They’ll all take a deep breath and look forward to some rest after an exhaustive 22-week season that saw its share of highs and lows concludes Sunday night in New Orleans.

Nice article about the Super Bowl....but the photo could have been current, or at the very least, showing a football game or two on the screens - instead of baseball!.
