Super Bowl

The NFL championship game of professional American football, played annually by the top teams of the AFC and NFC.

Americans seem to consider this the most significant yearly sports event, and get glued to their TVs whenever Super Sunday rolls around. Consequently, advertisers pay exhorbitant fees to show their commercials to this vast audience. They're usually pretty good, too.

An event during which many new commercials are played. These commercials often try to be humorous but fail. The most successful Super Bowl advertisement was Apple Computer's 1984 ad, which introduced the Macintosh and portrayed IBM as Big Brother (if only they had known more about Microsoft...). Today these commercials usually cost about $2 million a pop.

Oh yeah, apparently there's some kind of game involved too. Don't know what that's all about.

The Most Valuable Player, or MVP, of the Super Bowl is given the Pete Rozelle trophy. It was named the Pete Rozelle trophy since Super Bowl XXV (1991). Rozelle was a former NFL commissioner. Since 1967-1989, the trophy was presented by Sport magazine. Currently, the MVP is chosen by a 15-member panel made, which is made up of national pro football writers and broadcasters chosen by the NFL (80 percent) and fans voting via the internet (20 percent).
