Who's playing in the Superbowl this year?
Won't you be there Don? Lol
Mike, not this year. I only get to go once every three years according to our current arrangement with the NFL since 2006. The TV rights are rotated between CBS, Fox, and NBC. My next Superbowl, in two years, will be my 16th, but, who knows, I might be retired before then.
Here is a bit of Superbowl trivia I bet y'all didn't know. Fifty years ago at the first "meeting between the American Football League and the National Footbal League" in 1967 from Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, it was broadcast by both CBS (TV rights for the NFL)and NBC (TV rights for the AFL). This was before it was called Superbowl. When the second half began, NBC got caught in commercial so the teams re-did the kickoff.
A couple more current Superbowl L rumors or facts. This Sunday, CBS will introduce their new logo and will use 70 game cameras and 12 production trucks....and some "new" 360 degree playback technology that we have all ready been using for a couple of years. Also, viewers will be able to check out the quarterback's view from the pocket to other player's perspectives on the field, and it can be animated, too. This new technology could even influence the game. The officials are able to use any replays a network shows when they review a play.
Next year, Superbowl LI will be in Houston. I was hoping that it would be our turn because that would be like a home game for me, but if I'm not mistaken, I think it is Fox's year.
