"The Big Game"

Apparently there's some kind of football game this weekend that's something of a big deal. All over the radio and TV I hear commercials referencing "The Big Game."

When I was younger I followed college and pro sports very closely and this is what I remember being referred to as The Big Game. But the college football season is over so that can't be it.

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what they're talking about. I seem to recall a game that occurred at roughly this time of year (actually a couple weeks earlier) that was called the "Super Bowl". It was a pretty big deal.

But I no longer see or read or hear anyone advertising Super Bowl Parties or Super Bowl Sales or Super Bowl Specials. It's all about The Big Game, whatever that is. So the Super Bowl can't be the game they're referring to because, well, why not just say "Super Bowl"? At least that way everyone would know what they mean.

So Sunday afternoon I'll be trying to find this Big Game that all of these businesses are talking about in their ads. If anyone can help me out with this, I'd sorely appreciate it.

By the way, if Indianapolis wins and the total points are over 59 I win our company pool. Go Colts!
