By: Rich Stephenson

The premier association of professional American Football is the National Football League. The championship game of National Football League is the Super Bowl. Super Bowl is a most watched American broad cast. Most of the popular singers and musicians perform during the pre-game as well as half time ceremonies of the game. The Super Bowl game day is known as Super Bowl Sunday and it is considered as a de facto American national holiday. Next to Thanksgiving Day, Super Bowl Sunday is the largest U.S food consumption day.

The exclusive television broadcast rights for the Super Bowl Sunday rotate among the major American Television networks. The commercial airtime for the Super Bowl broad cast is the most expensive due to its high viewship.

Another significant aspect of the event is the watching and the discussion of the broadcast’s commercials.

The Super Bowl was started as a part of the merger agreement between NFL and the American Football League in January 15, 1967. There was a contract between the two league’s that they would play in an AFL-NFL Championship Game until the merger completion, Each league became a “conference” after the merger of the two leagues in 1970 and the game was played between the conference champions. The name Super Bowl was coined by Lamar Hunt, the former owner of the Kansas City Chiefs and a founding member of the American Football League. He named it after watching his children playing with a Super Ball. Each game in Super Ball is identified with Roman numerals rather than the year in which it take place. In 1967, Super Bowl I was performed to resolve the champions of the 1966 regular season where as Super Bowl XLIV will be played to decide the 2009 regular season champion in 2010.
