Episode 2 Season 1 – The Super Bowl

By Andrea Menzies Episode 2 Season 1 – The Super Bowl Every week the FH7publishing.com book club recomends a good book on a subject. This week’s book has the full title “The Super Bowl: Football’s Game of the Year” by Matt Scheff part of The Big Game Lerner Sports. It is available for $8.31 on Amazon as a kindle book and is worth the money. Every year at the end of the football season the top teams in the NFL battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. It has amazing half time shows and hilarious TV commercials. This book has amazing football trivia. It includes the chapters Comeback Magic, Facts at a Glance, The Big Game, Greatest Moments, Clutch Performers, and Super Bowl Culture. My favorate trivia point was the quote: “In 2013, the lights went out at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the Super Bowl. It took 34 minutes to get them back on.” It even has a photo of Barack Obama watching the Super Bowl with 3D glasses on in 2009. This podcast is recorded in February 9, 2025 yet in another year the Superbowl happened at the New Orleans Superdome in 2013, but with a far more troubled set-up. My mom and daughter had a Super Bowl party at my mom’s house that I went to watch. “I’ve been there! I’ve been there!” I said about one million time as I watched the Super Bowl and pre-game shows set in New Orleans. My University degree I use for teaching is from Loyola University New Orleans, and I lived just a few miles away from the Superdome, and French Quarter in my own apartment for many years. I used to bike around the areas they showed on TV every week for student meet-ups. My Uncle Patrick Brockett was a University Professor at Tulane University, and I got discounts to go to school in that area. It was very fun to see a reminder of old times past. It was also good to see the area bounce back after the tragic bombing that happened there earlier this year. New Orleans is a town that is symbolic of creativity and individuality since before there was a United States of America, and so it is often a target to controlling and repressed American people. I give the book 5 out of 5 stars as it is a fun and colorful read. Tune in next week for more book reviews and recommendations.
