  It

  comes
• 1:24
  right
• 1:24
  off
• 1:24
  our
• 1:25
  tongue.
• 1:25
  It's
• 1:25
  so
• 1:25
  natural
• 1:26
  to
• 1:26
  say,
• 1:27
  but
• 1:27
  it
• 1:27
  wasn't
• 1:28
  always
• 1:28
  that
• 1:28
  way,
• 1:29
  and
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29

• 1:29
  wasn't
• 1:29
  always
• 1:30
  called
• 1:30
  that
• 1:30
  way.
• 1:31
  Super
• 1:31
  Bowl
• 1:31
  1
• 1:32
  was
• 1:32
  played
• 1:32
  on
• 1:32
  January
• 1:33
  15,
• 1:34
  1967,
• 1:35
  between
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  Green
• 1:35
  Bay
• 1:35
  packers
• 1:36
  and
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  Kansas
• 1:37
  City
• 1:37
  Chiefs.
• 1:37
  But
• 1:38
  it
• 1:38
  was
• 1:38
  more
• 1:38
  of
• 1:39
  a.
• 1:39
  A
• 1:39
  contest
• 1:40
  of
• 1:40
  two
• 1:40
  rival
• 1:41
  leagues
• 1:42
  that
• 1:42
  were
• 1:42
  just
• 1:42
  finally
• 1:43
  starting
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  agree
• 1:44
  on
• 1:44
  something.
• 1:45
  They
• 1:45
  agreed
• 1:45
  on
• 1:45
  playing
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  championship
• 1:46
  game

  So

  Pete

  and

  fend
• 1:57
  off

  1960s,

  right
• 2:48
  around

  where

  after

  War
• 3:15
  II,
• 3:15
  was

• 3:17
  Television
• 3:17
  was

  bringing

  in
• 3:18
  some
• 3:18
  newfound
• 3:19
  revenue
• 3:19
  that

  The

  sort
• 3:22
  of

  jumped
• 3:22
  on
• 3:23
  the

  bandwagon
• 3:23
  hard
• 3:24
  and

  making

  some,
• 3:24
  some
• 3:25
  good
• 3:25
  money.

  getting

  But,

  a

  money

  That's
• 3:29
  what
• 3:30
  it's
• 3:30
  a

  business.
• 3:30
  And

  that's
• 3:30
  what
• 3:31
  they're
• 3:31
  there

  at
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  point,
• 4:38
  at
• 4:38
  least
• 4:38
  not
• 4:38
  the

  League
• 4:39
  that
• 4:39
  we

  know

  today.
• 4:41
  But
• 4:41
  that
• 4:42
  was
• 4:42
  another
• 4:42
  name
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  sort
• 4:43
  of
• 4:43
  went
• 4:43
  by.
• 4:44
  So
• 4:44
  they
• 4:44
  eventually,
• 4:45
  they
• 4:45
  called
• 4:46
  this
• 4:46
  the
• 4:47
  AFL
• 4:47
  NFL
• 4:49
  World
• 4:49
  Championship
• 4:50
  Game
• 4:51
  is
• 4:51
  basically
• 4:52
  how
• 4:52
  that
• 4:52
  that
• 4:53
  name
• 4:53
  came
• 4:53
  up.
• 4:54
  So
• 4:54
  they
• 4:54
  wanted
• 4:55
  to,
• 4:56
  you
• 4:56
  know,
• 4:56
  have
• 4:56
  this
• 4:58
  name,
• 4:58
  be
• 4:59
  something
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  people
• 4:59
  would
• 4:59
  be
• 5:00
  catchy
• 5:00
  and
• 5:00
  would
• 5:00
  go
• 5:00
  on
• 5:01
  for
• 5:01
  years
• 5:01
  and
• 5:01
  years.
• 5:02
  But
• 5:03
  Lamar
• 5:03
  hunt
• 5:04
  left
• 5:04
  that
• 5:04
  1966
• 5:05
  meeting
• 5:06
  and
• 5:06
  just
• 5:06
  like,
• 5:07
  oh,
• 5:07
  gosh,
• 5:07
  this
• 5:07
  is.
• 5:08
  That's
• 5:08
  just.
• 5:08
  These
• 5:08
  are
• 5:09
  terrible
• 5:09
  names.
• 5:09
  And,
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  know,
• 5:10
  it's
• 5:10
  hard
• 5:11
  to.
• 5:11
  For
• 5:11
  somebody
• 5:12
  to
• 5:12
  remember
• 5:12
  AFL
• 5:13
  NFL
• 5:13
  Championship
• 5:14
  Game
• 5:14
  or
• 5:14
  whatever
• 5:14
  it
• 5:15
  was,
• 5:15
  and,
• 5:16
  you
• 5:17
  know,
• 5:17
  just.
• 5:17
  Just
• 5:17
  never
• 5:18
  rolled
• 5:18
  off
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  tongue.
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  said,
• 5:19
  this
• 5:19
  can't
• 5:19
  be
• 5:19
  catchy
• 5:20
  like,
• 5:20
  you
• 5:20
  know,
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  World
• 5:21
  Series,
• 5:21
  you
• 5:21
  know
• 5:21
  that.
• 5:22
  You
• 5:22
  know
• 5:22
  what
• 5:22
  that
• 5:22
  is.
• 5:23
  So
• 5:23
  they
• 5:24
  eventually
• 5:25
  he
• 5:26
  wanted
• 5:26
  something
• 5:26
  simple
• 5:27
  like
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  Rose
• 5:27
  bowl
• 5:28
  or
• 5:28
  something.
• 5:28
  But
• 5:29
  back
• 5:29
  in
• 5:29
  1960,
• 5:30
  in
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  mid-1960s,
• 5:32
  there
• 5:32
  was
• 5:32
  a
• 5:33
  little
• 5:33
  pink
• 5:34
  ball
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  was
• 5:35
  released
• 5:35
  by
• 5:35
  a
• 5:35
  company
• 5:36
  named
• 5:36
  Whammo,
• 5:37
  who
• 5:37
  had
• 5:37
  some
• 5:37
  really
• 5:38
  cool
• 5:38
  toys
• 5:38
  out
• 5:39
  there,
• 5:39
  some
• 5:39
  Frisbees
• 5:39
  and
• 5:40
  balls
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  things
• 5:40
  like
• 5:40
  that.
• 5:41
  And
• 5:41
  Whammo
• 5:42
  came
• 5:42
  out,
• 5:42
  this
• 5:42
  pink
• 5:43
  ball
• 5:44
  about
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  size
• 5:44
  of
• 5:44
  a
• 5:45
  tennis
• 5:45
  ball
• 5:45
  that
• 5:46
  they
• 5:46
  called
• 5:46
  a
• 5:47
  super
• 5:47
  ball.
• 5:48
  And
• 5:48
  this
• 5:49
  thing
• 5:49
  was,
• 5:49
  you
• 5:49
  know,
• 5:50
  it's
• 5:50
  gone
• 5:50
  by
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  name
• 5:50
  of
• 5:51
  Super
• 5:51
  Pinky
• 5:51
  Super
• 5:52
  Ball.
• 5:53
  And
• 5:54
  kids
• 5:54
  loved
• 5:55
  it.
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  had
• 5:55
  one
• 5:55
  when
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  was
• 5:55
  a
• 5:56
  kid.
• 5:56
  It
• 5:56
  was
• 5:56
  fantastic.
• 5:57
  You
• 5:57
  could
• 5:58
  sit
• 5:58
  there
• 5:58
  and
• 5:58
  bounce
• 5:58
  it
• 5:59
  on
• 5:59
  the.
• 5:59
  Even
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  grass.
• 6:00
  And
• 6:00
  this
• 6:00
  Thing
• 6:00
  would
• 6:00
  fly
• 6:01
  up
• 6:01
  in
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  air
• 6:01
  higher
• 6:02
  than
• 6:02
  you
• 6:02
  could.
• 6:03
  You
• 6:03
  could
• 6:03
  throw
• 6:03
  it
• 6:03
  sometimes.
• 6:04
  It's
• 6:04
  really
• 6:05
  a
• 6:05
  lot
• 6:05
  of
• 6:05
  fun
• 6:05
  because
• 6:05
  it
• 6:05
  really
• 6:06
  had
• 6:06
  a
• 6:06
  lot
• 6:06
  of
• 6:06
  bounce
• 6:06
  to
• 6:07
  it.
• 6:07
  Well,
• 6:07
  the
• 6:08
  name
• 6:08
  had
• 6:08
  a
• 6:08
  lot
• 6:08
  of
• 6:08
  bounce
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  it,
• 6:09
  too.
• 6:09
  And
• 6:10
  Lamar
• 6:10
  Hunt,
• 6:11
  after
• 6:11
  watching
• 6:12
  his
• 6:12
  children
• 6:13
  play
• 6:13
  with
• 6:13
  it,
• 6:13
  including
• 6:14
  Lamar
• 6:15
  Hunt
• 6:15
  Jr.
• 6:17
  In
• 6:17
  his
• 6:17
  daughter,
• 6:18
  they
• 6:18
  were
• 6:19
  playing
• 6:19
  with
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  ball
• 6:19
  and
• 6:20
  just
• 6:20
  had
• 6:21
  blast
• 6:21
  with
• 6:21
  it
• 6:21
  and
• 6:21
  loved
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  name
• 6:22
  and
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  bouncing
• 6:23
  bounciness
• 6:23
  of
• 6:24
  it.
• 6:24
  He
• 6:24
  said,
• 6:24
  man,
• 6:25
  Super
• 6:25
  Ball.
• 6:25
  How
• 6:26
  about
• 6:26
  Super
• 6:26
  Bowl?
• 6:27
  You
• 6:27
  have
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  Rose
• 6:27
  bowl,
• 6:28
  you
• 6:28
  have
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  Orange
• 6:28
  bowl,
• 6:28
  you
• 6:28
  have
• 6:28
  a
• 6:29
  Sugar
• 6:29
  Bowl.
• 6:30
  Super
• 6:30
  Bowl.
• 6:31
  That's
• 6:31
  what
• 6:31
  we
• 6:31
  need
• 6:32
  for
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  National
• 6:32
  Football
• 6:33
  League
• 6:33
  to.
• 6:33
  As
• 6:34
  a.
• 6:34
  You
• 6:34
  know,
• 6:34
  because
• 6:34
  remember,
• 6:35
  college
• 6:35
  football
• 6:36
  was
• 6:36
  still
• 6:36
  almost
• 6:37
  on
• 6:37
  a
• 6:37
  parallel
• 6:38
  with
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  National
• 6:38
  Football
• 6:39
  League,
• 6:39
  maybe
• 6:39
  even
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  National
• 6:40
  Football
• 6:40
  League
• 6:41
  was
• 6:41
  still
• 6:41
  a
• 6:41
  little
• 6:41
  bit
• 6:41
  behind
• 6:42
  them.
• 6:42
  They're
• 6:43
  starting
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  gain
• 6:43
  some
• 6:44
  traction,
• 6:44
  but
• 6:45
  they
• 6:45
  needed
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  get
• 6:45
  this
• 6:46
  name
• 6:46
  to
• 6:46
  be
• 6:47
  right.
• 6:47
  And
• 6:47
  that
• 6:48
  just
• 6:48
  rolled
• 6:48
  off
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  lips.
• 6:49
  And
• 6:49
  he
• 6:50
  presented
• 6:50
  that
• 6:50
  at
• 6:51
  these
• 6:51
  July
• 6:51
  meetings,
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  Roselle
• 6:53
  sort
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  shot
• 6:53
  it
• 6:54
  down.
• 6:54
  And
• 6:54
  nobody
• 6:54
  really
• 6:55
  bought
• 6:55
  into
• 6:56
  it
• 6:56
  except
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  media.
• 6:58
  Now,
• 6:58
  we've
• 6:59
  heard
• 6:59
  stories
• 6:59
  before
• 6:59
  that
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  super

  came
• 7:01
  after

  Bowl
• 7:02
  1.
• 7:02
  They
• 7:03
  called

  the

  first
• 7:03
  one
• 7:03
  the

  or
• 7:06
  whatever
• 7:06
  they
• 7:06
  called

  it,
• 7:07
  and
• 7:07
  super
• 7:07
  bowl
• 7:08
  came
• 7:08
  long
• 7:08
  after
• 7:08
  it.
• 7:09
  Well,
• 7:09
  no,
• 7:09
  in
• 7:10
  fact,
• 7:10
  newspaper
• 7:11
  reports,
• 7:11
  even
• 7:12
  the
• 7:12
  day
• 7:12
  before
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  game
• 7:14
  on
• 7:14
  January
• 7:15
  15,
• 7:15
  1967,
• 7:16
  was
• 7:16
  played.
• 7:16
  The
• 7:17
  media
• 7:17
  was
• 7:17
  calling
• 7:18
  this
• 7:18
  game
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  Super
• 7:19
  Bowl.
• 7:19
  They
• 7:20
  called
• 7:20
  it
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  day
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  the
• 7:21
  game,
• 7:21
  Super
• 7:21
  Bowl.
• 7:21
  The
• 7:21
  day
• 7:22
  after
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  game,
• 7:22
  Super
• 7:23
  Bowl.
• 7:23
  Super
• 7:24
  bowl
• 7:24
  had
• 7:24
  been
• 7:24
  around
• 7:25
  before
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  first
• 7:27
  event
• 7:27
  had
• 7:28
  even
• 7:28
  been
• 7:28
  played
• 7:29
  for
• 7:29
  Super
• 7:30
  Bowl
• 7:30
  1.
• 7:30
  And
• 7:31
  it
• 7:31
  caught
• 7:31
  on
• 7:31
  with
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  media
• 7:32
  and
• 7:32
  eventually
• 7:32
  the
• 7:33
  other
• 7:33
  owners,
• 7:33
  and
• 7:34
  eventually
• 7:35
  Roselle
• 7:35
  caved
• 7:35
  in
• 7:36
  and
• 7:36
  said,
• 7:36
  okay,
• 7:36
  let's
• 7:36
  call
• 7:37
  it
• 7:37
  Super
• 7:37
  Bowl.
• 7:37
  And
• 7:38
  that's
• 7:38
  how
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  name
• 7:39
  stuck
• 7:39
  all
• 7:39
  these
• 7:40
  years.
• 7:40
  Some
• 7:41
  60
• 7:41
  some
• 7:42
  years
• 7:42
  later,
• 7:42
  we
• 7:43
  still
• 7:43
  have
• 7:43
  this
• 7:43
  game
• 7:44
  that
• 7:44
  we
• 7:44
  revere
• 7:45
  and
• 7:46
  almost
• 7:46
  a
• 7:46
  national
• 7:47
  holiday
• 7:47
  on
• 7:47
  Super
• 7:48
  Bowl
• 7:48
  Sunday.
• 7:48
  And
• 7:49
  it
• 7:49
  still
• 7:49
  rings
• 7:50
  off
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  lips
• 7:50
  very
• 7:51
  easily
• 7:51
  and
• 7:52
  very
• 7:52
  recognizable.
• 7:53
  People
• 7:53
  know
• 7:53
  what
• 7:53
  you're
• 7:53
  talking
• 7:53
  about
• 7:54
  when
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  say
• 7:54
  Super
• 7:54
  Bowl.
• 7:55
  There's
• 7:55
  no.
• 7:56
  No
• 7:56
  another.
• 7:56
  Except
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  annual
• 7:58
  event
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  happens
• 7:58
  every

  January,
• 8:00
  early

  know,
• 8:02
  now
• 8:02
  the
• 8:03
  Super
• 8:03

• 8:03
  So
• 8:04
  that's
• 8:04
  how
• 8:04
  it
