XLVIII

Just think, 49 years ago we had never heard of a Super Bowl, look at it now, perhaps the biggest event of any kind in the world, it's bigger then the Emmy's or the Oscar's. The money that is generated is beyond comprehension, the half time event is perhaps one of, if not the biggest entertainment of the year. And, in between all of this, some guys are playing a game, it's a week long event.

Cats play football on one commercial, dogs do on another. How and why did this become such a world-wide event. Television did it. It is no longer a sporting event, it is a television show, a television week of continual specials, sneak previews of commercials. The commercials generate more interest than the game.

And this year, some genius decided to have the game in a "cold weather" environment, in New Jersey, not one of the warm, heated multi-million dollar arenas around the country.

Each year the event grows larger, bigger, greater, longer with greater viewing audiences. Who is playing in this game .... Iorgot .........
