The Super Bowl
In reality there are a lot of people who adore football and very few don’t. However there are those who consider the National Football League as one of their sources of fun and entertainment, while others declare that due to different reasons they avoid watching it. But it is likely that no matter what your stance may be; you probably have heard of “The big game” as commonly referred to as “The Super Bowl”. This fifty-first edition of The Super Bowl held on February 5th, 2017 will be played between the teams from New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons . This year the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Houston will be hosting the event. If I were to pick two words for this game I would go for energetic.
The Super Bowl, by many is referred to just as the BIG GAME as it has been for over five decades now. I was just a poor kid in south Philly and they were rich guys. I’ve been involved in and around professional sports now since I graduated from high school. Starting back in 1977 at the Philadelphia Bulletin and covering the 76ers. Now, ESPN has made me a national columnist. It is my profession; it’s my vocation. I guess that is why ESPN tapped me to write the book on pro football and Philadelphia. Despite the rising popularity, the Super Bowl brings a lot of commercialization. And marketing which finds every avenue possible to increase their profit margins.
