NARRATION:
Superbowl!! The unexpected...the superb. The electrifying turn of events.

The unforgetable image.

Every year, fans relive almost twenty seasons of great superbowl action.

Every year, new great moments emerge:

Key plays, unexpected super-achievements

That turn the course of the game.

As a single event, the superbowl is the greatest promotional vehicle of the year. And it's not hard to see why.

For players...for fans...for casual viewers...there is a dimension of excitement surrounding the superbowl that exceeds that of almost any other sports event.

It's awesome event firepower--and this year, for the first time, we can tap it.

This year, pcd joins srd to make gillette's superbowl promotion bigger than ever.
