Source?

I didn't see any of this in the source article [1] regarding the "meaning" of the logo:

The two horizontal white stripes in the middle represent the vertical lines on the University of Phoenix Stadium. The turquoise Roman numerals represent the Native American culture of Arizona. The red star represents the AFC and the blue star represents the NFC.Twigboy 22:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I got it from the press confrece that i watched on the NFL Network.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.157.188.124 (talk) 15:49, February 9, 2007 (UTC)

Time?

What is the time of the event? Is it known yet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.223.48.195 (talk) 21:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The kickoff is tentatively scheduled for 6:17 PM EST/4:17 PM Mountain Standard Time on February 3rd. This is according to the NFL.com website and their SuperBowl.com site as well. NoseNuggets (talk) 3:00 PM US EST Jan 17 2008.

That's a great question and the answer should be on the page. I specifically came here looking for the kickoff time and didn't find it. After rooting around Google a little, here's what I found. The Game Broadcast on FOX begins at 6 PM EST. And the actual start time is listed as 6.17 pm EST all over their site The general consensus on the internet seems however to be the 6:18 PM EST time. But according to "AZ Super Bowl: Game Day Information" at http://www.azsuperbowl.com/game_day.aspx the kickoff time is as of today (Jan 24) listed at 6:30 PM, but 4 days ago (on Jan 20) this same page said 6:18 PM EST according to the Google cache (link no longer valid) ( http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:lKJaePStWVAJ:www.azsuperbowl.com/game_day.aspx+super+bowl+XLII+kickoff+pm&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us ). Despite this, I think the bottom line is that 6:18 PM EST is most likely the correct answer, but moreover, the kickoff time should definitely be given in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.117.140 (talk) 00:46, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I entered this page to find the time. I will put it on the page. It really ought to be on the page. Dogru144 (talk) 02:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The page currently lists 6:18 PM EST. Since the game is being held in Arizona which is in MST, the 4:18PM MST time should at least be listed as well, if not primarily.

Teams?

What teams will be playing? I know the Patriots, but who else? Ogeez (talk) 23:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See NFL playoffs, 2007-08. Patriots are not assured to be in the Super Bowl. They still have two more games to win before that happens.—Twigboy (talk) 23:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's going to the be the winner of the Chargers/Patriots game vs. either the Packers, Cowboys, or Giants. Useight (talk) 21:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Edited by NoseNuggets (talk) Jan 17 2008 3:00 PM US EST.[reply]
Thank you for the update, Nuggets, when I wrote that sentence, the Cowboys had yet to be eliminated from the playoffs. Useight (talk) 03:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It will be the Patriots vs. the winner of the Packers/Giants game. Useight (talk) 23:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Turns out it will be the Patriots vs. the Giants. Useight (talk) 03:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Home Team?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this year the AFC team is "home," no? I seem to remember the NFC being the home team in odd Super Bowls (i.e. XXV) so that means it's the AFC's turn this year. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 05:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. New England is the home team. ---CWY2190TC 05:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Out of curiousity, how is New England the "home team" since the Bowl game is being played in Arizona? Pineconn (talk) 19:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is mainly for the coin toss. The AFC team is the "home team" this year and the NFC team will be the "home team" next year. The away team gets to call the toss and the home team gets to pick if they want to wear their dark or light jerseys. Besides that there is no importance. ---CWY2190TC 19:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And it is officially recorded as a neutral-site game, so it technically does not count in the Giants' away and Patriots' home winning streaks.—Twigboy (talk) 21:15, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, gotcha. Thanks, guys. Pineconn (talk) 00:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not to mention which team gets the home team locker room. Useight (talk) 06:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if I'm correct, it has something to do with who warms up when. Smartyllama (talk) 17:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, since the Superbowl is being played in a stadium with retractable roof, home team holds the decision to whther the roof will stay open or closed during the game. Truelier (talk) 20:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it really is just the jerseys and the coin toss. The retractable roof is addressed in the article as being league-governed in a neutral-site game.—Twigboy (talk) 22:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The roof thing is correct (that is league governed, just as the procedings of the game is). But the home/away designation also determines where the two teams practice in the week leading up the game. Typically the "home" team practices at the host team's practice facility (i.e., Arizona Cardinals practice facility), whereas the "away" team practices at another location, usually a local college or other nearby stadium. Home/away also determines which locker room, and which sidelines of the field the teams utilize.Doctorindy (talk) 14:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Commercials

Just found this cool blog, it has a top 10 list of some great Super Bowl commercials. Here's the link: http://blog.ruckus.com/2008/01/29/380/


I just heard Obama and Hillary bought 8 ads each followed by Romney with 8, Edwards 4, McCain 3, and Paul 1 according to Fox News and MSNBC with altogether with 35 ads outbidding several advertisers i.e. (United Airlines, Fedex, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Apple Computer, Ford, Chevrolet, IBM) that were going to air new commercials. I also heard that Fox News is drawing fire over an Air Canada ad that's going to air showing the good things about Canada during the Superbowl. Anybody else contribute or confirm? 164.107.111.126 (talk) 17:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems very unlikely that there would be 32 ads for presidential candidates. Especially three candidates with 8 (that's going to cost $16 million). Wikipedia is not for speculation or rumors, do you have a concrete source? Useight (talk) 17:57, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fox News was talking about it. 164.107.111.126 (talk) 18:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find anything about it at foxnews.com. Useight (talk) 18:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fair and balanced, but incorrectTwigboy (talk) 18:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, it is false. Fox themselves said there will be no political ads whatsoever. Whoever came up with those numbers is blowing smoke. JMyrleFuller (talk) 00:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking of commercials, why is there no mention of the Toshiba HD DVD commercial? This is pretty big because they purchased the 30 second time slot prior to Warner becoming Blu-ray Disc exclusive, which brought the BD market share to 93%.(Myscrnnm (talk) 18:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Family members on opposite teams

Giants DE Justin Tuck and Pats LB Adalius Thomas are cousins. Should this be mentioned somewhere? Referenced at bottom, his personal life. --EndlessDan 19:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Somewhat related, Giants long-snapper Zak DeOssie's father, Steve DeOssie, played for both the Giants and the Patriots in his career, and won Super Bowl XXV with the Giants. http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2008/02/01/Features/Bear-Fills.Giant.Shoes-3182988.shtml Chaz!

Blue Angels to perform Fly Over

03 Super Bowl Flyover —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.91.132.192 (talk) 00:20, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

do you have a reference? RC-0722 communicator/kills 21:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the official site:

http://www.blueangels.navy.mil/index.htm under schedule it says February 03: Super Bowl Flyover —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.243.109.44 (talk) 07:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then add it. RC-0722 communicator/kills 16:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I listed it in the "entertainment" section because that's where it seems to fit best. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 04:19, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. RC-0722 communicator/kills 18:25, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

semi-protection

I'd like to keep semi-protection off for as much as we can.. we have done this with Super Bowl XL and Super Bowl XLI and it works out okay, several admins will be watching this page all day Sunday. I request that other admins use short semi-protections especially the day of the game, in response to heavy vandalism. Also the page should be semi-protected when the game ends... for some reason vandalism usually becomes utterly unmanageable at that specific point.

Generally this is within the spirit of keeping highly visible pages open for IP editing, which is important to Wikipedia. I am sure there will be some periods where vandalism is too high, but that's why I'm asking for short bursts of protection rather than a month of it straight. --W.marsh 00:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I protected the page because as the super bowl gets close, vandalisim will increase. Following the IAR policy, semi-protecting the page will leave it looking better, which in my opnion, is more valuable than recruting people. At the very least, it should be protected when the game starts. The Placebo Effect (talk) 19:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But isn't this protection a little too early? There hasn't been a whole lot of vandalism today yet. RC-0722 communicator/kills 19:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ultimately it's specifically against policy and the spirit of Wikipedia's pillars (WP:5P). Why have protection policy if we're just going to ignore it all the time? There's still a lot of work to be done sprucing this page up and not much vandalism yet, so we should really keep it unprotected... or at least get a consensus here for this preemptive protection. --W.marsh 19:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think we should protect pages unless there is a lot of vandalism going on now; not a lot of expected vandalism. BTW, get a combine and go race the Amish. RC-0722 communicator/kills 19:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what that comment was supposed to mean.... But i think at least during the game and for a few days after, it should be semi. This will be very prone to vandalisim and it would be much easier to have it protected instead of having to revert each fans comments on the game form the page —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Placebo Effect (talkcontribs) 20:21, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think it should be semi-protected when the vandalism starts, then leave it at semi for about maybe a week. Besides, if an IP wants to add something, they can ask here. Burner0718(Jibba Jabba!) 20:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Read my userpage to find out what it means... RC-0722 communicator/kills 20:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could we at least get the protection down so all "established users" can edit it. If not, February 3 should be wikilinked in the "Advertisements" section. I just missed being able to edit that I guess, because the "edit" tab was there, then I couldn't submit. I'd like to be able to edit, please. :) -- bmitchelfTF 21:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I left a note for the admin who fully protected asking to reduce to semi. The vandalism has already started and is not being removed. While we want to balance access, we also must focus on quality. Wikipedia's coverage will almost certainly be reported on so we should put our best product forward. KnightLago (talk) 21:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A page like this should never be full protected for 4 days... I unprotected. --W.marsh 21:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Theres a penis on the page -_-". setsuka13[reply]

Thank you. RC-0722 communicator/kills 21:08, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
fr... I meant semi protect, that was a error, vandalisim had already started to pickup since it was unprotected, so ifigured that was the right time, i just choose the wrong protection level. The Placebo Effect (talk) 21:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to see the page semi'd for 24 hours. Right before full protection was put on editors (including myself) were having a tough time keeping up with the vandals. --NeilN talkcontribs 21:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree but for a few days, people aren't monitoring the article. When I read it there were references to what one team would do to the other teams' mothers. So, I think semi-protection is in order NOW. KnightLago (talk) 21:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone who wants page semi-protected can put it on their watchlists, and manually protect it instead. Put your money where your mouth is, people! :-) --Kim Bruning (talk) 21:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, assuming they don't want to actually watch the game. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:26, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ohhhh, now I get it! Everyone wants to watch the game, so they all want to be lazy and just have an admin semi-protect the page. Ahhhhhhhhh!--Kim Bruning (talk) 21:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fine Kim, remove the protection, and camp here for the rest of the night and watch the article. You revert the vandalism that has already started. Good luuuuccckkkkk! KnightLago (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with KnightLago. --NeilN talkcontribs 21:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Easier said than done. While I was attempting to repair one vandalism, two others vandal edits were submitted and my original edit was lost because of an edit conflict. --NeilN talkcontribs 21:48, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, that is the whole point. KnightLago (talk) 21:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'm confused. Have we agreed on anything yet? RC-0722 communicator/kills 21:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it appears to be semi-protected, as well it should be. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 22:09, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we could give you all revert buttons? Then you can kill vandalism in seconds. :-) --Kim Bruning (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have rollback or popups then you already have one. BTW, we need to perform an L shaped ambush on the vandals. RC-0722 communicator/kills 22:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Or Twinkle. :-) Burner0718(Jibba Jabba!) 22:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Broadcast in Japan

The game will be aired live on NHK's BS-1 (satellite TV station). The broadcast should contain the option of English (Fox's) or Japanese commentary. It will be free for anyone with a BS antenna (not a 100 percent given for all households in Japan). http://www.nfljapan.co.jp/season/feature/superbowl2008/tv/ Lostinube (talk) 06:15, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added and noted. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 17:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who said FUCK during the pre-game show on FOX? Anyone?

"You finally found a hat that fits your fuckin' head"

Who was it? It was either Terry Bradshaw or Jimmy Johnson when Howie Long was putting on a Boston Red Sox hat.

Is that an FCC violation?

Who cares, I certainly is not notable enough for Wikipedia. --Krm500 (talk) 23:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Only if somebody makes a big deal out of it tomorrow. Then it's notable. If Janet Jackson had immediately covered up instead of letting the camera linger, that wouldn't have been notable either. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 23:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think he said that. I think he said "you finally found a hat that fits your bucket head"

Penis solution

As someone else noted on the top of the discussion page; There was a big picture of a penis in the article, I tried to remove it with an edit but I couldn't find the image. I replaced the image on commons with a 1x1 px size jpeg, so it's probably an image on this page, but instead of a penis it's a white pixel hiding somewhere behind the Wikipedia logo. I didn't take a screenshot of it, but check with more users and they can confirm it was there. --Krm500 (talk) 23:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I keep reloading and the picture's still there for me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.104.172 (talkcontribs)

Probably in some template. Evercat (talk) 23:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, its gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.104.172 (talkcontribs)
(3x edit conflict) The vandalism was on {{NFL on FOX}}. I've fixed it now. This kind of template-inclusion vandalism occured on 2008 before, so I knew where to look for it. -- RattleMan 23:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it was (also?) in Template:2007 NFL season by team. Evercat (talk) 23:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was a second hit of vandalism a few minutes later. One occured at 23:25, the other at 23:36. I recommend sprotection for all templates included on this page. -- RattleMan 23:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have semi-protected all included templates for 24 hours. Evercat (talk) 23:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Score

Should we have the score before the game is over? RC-0722 communicator/kills 00:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, if I don't get a response I'm removing the score. RC-0722 communicator/kills 00:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, but that falls into the category of a losing battle. --B (talk) 00:11, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Then is it OK if I revert? Following the three revert rule of course... RC-0722 communicator/kills 00:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think having scores in the middle of the game is pointless and only causes problems with potential downstream uses (ie, answers.com picks up their copy in the middle of the game) but I'm in the minority on that. If you remove it, someone will put it back in exactly 22.8 seconds. --B (talk) 00:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
People often do this... if they want to, I say let them. It would be a ton of reverts to stop this... --W.marsh 00:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
too bad. If they don't like it; Put a Helmet On. RC-0722 communicator/kills 00:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia isn't a online scoreboard, I personally don't think it should be here before the game is over but as B said, removing it will be a fighting losing battle. Burner0718(Jibba Jabba!) 00:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any harm in posting the progress of the game's score. Play-by-play would be too much, though. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 00:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But scores aren't official until the game is over... RC-0722 communicator/kills 00:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Were not posting the final scores, who says people shouldn't get an update from wikipedia, what harm does it cause, it has more potential to provide information than hurt with mis-information. --Jacksong (talk) 00:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Once the next play has started, there's no way a score is going to be erased. We have to record these eventually so why not let people do it now if they want to? --W.marsh 00:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be no consensus for removing the score, so please stop doing it... it's just confusing everyone. --W.marsh 00:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Let's leave it up but what about leaving the total blank until it is final?--Jacksong (talk) 00:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Good idea. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 00:43, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me. Burner0718(Jibba Jabba!) 00:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
3rd quarter has not started yet why don't we revert the zero's to hyphens?--Jacksong (talk) 00:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry 'bout that. Didn't see the "clear" consensus here; but I still don't like it... RC-0722 communicator/kills 00:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Half time score yes, other scores no. Mostlyharmless (talk) 01:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

templates

could we maybe do something about the templates at the bottom of the page? they seem to be hogging up a lot a room, and are not exactly visually appealling.

agreed. they're useful, but ugly. give it a show/hide toggle button.-Pitchtold12039 (talk) 00:59, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately I think this the standard template setup for all Superbowl articles. --W.marsh 01:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

game summary

the game summary shouldn't be added until after the game is over. Thoughts? RC-0722 communicator/kills 01:06, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I said above, it's not like the scoring drives are going to be undone... if people want to document them now, why not? It will help the article improve faster. Again, please stop removing content from the article... it's counterproductive. --W.marsh 01:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But the whole game could be struck out on a technicality. There could be an earthquake and they could postpone the game; then where are we? RC-0722 communicator/kills 01:11, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since that can't possibly be a serious objection... I guess you consent to including the scoring drive summary? --W.marsh 01:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please. In the .00001% chance that that happens, the article can say that each drive happened until the "disaster" and then the game was postponed. I don't think this is an issue. If people add something that is not inaccurate and is well-written and sourced, it should stay until a detailed game summary can be drawn up after the game is over. J.delanoygabsadds 01:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
that's so unlikely that if it happens removing the game summary would be the least of our problems. I think we should add to the scoring summary throughout the game. portions or the whole section can always be removed later should something catastrophic happen.GregX102 (talk) 01:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Somebody's been watching Black Sunday. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 01:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying that that would happen; I'm just saying that something "like" it could happen and they could postpone the game. RC-0722 communicator/kills 01:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, I've never even heard of black sunday. RC-0722 communicator/kills 01:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you find a source that confirms the game would be postponed and replayed in its entirety in the event of a disaster? As opposed to picking up where it left off, that is. Instead of an earthquake, how about, for example, a power outage that lasts for 3 days or something. That's a bit more likely of a scenario.

I am being serious, for once. I don't know what the rules are in the event of a lengthy game interruption due to technical problems. But I might be able to find out. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 01:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, here it is, from the book Official Rules of the NFL, 2007 edition, Rule 17 (Emergencies and Unfair Acts), Section 1 (Emergencies), Article 8: "If, under emergency circumstances, an interrupted regular-season or post-season game cannot be completed on the same day, such game will be rescheduled by the Commissioner and resumed at that point." (Italics mine.) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 01:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with updating the score infobox is that a downstream use (like answers.com) could pick it up in the middle of the 4th quarter and then it looks like we are publishing incorrect information. That same problem doesn't exist with a partial recap as the context would make it clear that it is merely incomplete, not incorrect. --B (talk) 01:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hesky tesky shatzkabini putchi on the beatnica with knifis (to find out what this means, visit my userpage). BTW, an earthquake is more feasible than a power outage due to the many backup generators. Furthermore, I am sorry that some of you think that I am only good for a few laughs and that my ideas are not taken seriously. I would also like to point out that and earthquake was just an example, it was not supposed to imply that that would happen during the game. I will, however, admit that I am wrong in this case, as I did not know that they would resume from the point where the accident happened, for I was under the impression that they would "restart" the game. I still believe that we should not have this section on the article until the game is over, but I can see that I am beaten. RC-0722 communicator/kills 02:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Last year's article was quiet until the game was played, other than some joker posting a Bears win. That does not mean that that's the only way to do things. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's a 4-point game at the 2-minute warning, so the issue will soon be moot. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fox sports robot (cletis) and the Terminator

Has anyone other than me noticed the battle going on between Cletis and the Terminator on the screens before the game resumes after commercial breaks?J.delanoygabsadds 02:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
