2010 Super Bowl Kickoff? 2010 Super Bowl Start Time? 2010 Super Bowl Party Time?

Based on Google Searches, the Super Bowl Start Time is of National Urgency

Why can't we figure out the 2010 Super Bowl start time, the 2010 Super Bowl kickoff time, whatever, given the vast significance of the 2010 Super Bowl party time, nowadays a national institution? According to the official Super Bowl 2010 Hosting Committee, the 2010 Super Bowl start time in Miami for the showdown between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints is precisely 6:28 p.m. EST, which is precisely 10 minutes later than the 2009 Super Bowl in Tampa, which means the NFL has figured out how to get 10 more minutes worth of revenue.

Is football the focus at a Super Bowl party? There is cause to wonder. We hear in the workplace about this or that Super Bowl party, then we hear about various celebrities hosting this or that Super Bowl party. We even are informed of President Barack Obama's Super Bowl party. But then, a whole bunch of people don't even know when the Super Bowl starts. Here are some of the most frequent Google searches we can expect to see, based on the Google Trends site:

-- "what time does the super bowl start 2010"

-- "superbowl kick off time 2010"

-- "superbowl kickoff"

- "qxzylgoh9@? pre-Superbowl hangover"

Believe it or not, last year there actually was one of those e-how web pages devoted to this dilemma. The title was, "How to find out the 2009 superbowl kickoff time." In Step Two, this e-how web page told you how to find out the 2009 Super Bowl kickoff time. It revealed that the Super Bowl kickoff in Tampa was scheduled to occur at precisely 6:18 p.m. EST. While we'd like to thank e-how for the Super Bowl start time help, we would rather that e-how help us fix our leaky faucets.

But wait. This year, the Great 2010 Super Bowl Kickoff Controversy is underway via another self-help site, WikiAnswers.com. According to investigative researchers, while the official Super Bowl 2010 Hosting Committee lists the Super Bowl start time at 6:28 p.m. EST, the NFL's own Super Bowl site lists 6:25 p.m. EST. Furthermore, CBS lists two different 2010 Super Bowl start times, 6:18 p.m. EST or 6:25 p.m. EST.

Forget the fate of President Obama's health care plan. Let's get to the bottom of this Super Bowl Kickoff Start Time Controversy. We need Super Bowl Kickoff Start Time investigative reporters. Bring in Woodward and Bernstein (or Robert Redford or Dustin Hoffman). Better yet, bring in Geraldo!

When you consider that so many people at the last minute are asking when the Super Bowl will be played, this may indicate that there are a whole lot of people who don't actually care about the game, and won't be actually watching it, and who could care less which team actually wins. They're more concerned with a Super Bowl party than with the Super Bowl.

Therefore, they probably aren't looking for an exact Super Bowl start time. They just want to know the general proximity for when their Super Bowl party will happen. Pass the salsa, please.
