It is, undoubtedly, every football player's dream to reach and/or to play in the NFL Super Bowl. The National Football League is the largest professional American football league, which has 32 teams from America. The NFL Super Bowl is considered as the pinnacle of the professional football league. The NFL Super Bowl, in brief, is the championship game of the National Football League (NFL) in the United States that is played by the teams from the American Football Conference, as well as the teams from the National Football Conference.
The NFL Super Bowl has a rich history. The great story of theNFL Super Bowl started when the American Football League (AFL) merged with the National Football League (NFL). By the year of 1966, as part of the merger agreement, the NFL-AFL World Championship was established. Lamar Hunt, who was the owner of the Kansas City Chief thought of the name, Super Bowl, for the Championship game, upon seeing his daughter playing with her toy, the Super Ball. In 1967, the first championship was played, and the fans as well as the media accepted the unofficial name, Super Bowl, more readily than the longer name, AFL-NFL Championship Game. Eventually, in the year 1969, the name Super Bowl became the official name of the championship game. By 1970, however, the National Football League and the American Football League merged into one league, which consisted of two conferences; the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference—and this merger became better known today as the National Football League.
 In order to identify each game, the National Football League Super Bowl uses Roman numerals, rather than the year it was held. This was because the National Football League season extends over two calendar years, and the system of identification avoids confusion between theNFL Super Bowl games.
The winning team of each NFL Super Bowl receives the Vince Lombardi Trophy, after the great coach of the Green Bay Packers who successfully led his team to victory during each of the first two NFL Super Bowls. Following his death, the trophy was named in that way, prior to National Football League Super Bowl V, in his honor.
As for theNFL Super Bowl location, it is properly chosen by the National Football League in advance. The NFL usually decides on the venue three to five years before theNFL Super Bowl game. Moreover, the cities compete to host the game in a selection bidding process. Through the years, theNFL Super Bowl also offers music entertainment performed by popular singers and musicians, usually during its pre-game ceremonies, the halftime show, and even during the presentation of the National Anthem. These performers include Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Aretha Franklin, Aaron Neville, and even the Rolling Stones.
For the preparation of the NFL Super Bowl game, the chosen away team traditionally gets to call the coin toss to be able to determine which team will kickoff and which team will receive. The National Football League does not allow the team that wins the coin toss to defer their choice to the second half as is the case in high school and college football, and the game is not, by design, played in the type of extreme conditions that would grant an advantage to choosing a side of the field to defend. That is why, in the 41-year history of the NFL Super Bowl, every team that has won the coin toss has elected to receive the opening kickoff. The National Football Conference has won the coin toss twenty seven times, compared to fourteen times for the American Football Conference. Moreover, there is little correlation between winning the toss and winning the NFL Super Bowl. In fact, the team winning the toss has lost the game for the last four years, and 9 times in the last 11 years.
The teams of the National Football League are driven with great determination and enthusiasm that they will successfully reach the NFL Super Bowl. Furthermore, the following is the list of excellent teams who have won the NFL Super Bowl:

The location of the Super Bowl is selected way in advance, typically 3-5 years before the game. The selected venues have either been located in the southern regions of the US where the wintertime weather is likely to be mild, or in domed stadiums where weather is not a subject. No NFL team has yet played the Super Bowl on its own home lawn. However, Super Bowl XIV (which involved then Los Angeles Rams) was played in the Rose Bowl in near Pasadena; and Super Bowl XIX (which involved the San Francisco 49ers) was played at the Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto. The chosen "home team" alternates between the NFC team in odd-numbered years (the Philadelphia Eagles in 2005), and the AFC team in even numbered years (the New England Patriots in 2004). The home team is given the option of either wearing their painted jerseys or their white ones; this began with Super Bowl XIII. Former to that, the home team at all times wore the dark jerseys. The Dallas Cowboys wore their hardly ever used blue uniform tops in Super Bowl V, and lost to then Baltimore Colts, which has led to the belief that many people believe that the Cowboys do not play good enough in their blue shirts. While most home teams in the Super Bowl choose to wear their colored ones, only the Cowboys in XIII and XXVII and the Washington Redskins in XVII have worn white as the home team.
The television network showing the Super Bowl game changes from year to year. In the US, it is joint between three of the four major television networks - ABC, CBS and FOX. Super Bowl XXXVIII, for example, was broadcasted on CBS, Super Bowl XXXIX aired on FOX and Super Bowl XL will be shown on ABC. With the new television contracts starting in 2009, NBC, which last broadcast Super Bowl XXXII in 1998, will take ABC's place in the network rotation beginning with Super Bowl XLIII in 2009.
When the AFL and NFL decided that they would combine into a single league in 1971, they also agreed to start playing a championship game after the 1966 season. Officially called the AFL-NFL Championship, it was soon nicknamed the Super Bowl. The first Super Bowl, though, between the NFL's Green Bay Packers and the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs, wasn't so excitedly anticipated. The main question seemed to be how large Green Bay's margin of victory would be. NFL Super Bowl Tickets cost only $12, and the game still wasn't a sellout at that time. The Packers won the game 35 to 10. They also won Super Bowl II 33-14 over the Oakland Raiders. It wasn't until Joe Namath guaranteed victory for the AFL's underdog New York Jets in Super Bowl III and then delivered a 16-7 win over the Baltimore Colts that interest rose, particularly with the impending joining of the two leagues.
