Super Bowl XLV

Submitted by Sara West [1] on Mon, 01/31/2011 - 4:21pm

Our neighbor to the north [2] 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 [3], but they can try. Read these books before kickoff and show what you know at the get-together next Sunday:
