To some players, playoff and Super Bowl bonus money reaches significant proportions. As a practice-squad player with the San Francisco 49ers this season, rookie wide receiver Jimmy Farris made $4,000 a week for 17 weeks ($68,000). But then he signed on with New England for the postseason run, where he'll make a total of $57,250 if the Patriots win on Sunday.

Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League ( NFL ) in professional American football. It is played in the United States. On January 15, 1967, the first game was played as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. It was the game played between NFL championship team and the American Football League (AFL) for the "World Championship of Professional Football". In 1970, both leagues were merged and the Super Bowl became the NFL's championship game. Since then, the game has been played annually on a Sunday following the playoffs. Originally it was played early to mid-January, then late January, and in 2002, the first Sunday in February.

During the week leading up to the Super Bowl, companies and organizations issue some very important news releases that often are ignored. For example, the people at the California Avocado Commission (CAC) would like you to know that 26 million avocados will be consumed in the form of guacamole on Super Bowl Sunday. This, the commission says, is enough to cover the Louisiana Superdome field in a three-foot deep layer of dip.
