[edit] older comments

After another decade, we will reach a Super Bowl with-out a problem. See Talk:49 (number) for details. 66.32.104.57 15:47, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

Well, we'll let the NFL sort that out when the time comes. :) RADICALBENDER★ 16:08, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, but the "ongoing event" header doesn't seem to fit here. Wouldn't this be a "yet-to-happen" event? This comment is only meant for the 5 days that remained until the event when it was written, of course. Regards, Redux 20:50, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My removal

I removed

Although Get Back mentions marijuana and is thought to reference transvestism, there has—as yet—been no national uproar.

The tone seemed a little arch for an encyclopedia. The Janet Jackson thing was ridiculous, but the tone seemed inappropriate. Meelar (talk) 06:43, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

I love that sentence but I guess you're right that it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. Wish we could keep it. Rhobite 06:48, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] You might wanna clarify this...

The first sentence of the page reads as follows:

"Super Bowl XXXIX was the 39th championship game of the National Football League, the major professional league of American football in the United States."

As that sentence reads, it's not true. It is not the 39th championship game of the NFL, but it is the 39th meeting of the two major NFL leagues(1966-1970)/conferences (1970-today), the AFC (AFL, 1966-1970) and NFC (NFL, 1966-1970). The NFL had championship games for many years before the Superbowl changed the format (of the championship game).

Anyway, good job with the rest of the page. Take care and keep up the good work.

Thanks for noticing. That phrase is not in any other Super Bowl articles. (Zzyzx11 20:16, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC))

[edit] T.O.

Love him or hate him, I think this article should have at least a small tidbit about Terrell Owens' amazing comeback from injury to contribute to the Eagles. Fantusta 02:17, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

How did T.O. help the Eagles? Did they win?

A player can contribute to his team without the team winning.

[edit] Sevice Academies

I changed "West Point" to "U.S. Military Academy" as that is the proper name and it standarizes the names of the service academies in the article. I also changed the order of the academies to reflect the order of precedence of thier respective services. Movementarian 11:26, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Paul is Dead

"Ironically, 2004 was also the 35th anniversary of Russ Gibb announcing McCartney's supposed death."

I removed this for a few reasons. First, Super Bowl XXXIX happened in 2005, not 2004. Second, how is this "ironic" or even remotely related to the topic at hand? 2005 would be the 25th anniversary of McCartney's drug arrest in Japan, but that doesn't mean we include it here. Well, there is a very very small chance you might include it given the references in "Get Back". Danthemankhan^(talk) 02:33, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vrabel error

Mike Vrabel has never caught a pass that wasn't a touchdown. . . . I'll try to verify his stats (I believe it's two catches, two TDs during the regular season). Samer 02:17, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

How did T.O. help the Eagles? Did they win?

[edit] YOUR STATS ARE DEAD WRONG

[edit] Good Article Nomination

I nominated Super Bowl XXXIX, but withdrew my nomination after a user pointed out a few things about this article: insufficient sourcing of inline citations. If anyone can add citations to the article, it would help out. Jaxfl 20:21, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
