What: SuperBowl.com

Just in case you don’t get enough Super Bowl information this week on radio and television and in newspapers and magazines, there’s always SuperBowl.com, the NFL’s official Web site for Sunday’s big event.

The site offers an impressive lineup of analysts, including Fox’s Troy Aikman, CBS’ Phil Simms and new Dallas Cowboy Coach Bill Parcells. All have contributed analysis throughout the season on NFL.com.

Other analysts contributing to the site include former Buffalo Bill coach Marv Levy, CBS’ Boomer Esiason, Fox’s Cris Collinsworth, former Dallas Cowboy personnel executive Gil Brandt and, beginning Tuesday, Jennifer Allen, daughter of the late George Allen, author of “Fifth Quarter.”

Editors from “NFL Insider,” the NFL’s official magazine, also contribute to the site.

Sunday, fans who log on during the game will be able to vote for the game’s most valuable player. The fans’ votes count 20% toward the award. The media’s votes count for 80%. The media voting last year was so close that the fans’ votes determined that New England quarterback Tom Brady was the winner.

Also during the game, fans can get up-to-the-minute play by play and statistics and also hear press-box announcements.

SuperBowl.com will feature other multimedia elements via “RealOne SuperPass to the Bowl” (accessible via www.realone.com). These elements include “SuperBowl.com Live,” a daily streamed radio and TV show, 12:30-2 p.m., with Brandt and Steve Cohen, live and on-demand coverage of media day (Tuesday), NFL Films video, streamed news conferences and “NFL Insider” national editor Vic Carucci’s playoff reviews and recaps.
