I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment of all different types of people watching this game and enjoying the little things that come with the Superbowl outside of the football itself, but I don't think that I'm going out on some radical idea, when I say that America and especially a station like Fox broadcasting this year, that it can be a bit too much.

I think your blame is mis-placed. The NFL doesnt do any of what you are saying except schedule the week off in between games...all the rest is done by the media.
And the reason? people eat it up and it makes the networks a fortune.
I understand why some get overloaded with it, but that's their own doing. There is always the whole "dont like it, dont watch it" thing...and to be honest I have avoided it a ton this week for the reason you suggest and because I have a vested interest this year.
As for FOX, I think they are FAR and away the best in the business when it comes to producing a football game.
