Bruce Springsteen looked into the camera Sunday night and told the people watching at home to “put the chicken fingers down and turn the television all the way up!”

If you need convincing that Super Bowl Sunday has evolved into a national holiday, consider this: It’s now possible to hear arguments about the proper way to observe the occasion. Why, it’s practically Christmas in February. Attend a party and inhale hors d’oeuvres, or stiff-arm the whole shebang and go skiing? Hot wings or contempt?

All those years of sitting on the couch and consuming mass quantities of pizza on Super Bowl Sunday are about to pay off. You’ve seen a bazillion ads. You’ve watched scads of superstar halftime shows. Now test your knowledge by taking this trivia quiz.

TAMPA, Fla. – For the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers, today’s Super Bowl is about the rush. For Arizona, it will be rushing the ball to give quarterback Kurt Warner time to find targets like Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, the top members of the most dangerous receiving corps in football. For Pittsburgh, it is rushing Warner so he doesn’t have time to throw accurately – the Steelers were second in the NFL this season with 51 sacks.

TAMPA, Fla. – Dynasty vs. doormat. The Pittsburgh Steelers have signified success in the Super Bowl era with their stable ownership, brilliant coaching and throwback style. A victory today would give them a record sixth Super Bowl title, and they are 6 1/2 -point favorites to get it against the Arizona Cardinals.

TAMPA, Fla. – He is a master of disguise, so perhaps it’s not surprising that Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau once was actor Michael Caine’s double in a movie. LeBeau’s Steelers often go out of character, too – showing one look but doing something unconventional after the snap. One of the intriguing games-within-a-game during the Super Bowl on Sunday will be LeBeau’s maneuvering against Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt, the former Steelers offensive coordinator and one of LeBeau’s best friends.

TAMPA, Fla. – Try this in high school or at the mall, and you’d have an all-out brawl. But at the Super Bowl, it’s perfectly OK: Go ahead and grab Larry Fitzgerald or Troy Polamalu by their long hair, then yank ’em down.

TAMPA, Fla. – Trickery has a place at the Super Bowl, and the Steelers and Cardinals aren’t above using it to win. Yes, both teams’ repertoires are spiced with shenanigans. The Steelers prefer to smash opponents into submission, but the biggest play in their most recent Super Bowl victory was an end-around pass for the clinching touchdown.

Ed Drouin has been a San Francisco 49ers fan ever since 1952, when he entered kindergarten. Bedridden for months with a kidney infection, Drouin lay in the living room in front of the TV his parents bought for him.

TAMPA, Fla. – He will be the first Australian to play in the Super Bowl. A punter with a former life in Australian Rules Football, which could make him a trendsetter of sorts. Ben Graham, 35, soaked in Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday. He spent most of his time talking about his Australian days, nearly 10 minutes discussing his time with the New York Jets and just a few seconds discussing his favorite music.

TAMPA, Fla. – Troy Polamalu looked down from his podium at a 10-deep crush of media. Well, at least some of the questioners were actually reporters. Ben Roethlisberger’s audience was just as deep. Even defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, seated in the stands of Raymond James Stadium on Tuesday, was difficult to get near.
