Super Bowl Sunday

Today is super bowl Sunday. The New England Patriots will take on the New York Giants. As you can see that I am rooting for the patriots to win. If New England wins they will be the second team in the NFL to have a perfect season and the first team to go 19-0. It is very exciting day and Every one is waiting for the kick off which is just a few moments away. This is one of the biggest sporting events in the America. Ticket prices are so expensive that the cheapest ticket is over 600 dollars.

Lets start with super bowl wins and records. The steelers have most super bowl wins (6). The Vikings, Broncos, and Bills are the teams with the most super bowl losses (4). 26 teams have been to the super bowl. The 49ers have won 5 super bowls and have lost none. The cowboys have been to the most super bowls (7). The only teams to win super bowls back to back are Packers, Dolphins, Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, Broncos, Patriots. The teams that have never been to a super bowl are the Browns, Texans, Jaguars, Lions, Saints, and Cardinals. Only 17 of the 32 teams have won the super bowl.

They also keep records for just the super bowl game it’s self. The longest field goal is held by Steve Christie who played for Green bay in super bowl 2 (54 yards). Longest run from scrimmage is Marcus Allen who played for the raiders in super bowl 18 (74 yards). The record for longest pass completion is held by Brett Farve ( to Antonio Freeman) was 81 yards in super bowl 31. Steve Young who played for the 49ers has the record of most touchdown passes (6). Reggie White holds the record of most sacks in one game (3).

Now I am going to tell you about some super bowl moments. Joe Namath who was the quarter back for the jets in super bowl 3 said his team would up set the highly favored colts and they beat the colts 16-7. John Elway lost three super bowls than won two back to back. Who could forget super bowl 34's last play the titans are a touchdown a way from wining the game, they are on the one yard line and time is about to expire. They and it off to running back Kevin Dyson who ran it and was tackled inches before the touchdown right as time expired on the clock and the titans lost. It was kind of like the ending to the movie Friday night lights.

Their one thing people look forward to about the super bowl, Commercials. The commercials that play during the super bowl are some of the funniest. I look forward to watching them this year. And with any station you have to pay money to air a commercial. This year it costs 2.7 million dollars for a 30 sec. slot during the super bowl. This year will be a very good game.
