Arrogant bowl
The National Football League, where the minimum salary even for a third string bench warmer is approximately $300,000 a year, and many of the super stars make in excess of $20 million a year along with outrageously generous signing bonuses.
The 2013 Super Bowl rivals two brothers against each other, blood brothers that is. Jim Harbaugh the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and John Harbaugh, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. This Super Bowl is being christened as the Bro-bowl and Harbaugh bowl.
The only thing certain about the upcoming Super Bowl is that Jack and Jackie Harbaugh, the parents of John and Jim will be able to say, “Our son’s team won the Super Bowl!”
TV commercials will cost 3.8 million dollars for a 30-second spot.
The cheapest ticket available on the ticket resale Web site Stub-Hub is being sold for $2,119. The most expensive ticket on the site is a suite that is being valued at over $315,000, while the highest-priced individual seat is going for $53,333.69, not really affordable for the average family of four.
Every member of the losing team will receive $42,000 and every member of the winning team will receive $88,000 in addition to their contracts, along with a Super Bowl Gold and Diamond ring worth around $50,000, even more when hocked on eBay. There are 150 rings made for the winning team.
The irony of this game is no other country besides the United States partakes in it, yet it is billed as a world championship? I am hoping in the future it will truly be a world’s championship with Kenya, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Germany and many other countries involved.
Until such time as the Super Bowl is truly a world championship, or better yet a universe championship, I remain in favor and like the idea of the Bro-bowl even after the Harbaugh’s have had their day on the football field.
In fact, why not just call it the Arrogant bowl for young American millionaire men?
Go Niners!
