More newspapers are covering the story raised by our January 31 post about the NFL forbidding Super Bowl parties and promotions. Notwithstanding the NFL threats, my heavily-blogger-attended annual Super Bowl party is still going forward, complete with the title "Super Bowl" on the Evite. (Stephanie Simon, "No sanctuary for Super Bowl flock", LA Times, Feb. 3 (churches); Liz Benston, "Casinos not best seat in house for big game", Las Vegas Sun, Feb. 2 (casinos)). (OT personal note: the latter story quotes my friend "Steve Fezzik", who I knew when he was just an actuary with a real name, and who almost convinced me to leave the law in 2001 to team up with him as a professional gambler.)

The NFL needs to lighten up on the "Super Bowl" trademark. I think everyone using the name just boosts the hype.
I will not watch the super bowl. Too much hype and I don't care who wins. I will never watch another one because of the NFL threat to churches; however, the churches should not be showing them anyway whether big screen or 5 inch screen.
I missed the church thing, Ray, but what's wrong with a bunch of like-minded folks getting together for a party at their club house, watching the game, and having some fellowship under the guise of their collective interests?
