Dulcinea's Insight

Although Super Bowl XLII is being played in 2008, it is considered the 2007 Super Bowl. The same convention applies to all previous Super Bowls.

The first two Super Bowls were called the "AFL-NFL World Championship Game." The first game to be called the "Super Bowl" was Super Bowl III, when Joe Namath and the New York Jets pulled a stunning upset of the Baltimore Colts.
