The Super Bowl. So much hype for this sunday, and for good reason. No need to get into the history of the game or day, we instead want to show you a little bit of behind the scenes. The Wall St Journal filmed a short video showing how the Vince Lombardi Trophy is made. Interesting watch for those like us who will be cramming food on the edge of our seat glued to Super Bowl XLVIII!

…and yes, Tiffany & Co! That is a big ass price tag!
