Super Bowl craze is heating up even before the main event is taking place. This year it would be between the Steelers of Pittsburgh and the Packers of Green Bay. In other words, the Cheeseheads and the Terrible Towels will face each other on the thousand benches of the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Aside from the match itself, a lot of things would be completing the spices and beauty of every Super Bowl especially when the media people gets involve. A day before the big event, an NFL Experience fan festival in downtown Dallas took place and in it was this time that the renowned ESPN analyst Desmond Howard told everyone that he is being threatened by the former QB Phil Simms. This has been Howard’s tweet: “At NFL-Xperience and Phil Simms just threatened 2 hit me b/c I said his son was 1 of the worse QBs in the SEC. I told him ‘LET’S GO!’ “. It somewhat clear the reason why Phil Simms has been after him. He further tweeted later that time: “I am DEAD serious about the Phil Simms thing. We all thought he was joking, but he kept going and said he wanted 2 take a swing at me!!”

This is not the first time for Phil Simms to do such thing. Way back 2005, he also went after Steve Young after the former 49ers quarterback made some disparaging remarks about his other QB son, Chris, who was then the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

No one knows where will this thing lead but one thing is sure to happen before this week ends, the Super Bowl XLV champ would be made known and the whole Super Bowl XLV experience would be fun filled.

Lastly, for those who are relying on sports streaming sites for the Super Bowl 2011 live stream, it would be harder to find a decent one this time as the government just seized the most popular ones for copyright issues.
