    <description><![CDATA[Glendale, Arizona. The home of Super Bowl XLII.  No, that's not a world record sized wok, it's football, American style.  The New England Patriots are trying to break every record by winning the Super Bowl to cap an undefeated season over the New York Giants... Writer may sound like a fan but only watches for the commercials.  Worlds collide in this podcast as you learn about it all, in Mandarin Chinese.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[我恨死爱国者队了。Growing up in Florida as a Dolphins fan, my dad always said it didn't matter if I married a white girl or a black girl, a thin girl or a fat girl, a tall girl or a short girl, just as long as she wasn't a Bills fan. :) He later extended it to the entire AFC East.

Unfortunately, most Chinese don't know anything about football. The NFL is trying, though -- they've been running informational ads on the subway in Shanghai all season. Hopefully it will rub off and become a popular sport so I'll be able to see it on TV regularly again :)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[超级 (super) 碗 (bowl)
What a simple translation it is!
At first I thought it was a new version
of 铁饭碗 (tie3 fan4 wan3, an iron rice bowl), 
which means very secure jobs, such as civil servants.
