Lamer Hunt, the owner of the Kanas City Chiefs, couldn't believe it. His daughter had just bounced a small ball that was red, white, and blue over the roof of their house, and into their backyard. "What's that?" he asked. "It's a super ball daddy, a super ball." "No wonder it's called a super ball, it bounces super."

One day Hunt was on his way to a final Kansas City Chiefs game. All the players and Hunt kept referring to the game as the "final game" or the "the Championship game." Before they got there Hunt gave his usual pep talk. He accidentally said, "Now when we get to the super bowl..." All the players knew what he was talking about. Later he said it must have come from the super ball.

Later NFL adopted the name Super Bowl as the official name.
