Super Bowl XLV

Our neighbor to the north will host the 45th version of the biggest spectacle in American sports next week.  It may be close to impossible for Dallas to top Houston's memorable Super Bowl of 2004, but they can try. Read these books before kickoff and show what you know at the get-together next Sunday:

• The Billion Dollar Game : Behind the Scenes of the Greatest Day in American Sport, Super Bowl Sunday by Allen St. John.
• The Super Bowl of Advertising : How the Commercials Won the Game by Bernice Kanner.
• The Making of the Super Bowl : The Inside Story of the World's Greatest Sporting Event by Don Weiss with Chuck Day.
