After the Super Bowl, Gelf revisits some memorable and overlooked storylines, including the parade metaphors that Giuliani would have liked, a stupid hoax about a stupid question, the strange stadium name, and more.
With two weeks of build-up and at least one week of follow-up coverage, the Super Bowl is the most discussed single-day event every year. Now that the media storm has settled (because no one cares about the Pro Bowl), Gelf is rounding up some of the stories and angles from Super Bowl month that caught our attention.
entertaining, good read
Thanks for clearing up the Doug Williams fiasco. There were so many versions out there, I was beginning to wonder exactly how many times and in how many ways I supposedly asked the 'black quarterback' question. It's November 2011 as I write this, and as best I can remember only one Super Bowl has passed without someone calling to ask about the question. Sure would be nice, just once, if someone apologized.
