X Problems With The Super Bowl

photo by answers.com Veni, vidi, vici.


I) Neutral site venues, the tedium of the sunbelt or dome stadiums. The virtual monopoly of Florida, New Orleans or southern California (however not since 1993).Why should the home fans of the best team left standing after the regular and postseason
be forced to watch the game at home on TV?

II) The momentum killing break before the Super Bowl. Week after week of glorious football put on hold for no good reason.

III) The hype, to counteract the momentum killing break, it is necessary to hype an event that does not need it. The hype almost reduces the Championship to Don King Boxing levels.

IV) February is too late for football, this makes the Pro Bowl, which is the lamest all star game in major North American sports virtually a Valentine Day event.

V) There is something wrong when the commercials are almost overshadowing the game.

VI) The lame halftime show. One of the most memorial Super Bowl moments in history was the Janet Jackson Justin Timberlake wardrobe malfunction very revealing.

VII)The name itself Bowl Games are for college football 'Super Bowl' lacks the dignity of the World Series or Stanley Cup

VIII) It is an anticlimax it is rarely close, it is often over by halftime.

IX) I think of NFL football as a game played on Sunday afternoons not Sunday Night. The Super Bowl should be played during daylight hours.

X) The use of Roman numerals, why not use Latin as the official language of the NFL?
