Northern California is playing host to the most spectacular sports party on the face of the planet over the next week.
Many who will be caught up in the festivities have no institutional memory that there was a Super Bowl I before there was a Super Bowl L.
Some were lucky enough to see Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Dwight Clark, Roger Craig, Bubba Paris, Wendell Tyler and friends including John Candy take apart Dan Marino and his Miami Aquatic Mammals 38-16 at old Stanford Stadium during Super Bowl XIX.
It has been said that unless you can see the end at the beginning, you are not going to get off to a very good start.
