History Made at the Super Bowl

When we look at the two head coaches in this year’s Super Bowl, one... at once amazing, and now an historical, fact is clear. This is the first time in the history of the “Show” that a head coach named ‘Tony’ and a head coach named ‘Lovie’ have ever appeared in this football extravaganza.

Interestingly, prior to now there had been more Weebs than Tonys or Lovies to coach in this game. Weeb Ewbank, winning head coach in the 1969 Super Bowl later went on to host that hilarious, divorce-inducing show, The “Newlywed Game”.

Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith appreciate what significance this has for their namesakes. Presidential spokesman Tony Snow said, “The veil of the stigma against those who are referred to as Tony has finally been lifted and now the world can clearly see what we can accomplish through hard work, perseverance, and waiting around long enough.”

Aging temptress Lovie Kravzit would not comment on Lovie Smith, repeatedly saying, “I will not comment on Lovie Smith.”

Neither Smith nor Dungy overplayed the name-card. In fact after the game winning Coach Tony Dungy said, “Of course it is important for a Tony-American to achieve this goal, but it could not be achieved without the play of the Coons, Crackers, Wops, Spics, and the occasional conch-eating Samoan that are the heart of this wonderful sport.”

And so the NFL concludes another season, sort of… Colts 29, Bears 17. We still have the “Pro Bowl” to look forward to. Here we shall see bone crushing tackles, concussion producing helmet to helmet hits, and limb removing personal fouls.

But, best of all, there will be Tony and Lovie knowing that they have paved the way for future Tonys and Lovies to achieve greatness like they did.
