Super Bowl XLI  

Posted by Stan Harrington



Tis, the Eve before Super Bowl XLI (Forty One for Non-Romans), the most watched sporting event in the world. Although, some viewers do watch a little of the football game, a percentage of the viewers are only interested in the advertisements. The Super Bowl is most likely the only TV show that individuals watch in order to see the advertisements. The majority of the advertisements that you watch will be 30 second spots. Dependent on the placement of the spot, advertisers are paying up 2.6 million dollars for the spot, excluding the production cost. The top advertiser again this year will be from the folks that produce Budweiser Beer. General Motors expended the second highest budget for advertisements with Pepsi-Cola being third place on the list.

However, the emphasis should really be on the football game. Predictions run wild as to who will win the game between the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears. There are several ways to pick the winner. If you notice the symbol of the Colts is a horseshoe. However, when you tip the Bears symbol of a capital C on end, it also represents a horseshoe. If you are of Irish descent, you will recognize the horseshoe as a symbol of good luck. For good luck, the horseshoe must remain upright, or the luck runs out of it. The Chicago symbol of a C resembling a horseshoe is laying on it's side, consequently the luck of the Chicago Bears has run out. Pick the Colts to win Super Bowl XLI.

In the polls:
79% of the women predicted the Colts to win Super Bowl XLI
51% of the men predicted the Colts to Win Super Bowl XLI
86% of the Baby Boomers (father and mother know best) picked the Colts to win.
93% of the Blonds (Mama Bear excluded) predicted that Detroit to win Super Bowl XLI

MY PICK FOR SUPER BOWL XLI IS:
COLTS 23 CHICAGO 13

I do not usually watch the game at all...Super Bowel Sunday is a great day for me to hide from my family...until the babies...most of my family stuffed their butts in front of the TV and utalized the 4 hour game to take a nap....but this year we are going to actually have a Super Bowel Party...it is hosted by the moose clan and for some of us it will be a first time seeing their new home...What I will do durring the game ... provbably try the 4 hour nap thing on for size...or stuff my face till I cant not button my pants...Some day maybe my husband will be rich and I can take advantage of all the Super Bowel Sales at the mall....

What a super bowl PARTY...we just got home!!! Holly cow we did not stop eating and drinking...to bad for those poor Bears. I kinda slept through their butt kicking, though.
Heaths house is cute and it is perfect for Heather. The back yard has a river, six horses, three goats, and chickens. Quiet little place in the woods.

Sounds as if you had a lot of fun, I would have been there but did not get an invitation and we did not want to crash the party - just kidding, since the Super Bowl has gotten so big, I think we have only left home for one party. Although I had the final scores wrong, I came within the margin on the point spread. Good game but the Bears did have an off day.
