In those days, teams ran the ball more, but Packers quarter- back Bart Starr was MVP with 250 yards passing and two TDs. To ensure maxi- mum viewership, the game was broad- cast on both CBS and NBC. Starr and the Packers returned to defeat the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II. The game was held in Miami’s Orange Bowl, the stadium which would go on to host three of the first five Super Bowls. SB III was the first one that really excit- ed the fans. It seemed obvious that the NFL had superiority over the AFL, but the younger league spoke up through the voice of Jets QB Joe Namath, who guaranteed victory over the Baltimore Colts. He delivered the win and became a sports legend overnight. In 1970, the game was played in New Orleans for the first time, at Tulane Sta- dium. (This was before the Superdome was built.)

In 1997, Green Bay got to the big game for •the first time since theNFL-AFLmerger.The Packers beat the Patriots as the Su-perBowlmadeitsfirstappearanceontheFox TV network. The Broncos surprised the favored Packers a year later in SB XXXII, winning for the first time. Denverwon again the following year over the At-lanta Falcons.Two relocated teams matched up in 1999, •as the St. Louis Rams beat the Tennes-see Titans (who came up just a yard short of tying the game on the very last play). Another moved franchise, the Baltimore Ravens, beat the Giants in 2000 to win in itsfirstSuperBowl.Since then, you probably know the story. •The New England Patriots have appeared in four of the last seven Super Bowls, win-ning three of them. The Steelers, Giants, and Colts returned to win Super Bowls too. Alsovictoriouswasonefirst-timeentrant,the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who took SB XXXVII in 2002. The Eagles, Bears, Raid-ers and Rams lost in that stretch, as did the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers. Who will win this year’s game in Tampa? You’llfindoutwhenSBXLIIIkicksoffonFebruary 1!

THE SUPER BOWL (continued)Super Bowls V, VI and VII were all about •“righting the ship” for teams that had previ-ously lost the big game. In Super Bowl V, the Colts – previously shocked by Nama-th’s Jets – handed the Dallas Cowboys a 16-13 loss. (Dallas linebacker Chuck How-leywontheMVPaward,thefirstforanon-QBaswellasthefirstforaplayeronalos-ing team.) In Super Bowl VI, the Cowboys returned to defeat the Miami Dolphins.Miami then repeated Dallas’ turnaround, •but did them one better. After coming up short in SB VI, the Dolphins dominated in 1972, going undefeated. They topped the Washington Redskins in SB VII, which was (at the time) the fourth-most-watched TV show in U.S. history. SB VIII was held at Rice Stadium in Texas for the firsttime. In the game, Miami beat the Vi-kings, joining the Packers as the only teams with back-to-back wins.The Pittsburgh •Steelers took care of Minnesota in SB IX. The Steelers again emerged victorious in 1976, beating the Cowboys in SB X. A year later, SB XI placed the team that lost SB II (the Raid-ers) against a team that had lost three Su-per Bowls already (the Vikings). Oakland madeMinnesotathefirstteamtolosefourSuper Bowl games.The Cowboys, the only team other than •the Vikings to lose multiple Super Bowls, won their second in 1978 against the Den-ver Broncos (who would go on to lose their firstfourSuperBowls,justliketheVikings).For the first time, co-MVP awards weregiven, as the heart of Dallas’ defense – Harvey Martin and Randy White – shared the honor.The Steelers won back-to-back Super •Bowls once again by defeating Dallas in SB XIII and the Los Angeles Rams in SB XVI. Pittsburgh QB Terry Bradshaw matched Bart Starr by winning the MVP award for both games. In 1981, the Oak-land Raiders handily beat the Philadelphia Eagles in SB XV.The 1982 game was the first held in a•coldweather location. Luckily, Michigan’s Pontiac Silverdome was well insulated. SB XVI also brought two new teams into the game for the first time in a decade.The

San Francisco 49ers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 26-21. Dan Ross caught 11 pass-es, a record since tied but not bettered.Miami lost to Washington in 1983 to even •its Super Bowl record at 2-2. The Redskins failed to repeat, however, and lost SB XVIII to the (then-Los Angeles) Raiders. The trophy then hopped across the Bay as the 49ers topped Miami to win SB XIX.Two ‘new’ Super Bowl teams faced off in •1986. The Chicago Bears rode their “Su-perBowlShuffle”toadecisive46-10vic-tory over the New England Patriots. At the time, this was both the most points scored and the largest victory margin for the win-ning team.Denver returned to play in SB XXI, but fell •to the N.Y. Giants despite a record 204 rushing yards from rookie Timmy Smith. Although the Broncos made it back to the big game the following season, Denver became the second team to lose back-to-back Super Bowls when the Redskins took SB XXII.SB XXIII was a rematch of the 1982 game, •and the 49ers beat the Bengals again. MVP Jerry Rice set a still-intact record with 215 receiving yards. San Francisco repeated against the Broncos in 1990; it was the 49ers’ fourth win, and Denver’s fourth loss.The early 1990s belonged to the Buffalo •Bills, who reached four consecutive Super Bowls beginning in 1991. Unfortunately, the team lost the game each time. The Gi-ants won SB XXV while the Redskins took SB XXVI. The Cowboys topped the Bills inboth1993and1994, thefirst time thesame two teams played consecutive Su-per Bowls. The 49ers played in the Super Bowl for an •unprecedentedfifthtimein1995,beatingthe San Diego Chargers. SB XXX gave the Cowboys an opportunity to avenge two previous losses to Pittsburgh. Dallas won for the third time in four seasons and set a record by appearing in their eighth Super Bowl.

PICK OF THE WEEK“RocknRolla” -- Director Guy Ritchie returns to form with this high-octane British gangster romp. Starring Gerard (SPARTAAA!!!) Butler as a two-bit mook named One-Two who gets involved in a caper involving a Russian painting, a shady accountant (Thandie Newton), competing factions of the underground, a rock star and a dizzying array of interlocking story lines and plot twists. Fans of “Snatch” and “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” will definitelywant in on this caper.

ALSO “The Secret Policeman’s Balls” -- For those who grew up in the ‘80s, “The Secret Policeman’s Balls” are legendary. These annual comedy and music shows raised millions for Amnesty International and showcased the cream of British comedy and some awesome musical performances. In this three-disccollectionarefiveof themost famous balls, featuring performances by Monty Python, Billy Connolly, Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean/Blackadder), Hugh Laurie (“House, M.D.”), Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and others. Some of the musical acts featured are a Who’s Who of ‘80s music: PeterGabriel,BobGeldof,MarkKnopfler,Sting and Phil Collins, to name just a few. “42nd Street Forever” Vol. 4 -- The “42nd Street Forever” series is one of my guilty pleasures. They’re compilations of movie trailers from schlocky, grindhouse films ofthe 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s. From gore to bad sci-fi to blacksploitation and sex romps,everykindof low-budget,horriblefilmyoucan imagine is shown -- well, their trailers at least. And frankly, the trailers are, more often thannot,betterthanthefilmsthemselves.

FAMILY“Mary Poppins: 45th Anniversary Special Edition” -- If you already own a version of Mary Poppins, there really isn’t anything “special” about this two-disc Disney release. It’s mostly being used as a promotional tool for the Broadway musical. But if you don’t have a copy of this Julie Andrews classic, then by all means snatch it up -- if only for Dick Van Dyke’s legendary horrible Cockney accent. Besides, Disney has a nasty habit of releasinghomevideosof itsfilms foralimited time and then pulling them off the shelves for years, so you never know when you’ll see it again.

1. PEYTON & ELI2. 2016

Two friends paid $1,500 each forSuper Bowl tickets. When they

arrived at the game, they noticed anempty seat next to them, with an older

woman sitting on the other side.

A few minutes into the game, one ofthe men asked the lady if she knewwhy the seat was empty. “We paid$3,000 four ours,” he continued.

“It was my husband’s,” she replied.“He died recently, so I decided to cometo the game by myself to honor him.”

“Uh-huh,” said the man, “But couldn’tyou have given the ticket to a friend

or maybe a family member?”

“I offered it to everyone I knew,” shereplied. “Really, I did. But they all

decided to go to the funeral instead.”

1. Name the two Manningbrothers who led theColts and Giants to SuperBowl wins in the 2000s.

2. In what year isSuper Bowl L (50)scheduled to beplayed?

Unscramble this word:

L U B E M FThis word means: to losepossession of a football

F U M B L E

Mike Lodish and Don Beebe sharea Super Bowl record. They’veeach been to the big game six

times. Unfortunately, both havebeen on the losing end more oftenthan not. Lodish came up on theshort end in his first four trips to

the Super Bowl before winning inhis final two with the Denver

Broncos. Beebe hasperformed even more

poorly, winning only once(as a member of the

Green Bay Packers) inhis six appearances.

“Men, I want you just thinking ofone word all season. One word and

one word only: Super Bowl.”

Mi Casa es Su CasaAlthough we’ve been enjoying warm weather so far this year, winter is normally cold, blustery, and not the ideal season for garage sales. So what do you do with your old living room set you just replaced? What do you do with your mother-in-law’s belongings left in her home after she moved in with you? Or perhaps you are getting married and consolidating two house-holds - - what are you going to do with all of your extra furniture, accessories, lamps, art work and other pieces?Traditionally we opt to hold a garage or yard sale. However, there is another option that not only is easier than sitting in your garage for two days, but may garner you a better price for your possessions. That option is Consignment.“A Good consignment shop will work with you to help show case your items,” says Caroline Stein, owner of Caroline’s Interior Consignment. “The shop should assist you in pricing your item, if asked, and will advertise for you.”Caroline is not only the owner of a fineconsignment shop, but she is also an interior decorator with an American International Rating; well skilled in Feng Shui, staging, and color coordination.

Interior Consignment.

We have standard pieces such as Broyhill, unique commissioned pieces and high-end brands such as Z Gallerie.”You’ll find more than just furniture atCaroline’s Interior Consignment.

Caroline can also assist you in bringing your furniture to her shop. She has a preferred provider to move your furniture either to her

shop or to b r i n g your new purchase home. S e l l i n g through a

consignment shop is a great decision because consignment shops are often frequented by individuals who are looking for a good bargain.

By Samantha WeaverHerpetologists can tell you that of all the •victims of rattlesnake bites, only about half of them actually hear the telltale rat-tle before being bitten.It was famed Elizabethan playwright Wil-•liam Shakespeare who made the follow-ing sage observation: “Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks atit when it has been in the house three days?”The “Guinness Book of World Records” •used to have a category for how many livegoldfishapersoncouldeatatonce,but it was eliminated. Interestingly, the reason for the elimination had nothing to do with cruelty to animals, but rather hadtodowiththedifficultyofpreventingcheating. It seems that some would-be competitors were breeding smaller and smallerfishforconsumption.The word “alimony” is derived from the •Latin word “alimonia,” which means “nourishment.”Those who study such things say that the •month in which you are most likely to be shot, strangled or poisoned is December. They don’t seem to venture an opinion regarding why, however.On average, British women are shorter •than women in the United States.Who among us isn’t familiar with the line, •“Quoth the Raven, nevermore”? As virtu-ally anyone who made it through middle-school English class can tell you, it’s from Edgar Allan Poe’s classic poem “The Ra-ven.” Considering the ubiquitous nature of the work, though, you might be sur-prised to learn that Poe earned a grand totalof$9fromthefirstpublicationofthepoem.The brain of an ostrich is actually smaller •than one of its eyes.

WEEKLY FUNNIESBack By Popular Demand (you

asked for them back - we listened)The LAPD, The FBI, and the CIA are all try-ing to prove that they are the best at appre-hending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it. The CIA goes in. They place animal infor-mants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they con-clude that rabbits do not exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming. The LAPD goes in. Two hours later they come out with a badly-beaten bear who’s yelling, “OK, OK! I’m a rabbit! I’m a rabbit!” Psychiatrist to his nurse: “Just say we’re very busy. Don’t keep saying ‘It’s a mad-house.’”A teacher asks her students if they’re Yan-kees fans. All of the hands go up except for one student. “Okay, Bobby. What team are you a fan of?” “The Red Sox.” “Why’s that?” “Well, my parents are both Red Sox fans, so I’m a Red Sox fan too.” “That’s not a good answer, Bobby. If your parents were both morons, would you be a moron too?” “No, that would make me a Yankees fan!” A little boy was overheard talking to him-self as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat: “I’m the greatest hitter in the world,” he announced. Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed. “Strike One!” he yelled. Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down he swung again and missed. “Strike Two!” he cried. The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. He straightened his cap and said once more, “I’m the great-est hitter in the world!” Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. He missed. “Strike Three!” “Wow!” he exclaimed. “I’m the greatest pitcher in the world.” It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in themiddleofabusy intersection.Trafficquickly piled up in all directions, so a woman rushed to help him. When she knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from the crowd, pushed her aside, and said, “It’s all right honey, I’ve hada course in first aid.”The woman stood up and watched as he

took the ill man’s pulse and prepared to ad-ministerartificialrespiration.Atthispointshetapped him on the shoulder and said, “When you get to the part about calling a doctor,I’m already here.” Money-making Mergers... Watch for these consolidations in the coming months, invest early, and make yourself a bundle. • Hale Business Systems, Mary KayCosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W.R. Grace Co. will merge and become Hale, Mary, Full-er, Grace.

Polygram Records, Warner Bros., and •Zesta Crackers will join forces and be-come Polly Warner Cracker. 3M will merge with Goodyear and become •MMMGood. Zippo Mfg., Audi Motor Car, Dofasco, and •Dakota Mining will merge to become Zi-pAudiDoDa. Federal Express is expected to join its ma-•jor competitor, UPS, and consolidate as FedUP Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Com-•puters will become Fairwell Honeychild. Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are ex-•pected to merge and become Poupon Pants. Knotts Berry Farm and the National Or-•ganization of Women will become Knott NOW!

A guy calls a law office and says, “I want to talk to my lawyer.” The receptionist replies, “I’m sorry, but he died last week.” The next day he phones again and asks the same question. The receptionist replies, “I told you yesterday, he died last week.” The next day the guy calls again and asks to speak to his lawyer. By this time the receptionist is get-ting a little annoyed and says, “I keep tell-ing you, your lawyer died last week. Why do you keep calling?” The guy says, “Because I just love hearing it.”
