Freezing away here in Rochester, NY getting ready for a full week's worth of coverage from New Orleans beginning January 27th.  This will be my 15th Super Bowl.  The game has grown exponentially just in the last decade as the last three Super Bowls have set viewership records.  If the Patriots advance, it would mark their 8th Super Bowl appearance, tieing them with the Steelers and Cowboys for most, ever.  A Ravens-49ers matchup would feature a showdown of the Harbaugh brothers.  So many storylines heading into Championship Sunday.  Each day that I'm on the ground in The Big Easy, I will chronicle my adventures covering the events there.  We will hilite unique angles to the game, unearth untold stories---that you can only find here.  Stay tuned.

Lombardi Trophy Facts

The Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy was first named to honor the former Green Bay Packers Coach/General Manager in 1971, when the game was still known as the AFL-NFL World Championship. It is considered to be the National Football League's most prestigious award. Traditionally, the NFL Commissioner presents the Trophy to the owner of the winning team on Super Bowl Sunday at a field ceremony in their honor.

Handcrafted by Tiffany & Co. and valued at $12,500, the Vince Lombardi Trophy depicts a football in kicking position that is made entirely of sterling silver. The words "Vince Lombardi Trophy" and the NFL official logo are engraved on the base of the award. The trophy itself stands 22 inches tall, weighs seven pounds and takes 72 man-hours to create.
