Sports Sports General Entertainment http://superbowlproparty.blogdrive.com/archive/8.html Tue, 06 Jun 2006 21:42:26 GMT The traditional Super Bowl Party is probably the least fussy, most unpretentious party you can host all year. So, there is no point in holding anything back! Go all out and serve everyone's favorite high fat, finger-licking snack foods. After all, your television set is the focal point, not the food. Or is it? Thinking about the traditional party food for this event- chips, sour cream or cheese dips (onion soup dip springs to mind), chili, salsa, Buffalo wings, cheese balls, pizza (the Domino's kind, thank you very much, not the goat cheese and smoked pheasant kind) - I wonder whether these...

There are going to be more than 63,000 seats available for the big football game played at Ford Field on Feb. 5, but the capacity will be much more limited at those celebrity-laden parties that will dot the Detroit landscape the week before Super Bowl XL. As a result, there has been a growing problem with counterfeit tickets. That's an interesting problem because, at many of the most prominent parties, there aren't any tickets. "There are no tickets at all," said Lewis Kay, the publicist for the Maxim party....

It was fun to see signs like "Next Stop Detroit" and "Detroit Hawk City," wasn't it? Although we have been hearing about this Super Bowl for years, it took on a certain tangible reality when the network announcers bellowed: "The Steelers are going to Detroit!" or Holmgren screamed the fans "are all coming to Detroit with us!" We've heard similar sentences before, with similar inflection, but it's usually: "They're going to New Orleans!" or "We're going to Miami!" Now it's Detroit. Nice. I know it's just a sentence, but a...

Don Mischer will produce for the second year in a row, having succeeded in taking our minds off Janet Jackson's 2004 wardrobe malfunction with last year's Paul McCartney extravaganza that concluded with a sing-along of ``Hey Jude.'' Mischer says he isn't really concerned about the Stones being overexposed these days in the midst of the often sold-out ``A Bigger Bang'' tour. ``I think the fans would love to have more of the Stones. But I think the great majority...

He played for the Steelers as an offensive lineman from 1978-1983 and then had two seasons with Tampa Bay. An admitted steroid user, he testified before the US Federal Government reform committee earlier this year on the dangers of steroid use. After retiring in 1985, Courson said steroids had caused him serious health problems, including a heart condition. Since his retirement, Courson had lectured in schools about the dangers of steroid abuse. In a statement, the Steelers...

With the game less than four months away, advertising options include the Detroit People Mover, highway billboards and teams of representatives who hand out product samples. More than 125,000 visitors are expected to visit the Detroit area for the Feb. 5 game and national and local marketers have been jockeying for top advertising space. Detroit Transit Corp. officials said advertisers seek to purchase space on the outside of the People Mover's monorail cars. The spaces typically cost $30,000. But for...

Jake Plummer was 17-of-24 for 262 yards and two touchdowns, Ashley Lelie added 81 yards receiving and Mike Anderson ran for 57 yards and a score for the Broncos (5-1), who won their fifth straight contest after a season-opening defeat to Miami. Patrick Pass had 89 yards receiving and ran for 64 yards and a score and Tom Brady was 24-of-46 for 299 yards and a...

Indianapolis Colts: They'll flex their defensive muscles tonight against St. Louis. It'll get ugly if Peyton Manning and the offense get in gear. 2. Denver Broncos: Balanced attack beat the defending champions. Looks like Denver's offense isn't so one-dimensional after all. 3. Cincinnati Bengals: Next week's game against the Steelers will decide if they're true AFC contenders. 4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chucky and company are making a living beating average and bad teams (see Lions). Currently, the road to the... (more) http://superbowlproparty.blogdrive.com/comments?id=1
