Here we are again, prepared to watch the most anticipated sport game of the year: the Super Bowl. Every year, millions of people across the country set to spend a few hours in front of the big screen tv, flipping burgers and drinking beers with friends, while the two best teams of the NFL that year battle for the great title. Only this time we, the lucky ones that live in Miami, get to enjoy the previous and post game events, including the Pro Bowl. So before the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saint kick off the ball, there’s plenty of related activities to help us warm up and really score a touch down.

The Pro Bowl
It’s the National Football League’s annual all-star game pitting between players from the American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC).

Unfortunately, players from the teams who will be playing the Super Bowl won’t be participating. Obviously, they have to take care of themselves for the great game.

On Sunday at Sun Life Stadium The Honor Society will perform the pre-game show and national anthem.
