10 Trivia Tidbits About Super Bowl Sunday

Football fans and arm chair quarterbacks alike will be surrounding their big plasma or LED big screen this Sunday as Football's best two teams go head-to-head.  Not only will this be a battle against Baltimore and San Francisco, but also the first time in the history of the big game that pits brother against brother. John and Jim Harbaugh will face off against each other as the coach of their respective teams and the ultimate prize will be the Lombardi Trophy.

Growing up in Maine, I watched some baseball (Boston) and watch a little football (New England), but I do have very fond memories of hanging out with my next door neighbors watching the big game every year. I remember the 2 years Dallas went to the 'big show' back to back. In '78 they beat  Denver 27-10 and the following year lost to Pittsburgh 35-31.

Who would have thought that 3 and half decades later, this little kid from Bangor, Maine who was rooting for 'America's Team' would end up in the Lone Star State. Kinda ironic, huh?
