NFL to award Lombardi trophy after Sunday's big game


After hours of meetings in the NFL's New York headquarters the league officially decided to award Sunday's Colts-Patriots winner the championship trophy. "Basically we have declared this game the Super Bowl, and are treating the game accordingly," said NFL rep, Garry Gom. The league has added a halftime show and also considered a neutral location which Colts officials turned down. However, Colts officials did agree to give half of the RCA Dome's tickets to the Patriots for distribution to New England fans. For the first time ever a "regular" season game conducted a Media Day and will have end zones painted for each team's colors.
A final decision will come on Wednesday on whether the league will play the remaining regular season games and the playoffs. "We're more leaning toward not playing the games, but then someone will bring up a good point which makes us think we should play the games. It's just a real crazy time right now," said Gom
Notes: The half time show will star the Bacon Brothers. They will not be singing, but acting out several scenes from Kevin's large list of hit movies.
