The Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers for their 13th N.F.L. championship to win the Vince Lombardi trophy.
We have seen the creative/excessive Super Bowl commercials.
The Black Eyed Peas were the centerpiece of the halftime spectacle, without a breast being bared.
Yes, the nation's wonderfully wacky Super Bowl Sunday party is over.
BUT, football fans, do not despair.
There is another Super Bowl to be played within 24 hours. This lesser known championship game will be played on February 7, 2011, the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday.
This cyberspace epic will be played in Rio de Janeiro in the Maracanã Soccer Stadium and pit the mighty Vatican team against the upstart Survivor/Advocate All-Stars in Clergy Sex Abuse Super Bowl I.
The Voice from the Desert International Sports Information Network (ISPIN) is pleased to announce the starting lineup for the Survivor/Advocate All-Stars in this battle.
Voice from the Desert will publish the starting lineup for the Vatican in a separate post.
