The football game that will be played a week from Sunday in Minneapolis – where, if there is divine justice, every owner of every NFL team will suffer frostbite on all applicable limbs and appendages for approving this Nordic nonsense – isn’t just the culmination and highlight of the NFL season.
In a very real way, it is the Media Super Bowl as well. Working the most popular, most highly rated, most important sporting event in the United States represents something of an accomplishment, too, even if the attendance qualifications are woefully less strict than those for the teams.
