Super Bowl Sunday is one of the most infamous days for sitting back, relaxing with friends, yelling at the players, all while sipping back a cold one. Ticket sales, for this particular day, are through the rough. People going to the game don't seem to care how much they spend, they just want the best seats in the house. Super Bowl Sunday has become so legendary, that there is only one other day that has a higher food and drink intake - Thanksgiving.
Besides great parties, food, beer, and great sports, the Super Bowl is known for one other big-ticket item - the commercials. Even if you cannot make it to the game, you still receive plenty of entertainment.
In the beginning, the Super Bowl was known as a showdown between the older National Football League and the younger American Football League. By the fourth Super Bowl game, this changed as the two leagues completed their merger. This is where the life of the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC) began.
The first Super Bowl game was played on January 15, 1967. The Green Bay Packers happened to be the most dominating team on either league, so it's no surprise that they played in the first Super Bowl. The Green Bay Packers played against the Kansas City Chiefs, in this game, and trampled them with a score of 35 - 10.
This was their first victory, but definitely was not their last. They moved on to win Super Bowl II, along with a total of five championship titles by the end of the decade.
The coach of the Packers, during this glory, was Vince Lombardi. The championship trophy, known today as the Vince Lombardi Trophy, got its name from these early years. Tiffany's makes the trophies. It takes 72 hours, to create each trophy, along with $12,500.
Everyone who plays in the championship, whether they win or lose, receives a championship ring signifying their accomplishment. It takes $2,500 - $5,000 to make each ring, depending whether it is a winners' ring or losers', and there are over 300 rings made each year.
After 40, some Super Bowl games the NFC and AFC are within arm's reach of each other. Both have won just over 20 games, with the NFC winning only one more than the AFC.
During the regular season, determinations are made for home field advantages and Wild Card teams. Wild card teams are those who are just behind the Division championship, or how played in the wrong division. Division winners are automatic shoe-ins for the playoffs.
After the season is over, and these selections are complete, the playoffs begin. Wild card teams do not have home field advantage, and play against other low ranked teams. Division champions, on the other hand, do have home field advantage, and play teams ranked around their level. Wild card teams, because of their ranking and home field disadvantage, rarely make it to the Super Bowl. However, four wild card teams have made it to the Super Bowl, and won!
The long history, of Football, has proven to be a true sport. This game will continue to be a hard one for the players, and one that the fans adore.
Super bowl XLIII (43), will be held on February 1, 2009 in Tampa, Florida. Predictions, for this year's Super Bowl, is that it will be one of the most enticing, enthralling games ever played. - 20785
