We're just hours away from kickoff for the last meaningful football game that any of us will be seeing for the next seven months. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's Super Bowl XLIX (which is 49 for you non-Romans) live from University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. We will be witnessing the New England Patriots battling the Seattle Seahawks to see who will be bringing home this year's biggest prize.
Do you want to know how you can follow along with all of the action in this one? Well, let us give you all the information.
Television Info
This year's Super Bowl will be broadcast by the folks from NBC, with kickoff scheduled for approximately 5:30 PM Central time. . .though I'm sure that we're already in about our eighth hour of pre-game coverage. An NBC game means that the game will be called by Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth.
Our Canadian friends will be able to see this one on CTV and NBC. Thanks to the folks from A Rouge Point for providing Canadian broadcast info to us this season.
