I thought I heard that the NFL had a different Super Bowl logo planned, but scrapped it for this "patriotic" one after September 11th. Does anyone else know if that is true, or better yet, know what the other logo was? --Feitclub 17:54, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
Ha, that is very weird. I actually edited the article to include that tidbit, and THEN I looked at this discussion page, and that was posted!
Yes, that is true. It is very hard to find a picture of the original logo online. I did manage to see it once, but it wasn't in color, it was on a collectible coin.
It was pretty lame anyway, it was much like the logo from the previous New Orleans Super Bowl.
Wow, who managed to find the logo and post it? I had scoured the entire net extensively for it once and all I manged to find was a small image of it on a collectible coin, like the other poster said.
Well, after seeing it in full color, I'm glad it was changed. Talk about garbage.

[edit] Halftime Show
Whoever keeps changing the setlist needs to watch the DVD. The middle song between "Beautiful Day" and "Where The Streets..." was NOT "Pride (In the Name of Love)!" It was "MLK," which is off the same album (Unforgettable Fire) as "In the Name...". That might be the reason for the confusion. —Lanway 23:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Final Play
Quoting the article:
Under "Game Summary"
- Vinatieri's game-winning kick sailed through the uprights as time expired, marking the first time in Super Bowl history that a game had been won by a score on the final play.
Under "Trivia"
- This game is one of three Super Bowls to be decided on the last play of the game, the other was Super Bowl V.
Sigh..... 3, 2 or 1? KriZe 16:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I believe the third one might be XXXVIII, but I'm not sure if "kicked the winning field goal with 4 seconds left" counts as the last play of the game. 66.192.83.65 21:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
You're correct. Super Bowls, V and XXXVI were decided on the last play of the game with last second field goals. The field goal for Super Bowl XXXVIII did indeed pass through the uprights with 4 seconds left, although in most people's memories, the kick was assumed to be the last play of the game. Interestingly enough, Adam Vinatieri's game-winning kick in Super Bowl XXXVI actually passed through the uprights with about 3-4 seconds left, but the NFL chose to let the clock expire after the kick. This wasn't disputed by any of the Rams' personnel because the likelihood of running back a kickoff was very low. I remember this very vividly because I was at that game; and I remember a very dramatic atmosphere that the NFL wanted to preserve by letting the kick be the last play of the game (it was the first Super Bowl held after the 9/11 attacks, and the NFL had changed the theme of the game from one of festivity to one of patriotism). However, they've obviously held to their stringent rules since then.
But I digress. There are technically only TWO Super Bowls that were decided on the last play of the game, though you could include XXXVIII knowing what I just told you, or one considering that there really were about 3-4 seconds left to play in XXXVI that the NFL chose to let expire. LOL, sorry if I confused anyone even further! Shabeki 04:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Catherine Bell Trivia
I corrected the trivia section on Catherine Bell's page on the 14th. Today I found an anonymous editor (83.20.196.131) had reverted my change and added the incorrect trivia here. I'd be happy to see the correct trivia here, but I used two references, and when I copied my correction from the Catherine Bell page to here, this old reference system kept them from showing up. If anyone wants to add the correct trivia (Catherine Bell predicted the winner and score, but after the teams playing had been announced), please so do. Enuja 00:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Who put this in?
Look what I found in the Trivia section...
"Alot of people speculate whether the game was fixed and the Patriots won due to the 9-11 attacks.[citation needed] There was still time on the clock when the kick went through at the end of the game (albeit not much, maybe a kick return and hail mary) yet everyone just hurried off the field no complaints. Patriots Owner Bob Kraft even exclaimed that night "Tonight we are all Patriots!" In a very Red, White and Blue filled post game celebrating. The Patriots winning 2 of the next three Super Bowls have quieted alot of the conspiracy theorists out there but some still remain."
What do we do about it? WAVY 10 15:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sort of reminds me of Wikipedia:Fringe theories. If there are no references, then feel free to revert it. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
