The Super Bowl is the biggest, most-watched game played in sports all year.
I have been blessed to cover six Super Bowls. It’s hard to explain the electricity of the event.
No matter how hard the networks try to cover anything and everything that is at and around the event.
The entertainment and sports stars who visit during Super Bowl week are too many to name.
Nobody parties or feeds like the National Football League.It’s a week of great food and fun mixed in with the hardest seven days of continuous work a writer will do all year.
Nonetheless, it is an amazing experience and the toil is worth the reward.Super Bowl XLII could go down as the most watched ever.
The pregame storylines are countless. This game has drama, suspense and intrigue to go along with the fact that the cities of Boston and New York love to hate each other.
One team is going for the greatest season in the history of the NFL. Then there’s another New York team trying to duplicate the biggest upset in Super Bowl history.
None of the baby boomers who witnessed the New York Jets upset of the Baltimore Colts will ever forget quarterback Joe Namath running off the field waving his index finger into the sky to signify his team was No. 1 following Super Bowl III.
Both cities are planning Super Tuesday victory parades.The Patriots are already offering a chance to reserve your copy of the book 19-0.
That reminds me of the true story of the RSS Titanic, billed as the ship that “God himself couldn’t sink.” Can the New York Giants sack Tom Brady and sink the Patriots?Let’s look at what the experts from Varsity Sports Media think.

So much anti-Patriot banter fuels game-changing performances by Junior Seau on defense and Wes Welker on offense. Archie, I mean Peyton, I mean Eli Manning looks strong early, but fades in the second half. Brandon Jacobs runs for 100 yards and a TD. Plaxico Burress is swarmed all night but fights the good fight. Tom Brady hooks up with three different receivers and Laurence Maroney contributes two scores. And the greatest season in pro sports history is sealed. Patriots 35, Giants 20

Too much Bill Belichick, too much Tom Brady, too much Plaxico Burress, too much Teddy Bruschii, too much Mike Vrabel, too much Junior Seau. The list goes on and on. There's a reason why the Patriots are undefeated and are on the verge of history. New England won the regular season finale between the two teams 38-35. The Giants will make it close again and Eli Manning will have a heroic game, but the Patriots have too many game-breakers for the Giants to withstand. Patriots 24, Giants 17
Stump Martin, Managing Editor VSM’s Tennessee Football magazine
If the New England Patriots weren’t already on a mission, the latest story that surfaced about the possibility that they taped the St. Louis Rams in a walk through the day before the 2002 Super Bowl should motivate them. This should make for an interesting Super Bowl. The Patriots were already playing for a purpose. Now pride and integrity are involved. The New York Giants are playing for pride also. This is the third time that these teams have played this season. For the first time in history, two teams will have closed out the exhibition season, regular season and the Super Bowl in the same year. A bookie, who has since died, once told me that when two teams have already played during the season a good bet is that the game will be much closer the second time around. Now, what is the rule for the third time in one season? Hey, the Patriots might have the Giants number and their signals. Sadly, the best home run hitter, base hitter and pitcher of all-time are now tainted with their past. Now, if the Patriots win Super Bowl XLII the greatest NFL team of all-time will also be tainted. Patriots 42, Giants 24
