Word hard, play hard!

It’s Super Bowl time, so let’s test your Super financial knowledge!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am an avid football fan (let’s say ‘glorified junkie’).  On the eve of Super Bowl XLVIII, I cannot think about anything other than football and team winning the game.  Although my beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers neglected to make it to the big dance this year, my favorite QB of all time, Peyton Manning, will lead the Denver Broncos to a victory tomorrow.

I have been playing this game nonstop since the release earlier this week.  Check out the question asked that we discussed in Lesson #10.
