Even if you’re not a football fan the Super Bowl is the one game all year that everybody watches, even if it is just for the commercials or the half time show.  So with that in mind, everybody needs a few facts before the important event.  The big game with the Arizona Cardinals (NFC) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC) starts at 3:00PM Pacific Time on Sunday, February 1, 2009.  If you are one of the chosen few who actually attends the game (72,500 to be exact) you should already have your ticket to the game and your bags packed for the trip to the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.  The reality is that most of us will find our front row seats in our living rooms or at someone’s Super Bowl Party watching NBC.  If you are watching the game on TV you will have lots of company, the game will be distributed internationally by the NFL and NFL International to more than 220 countries and broadcast in 30 different languages.  Each of the winning players will receive $78,000 per man and the losers will receive $40,000 each.  Sounds like even the losers are winners in this game.

Now for those of you that are more interested in the half-time show than the game, I can say you have good reason because the entertainer for those magical twelve minutes this year is “The Boss“, Bruce Springsteen himself.  Probably the NFL was looking for someone that could hold the crowd’s interest without a wardrobe malfunction after that incident with Janet Jackson in 2004.

Then for the rest of the crowd who is just going to watch for the commercials there’s a real treat for us in Sacramento because one of the commercials is being produced by Bongo Studio right here in Sacramento.  The spot is for a commercial to promote the NFL so look for it and be proud of our home town talent.
