SUPER BOWL XLIII




Super Bowl XLIII Steelers Vs. Cardinals

Today is the big game, deciding the 2008 champion of the NFL.
It's a day to party, cheer, eat, drink, laugh at commercials, listen to a music legend, be a sideline coach and sport your team colors.

Who will win? Time will tell. It isn't over until it's over.
I predict a late game come-back from the Cardinals to win, with a score of 27-21.

Here are a couple Super Bowl factoids.

Ticket Prices:
A ticket cost $6 when Bart Starr, Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers beat Kansas City 35-10 in that first game. The top ticket for this weekend's matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals goes for $1,000.

Name of the game:
It was officially the AFL-NFL World Championship Game in the 1960s. Commissioner Pete Rozelle preferred "The Big One" but that got nixed. The late Lamar Hunt, among the AFL's founders, suggested "Super Bowl" as a temporary fix. He got the name idea after seeing his daughter bounce a SuperBall.
