitting on the couch and consuming mass quantities of pizza on Super Bowl Sunday are about to pay off.

You’ve seen a bazillion ads. You’ve watched scads of superstar halftime shows. Now test your knowledge by taking this trivia quiz.

The questions are a football-free zone, so you don’t need to be a sports fan to play. Answer XV or more correctly and you’re meaner than Joe Greene. Get X or more right and you qualify as an honorary Clydesdale.

A score less than X means you’d probably rather watch the “America’s Next Top Model” rerun-fest on Oxygen, right?
