NFL SuperBowl History

The National Football League, pro football, SuperBowl winners, commercials, and halftime shows

To the active generations of NFL football, sportsbooks, and sports betting and wagering fans, the SuperBowl equals the championship game, culmination of the playoffs, winning teams and MVPs, sports bets, odds, futures, and betting propositions, TV ads and commercials, pre-game performances and halftime shows. These are the constant, ever-present elements of NFL SuperBowl football popular culture. SuperBowl was the New England Patriots, SuperBowl was the San Francisco 49ers, SuperBowl was U2, SuperBowl was Janet Jackson.

NFL SuperBowl history spans a full century and give or take three decades now. Back in the day, not many of those things that are SuperBowl pop culture to NFL football, sportsbooks, and sports betting and wagering fans now, were true. College football players hesitated to get paid to play, and even as the National Football League started its college draft in 1936, not many of those drafted agreed to play at professional football. The slew of early SuperBowl ads and commercials, like Coke, Xerox, and Noxema ads in the 1970s, were thought to be better and are now considered as classics. It was marching bands, drill teams, dance troupes, and Up With People - who holds the record for most halftime performances - that graced the SuperBowl halftime shows.

Last year, SuperBowl 2004, has been a memorable one for NFL SuperBowl history, not so much because the New England Patriots won over the Carolina Panthers, but because Janet Jackson bared a sun-adorned boob at halftime. The 2004 SuperBowl halftime incident happened before a record 144.4 million US viewers and made an all-time Internet record for “most searched event over one day”. It made for far greater audience impact and conversation than, say, SuperBowl ads on erectile dysfunction, in an NFL season in which SuperBowl commercials sold for a whopping average of $2.3 million per 30-second spot.

As the big day of SuperBowl 2005 in Jacksonville draws near, NFL football, sportsbooks, and sports betting and wagering fans again wonder what about the championship event will make history. Pepsi and Budweiser will have SuperBowl commercials. The New England Patriots might play; the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Seattle Seahawks might play. Paul McCartney will be performing at halftime. MTV will not be producing. With questions remaining unanswered, let us look back at what's happened so far at NFL SuperBowl football history. Maybe the clues are there.

NFL Football History

The earliest game of American football took place in 1860. The first football game involving a pro football player was played in 1892. The name "National Football League" came to be in 1922, and the monicker "SuperBowl", in 1967. Those were very interesting times. Soccer and rugby were the games to watch, American football did not even have its own rules. The NFL drafted, a few came and conquered. The name of America's most watched single-day sporting event today was inspired by a little girl and her toy. Immerse in NFL football history and discover the struggles and triumphs that made the SuperBowl the power sport that it is today.
