...said. They struck her as symbols: the Montanas' privacy is being cleared away. "The man is going to be a household word," she says almost regretfully. "There's no stopping him now. We had to make some security arrangements the other day." They are gaining the Super Bowl and losing the wilderness. -ByTomCallahan...
...softly, and with so little spin, says former Bengal Wide Receiver Chip Myers, "I was able to pick out the laces on the ball." Anderson's running ability is so good that Giants Coach Ray Perkins thinks it may spell the difference between the two closely matched Super Bowl teams. And in the N.F.L., where a quarterback may face 35 or 40 different defensive patterns in a single game, Anderson's ability to decode and react in nanoseconds is legendary. One result: he is the least intercepted quarterback in the league...
...Anderson was one of the league's premier quarterbacks, and the 11-3 Bengals were beginning to think Super Bowl. But then Walsh left, Anderson's statistics fell and the team deteriorated.

...N.F.L.'s decision to bring their ball to Pontiac's playground was not entirely magnanimous. Ernest Jones, 66, chairman of the Michigan Super Bowl Committee, is also chairman of D'Arcy-MacManus & Masius, a Detroit-based advertising agency, and he tackled Pete Rozelle with the aid of an awesome lineup. Jones got a full roster of ad-firm chieftains to "remind" Rozelle of their dedication. That dedication is measured in automotive industry advertisers-from cars to spark plugs to tires-who have supported the N.F.L. on television with an estimated $1 billion in commercials over the decades...
